Standard v Long Range convoy comparison of New 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland

Which should you buy? Well maybe this video will help you decide…
The main objective I wanted to find out was how the REAL range compares for each of these cars. The Standard Range is usually a bit more efficient than the Dual Motor versions so despite a smaller battery it still has impressive range.
But this is the first time we’ve driven both cars side-by-side in convoy to really get a true guage on how they compare. And the only real way to compare two electric cars is to drive them in convoy on the same roads at the same speed at the same time.
We’ll see just how efficient the Standard Range model can be but we also run through some of the other differences such as door card material (cloth v alcantara) and the different sound systems.
Which version should you buy? Well for most people probably save £10,000 (at time of writing) and just get the standard range which at £40,000 represents a bit of a bargain in my opinion! it may not be as fast but it’s still loaded with specification, performance and sound more than adequate for most, and the efficiency, range and charging speed all super impressive.

One important benefit of the SR though: being a LFP battery means charging to 100% as a matter of routine which gives a day-to- day range comparable to the LR.

Exactly. No battery conservation regime required. >250 miles waiting on the driveway every morning. What's not to love about that? I think I drove more than 250 miles in one stint a couple of times in the last 5 years (House-hunting in South West France, trying to get there from Newhaven-Dieppe to Bergerac as quickly as possible on the (beautiful) Autoroute). A realistic 250 miles plus an anxiety buffer of 30 miles suits me down to the ground for 99.999% of my driving.

It's a nice bonus, but then again who actually does a spontaneous 200+ mile trip on the fly without time to charge those last 10/20% first?

@arbitrary76 4 ай бұрын

Good point. You can charge an LR to 100% just before a long trip, but not every day. I think the range of the SR is plenty for many people. I have an LR Model Y rather than an SR, but that is mostly because I wanted AWD.

@SamiPaju 4 ай бұрын

I’ve been trying to find an answer to this, and the best I’ve found is that LFP batteries take a bigger hit in range and charging speeds in freezing temperatures compared to NMC batteries. But it’s tough to find any proper testing with exact data and numbers. Anyway, my point being that despite the advantage you mentioned, LFP battery range might not actually be that good in cold weather.

Thanks for doing this comparison, it looks like the standard range is a good increase and near 300 mile in the real world tests. I would choose the standard range as it is not often that I need the extra range and it would be far quicker than my current Kia E Niro.

In my Highland LR, I drove around country roads in Wales at the speed limits of mostly 50/60 with the usual 30mph villages, at 10°C with 60% charge and ended up with 191Wh per mile, or a calculated range of 393 miles, which is a bit crazy… 220Wh per mile on the motorway…

Interesting review. I currently have a 3.5 year old Model 3 Long Range. One thing I consider is the residual value after say 4 years of ownership. The LR should be worth more when I come to sell it. Maybe 4k more? Therefore over the 4 years, the ‘real’ cost is an extra 6k that would give me faster 0-60, longer range, better stereo and 4WD. Plus the battery range will degrade over time so the real world range will remain stronger. On this basis I’d go for LR again. Happy to be challenged on these numbers!

Great video, thanks Richard. SR is a great car. Looking at the efficiency of the LR in the video, a quick note to share what I got out of my 2020 LR (Gen 1, no heat pump) driving one week the exact same distance and route, at about 7C outside temp, at max legal speed , climate at 20C, distance of 79 miles (M3 - M27 - A31), I returned 236W/mile. Did the same route with heating off and returned 229W/mile so not a big difference with/without heating on. You can see the difference between Gen 1 and Highland: 211W vs 236W. Still, the SR beats everything.

@@BigRobLandanHard to give a number as it depends on many things. On a zero C to negative C Weather day, with short runs in London, a lot of stopngo with a cold battery - your best bet would be about 160miles from 100% to 0%. In a normal winter day if you don't abuse the heater a lot, with StopNGo, maybe 200miles. Maybe less. With the heater off maybe 220 miles. You will also have to factor in things like sentry if you use it (this drains the battery while parked - it is best not to use it when you don't really need it). In the summer 280miles would be possible in the city as a max range.

So what’s point of LR then if your recommended to charge to 80% most of the time? Would the range at 80% on LR match or there abouts 100% charge of Sr? So get the LR if you going to lots of long journeys but it’s recommended not to charge to beyond 80% often. Understanding EVs is tough, maybe just stick to my diesel car 😂😂

Good video, I have been waiting for this one. I have the 2022 LFP and as proven on my tests on my channel, I get 280+ miles in half decent weather at normal motorway speeds on long journeys. The RWD is more efficient. Big advantage is charge to 100% each time. I think for £10k less, the LR is a ‘hard sell’ for most. My 2022 RWD is a fantastic car, I prefer it to my 2018 S. I drive everywhere no issue, distance is not a problem in the RWD. Looks like the new one may get slightly more miles, but not much. I actually find the audio in my 2022 RWD fantastic, better than the enhanced audio in the S. Nice to hear this one may be even better.

