Tesla Model 3 Performance exceeds EPA range estimates in real-world test

Automotive review site Edmunds has never shied way from calling out Tesla when its vehicles miss their EPA range estimates in real-world tests. But in a recent review of the reengineered Tesla Model 3 Performance, Edmunds observed that the all-electric sports sedan was not just able to meet its EPA range estimates—it was able to exceed them.

A look at Tesla’s order page for the reengineered Model 3 Performance would show that the vehicle is listed with an EPA-estimated range of 303 miles per charge. As noted by Edmunds in a post on its website, the new Model 3 Performance actually managed to travel 307 miles in its real-world range test. That translates to a consumption of 29 kWh per 100 miles, which is quite impressive.

The automotive review firm highlighted that most Teslas that it has reviewed in the past were not able to beat or even meet their EPA range estimates. This was true for the 2018 Model 3 Performance, which traveled 256 miles in Edmunds’ range test despite its EPA-estimated range of 310 miles per charge. The same was true for Tesla’s other vehicles.

Interestingly enough, the reengineered Model 3 Performance was not the only Tesla that exceeded its EPA range estimates in Edmunds’ real-world range test. The Tesla Cybertruck Foundation Series AWD with All Terrain Tires, which was listed with 318 miles of EPA-estimated range, traveled 334 miles during the firm’s range test. That was extremely surprising and impressive considering the Cybertruck’s large size and its all-terrain tires.

This was not the first time that the reengineered Model 3 exceeded its EPA range estimates in a real-world test. Last month, EV group Out of Spec Studios performed an extreme range test between the previous generation Model 3 AWD and the reengineered Model 3 AWD. Much to the group’s pleasant surprise, the reengineered Tesla Model 3 AWD was able to travel 370 miles at 70 mph, blowing past its EPA-estimated range of 341 miles per charge.