They are becoming very affordable now Used with decent low-ish mileage. My opinion? Seriously, if a Highland is going to put you badly out of pocket, a used heat pump model M3 is very appealing. Especially if you've never been that used to a Tesla, as he hasn't. Though he has test driven both those 2023 options now and loves them both, but also loves the sharper looks of the 2024s.

Pricing second hand cars with the battery degradation on EVs is going to be hard for a while. What are the prices like for an iPhone 11 compared to an iPhone 15?

Hey Richard, I think you missed the point I was making. I was referring to the current situation where there are SR and LR's out there. If you have two that have exactly the same age and mileage, are they the some price 2nd hand or is there an allowance added for the larger battery capacity? Conversely, is the SR cheaper than and identical LR due to a smaller battery and therefore potential larger gross loss in range with degradation. I'm not ask you to speculate on the used values 3 years into the future. I'm asking what is you experience with the factors I've listed above. Would be nice to know, if you had that information. :) Keep up the great work.

Plus, the SR battery charges to 100% daily (vs 80% ish of ER unless in supercharger).

@vecsy90 4 ай бұрын

For company car and for people who drive long distance very often, the LR model worth the extra £10k. Also, in countries with snow, the AWD LR could be crucial. For me, the SR Highland consumes 14% battery during a 70km daily commute. I got 3,500km in 2 months and the avergae consumption is 12,9kwh/100km. That's 450km range on a single charge in average. I've not used superchargers yet. Only charging in my garage at 16A 3,6kw/h (slowest possible wall charger). I don't even need an expensive higher capacity wall charger. In 8 hours during the night it charges 45% which covers 3 days of my commute. I've already saved over €200 on petrol. Insurance a little bit higher but there's no road tax and annual maintenance. So for people like me it's a no brainer to have an EV. Fast, quite, comfortable, cheap to run. Thanks for the video, it shows I've made the right decision with the SR 😊

After owning a 2020 long range I think I’d always go standard range in the future despite regularly doing 400 mile round trips. Unless you want the dual motor, £10k is a lot just to save a few supercharges at stops I would do anyway

Does the SR use LFP over there as well? If so, 80% of LR and 100% of SR (The recommended charge limits) are almost identical.

Great video. I don't own an electric car but would i be correct in saying that nobody drives the full range of the battery? So if you wanted to plug in the least amount of times it would probably only meaning using 70 - 80% of the full capacity?

If you never plan to leave "town" and road trip, standard 100%. But if you think you will take road trips and plan to keep the car for 3-5 years or more I'd say LR all the way. It all adds up over time in my opinion. Resale is better as well

We have the Highland SR Model 3 and plug it in every evening to trickle charge it to 100%. Given that the LR should only be charged to 80% and that otherwise they are almost identical, I struggle to find a reason for the extra cost. Maybe if one day the LR gets LFP batteries to unlock the full range on a daily basis, but for now it doesn't seem all that attractive to me.

Just searched for this, nice timing:) The long range is a bit of a weird proposition, you cannot really justify buying it given the price difference. I am glad Tesla made the standard range so good, I think all in all it is a positive for consumers. Would love a standard range with the bigger battery though and only a 4k increase or something.

This. The figures the RWD is pulling now from my own testing if I got another one Id seriously consider it over a LR or P the efficiency is rediculous. They are quick enough.

Good to see, especially as I’m about to go from a 2020 LR to a 2024 SR (in that stunning Ultra Red with the white interior). I don’t feel quite so miffed about the company car downgrade.

Anyone noticed the w204 C63 in the Merc Dealer 😀 at (8:05). Great video what about the battery chemistry on each car. I believe it's different and will impact day-to-day driving and long-distance travel. I think it's not mentioned in this video.

I bought the LR three month ago because of (a) the AWD and (b) -to be honest- because of the 498 horsepower, which is faaaaaar more than the SR has. And YES, it makes a lot of fun to do the 0-100kmh in a little bit more than 4s (I am always under the promised 4,4s...). I do not care about the range, my battery level is set to 80percent every morning when I drive to work ;-)

enfin un essai comparatif avec les jantes identiques ! merci. 100 km d'écart , ce n'est pas rien, si c'est bien avéré sur un 100% => 5 % avantage de pouvoir choisir l'arret ou pas aux bornes, domicile-domicile possible ...
