@@GreenDriveIndia He does not yet have any videos on the highland version of this config. However it just got available to order in norway a couple days ago, so I'm sure they coming.
< 200 wh/mi at freeway speeds is insane. We have owned two Model Ys since 2020 and my highway AVERAGE for both cars combined is 296 wh/mi. Our 2022 MYP is sitting at 272 because I dumped the 21" staggered OEM tires/wheels for some lightweight 18s squared from TSportLine. To be honest we have NEVER been in a situation where we needed AWD. We are 72 and if the weather is that bad, we stay home. So RWD here in STL will work. I'm so intrigued by this vehicle the extra 75+ miles of range is more important than 0 to 60 or 1/4 times. Great real-world review.
That's unreal. I have a 23 m3 rwd and doing 70 mph? You're def way over 200wwh/mi! The newer EVs are just going to be leaps and bounds superior, an dless expensive, than the year before very very soon.
Good work for your second video. I also ordered my M3 LR RWD after trying both AWD and RWD for 24 hours each. I actually did not like the subwoofer on AWD, it had a rattling sound in the car. I preferred the clean sound of RWD. Made my life easy and helped me save $5K. The acceleration in snow is lot slower with RWD compared to AWD but at no point RWD felt unsafe to drive or lacked power. The braking distance was very similar between RWD and AWD on fully snow covered parking lot.
I have a 2024 model 3 SR rear wheel drive and I’ve done a couple road trips and I drive 80 miles an hour or more because their are plenty of super chargers out there, so easy and easiest least stress roadtrip car I have had.
Thanks for your video. That is a great car. Good to hear range is what it claims. Usually it is a lot under what it claims. Can't wait to get the same car.
Just took delivery of my 2024 Model 3 LR RWD. Loving it. Only bad is that it still hasn’t updated to the 12.5.4 FSD so I’m forced to keep my hands on the wheel. And I agree with you completely, the audio is more than good enough.
can you do a range test with a 400 pound woman in the passenger seat? my wife is really big I just wanna make sure the range doesn't change with a large person in the car. (asking for a friend)
@@revaddict thank god. I've been having her use the treadmill for 2 hours a day to improve efficiency on my tesla. I guess ill tell her she can stop now.
Picking up the same car but with the white interior next week. Looking forward to the 363 mile rated range. So glad you made this video detailing how great the car rides, sounds, and meets its efficiency rating. Trading in a 2024 Model Y for the Model 3 LR RWD. Thanks again for being one of, if not the, first content creator to show the M3 LR RWD.
I'm trading the 2024 Model Y in for the 2024 Model 3 because my 90 year old mother has recently become unable to get into and out of the Y easily. The Model 3 is lower to the ground and will help tremendously. I love the Y and know that both mom and I will enjoy the 3 as much, if not more. Had traded in a 2022 Bolt EV to get the Y without the need to finance. Now doing the same thing to get the 3. Trade in on the Y was $8K more than my out of pocket cost (didn't finance the Y.) Even after a bit of depreciation on the Y, I'm paying a little under $3.5K cash for the 3 after trade in of the Y and tax incentive. Looking forward to staying in the Tesla family - Supercharging is awesome as is FSD. Side note: a number of years ago I gave mom a silver 2010 Honda Insight. We still keep it in the garage next to the Y.
Thank you for doing this range test for this specific model. I'm in college full time and I work full time, and I'm about to pull the trigger on a M3 LR RWD. My commute is over 20 miles one way, and I wanted to be confident in it's efficiency.
Thanks dude! Next time, please show the Trips section which shows the energy consumption for the entire trip. I know you're still learning the car so it's all good. Looking forward to more content. Subbed. 👍
Been really jonesing for someone to talk about this, so thank you! Nice car! Just a FWIW, please be careful with extension cords and level one charging at your home. It's not recommended to use them for this purpose as it can be a fire hazard. If you do use one, make sure it's a heavy gauge, heavy duty cable that is only as long as you absolutely need it to be. IE, don't use a 50 ft. cord to run 10 ft. Use a 20 amp outlet if at all possible. Also, another way to protect yourself is to lower the maximum charging current in the Tesla. On a 15A outlet, I typically set the maximum current to 8A or 10A. It's slow, but it's better than a fire. Thanks for a good vid!
I was cringing when I saw that. Agree totally with the above comment. If you need to use an extension cord witch in not recommended the problem here is the fact that you need a 20amp circuit which most outlets are not…they are typically 15 amps. The more amps you want to pull, the larger the wire or lower the guage. You’ll need a minimum of a 6awg copper stranded wire is you want to charge at the max potential of the system (for safety and to account for parasitic loss from the long run). Again it’s hard to make a mistake here as the plug required is a 14-50 NEMA and you are unlikely to have a proper plug on a 12awg cord. On the road, you’ll need to look for a microwave or better yet a dryer outlet. As those connections are typically dedicated circuits and the highest amp rated circuits. Also keep the connections off the ground and in a box.
I ordered mine exactly the same as yours on 8/30/24, so fairly recent (at the time of this comment). My home has level 2 charging in the garage with solar, and I live along a route that has about half a dozen superchargers. I’m excited to enjoy more driving convenience and lower stress. Your video was fun and informative to watch 🥃
I just purchased a 2024 AWD Model 3 Long Range. I am beyond excited. I am not interested in the self driving. I may try it when I get the car September19. Thanks for the great video.
Congratulations. But. DO TRY FSD! It WILL blow your mind. I have v12.5.1.5 on a 2020 MY AWD w HW3. For 3 weeks now I have not been driving anymore. I have disengagements or interventions on almost every drive. Sometimes it still gets a bit wobbly, but it is so good and you will get comfortable with it real quick. Highway driving is boring but FSD can do it all. It will make mistakes but I don't even bother to drive without it anymore. The handsfree experience has been a total game changer. Enjoy your new M3 when you get it!
I am still within the 30 day trial for the FSD. I turned it off. I don't like how much it slows down for slower turns. I feel like it's slowing down so much that someone might rear end me.
I pick up a 2025 Model 3 RWD LR this weekend. I am looking forward to driving 300+ miles without charging. I get about 250 miles on my Model Y. Though when I’m traveling with my family I can’t drive more than 2.5-3 hrs. without needing to stop.
I figured it out to days ago. to adjust the car distance when auto cruise control you use the right ball nob like you would to skip a song on the left one
Press the steering wheel's right scroll button to the left or right to change the follow distance! Thanks for following up on your other video and giving us more insight into the LR RWD! Keep it going :)
Thanks for the videos. I already ordered about a week ago and pondered making a video like this for everyone. Hoping mine comes before the 1.99% deal expires.
What a good video on the new Tesla Model 3. I'm really surprised how well it did during the drive and the fact it had 41% left on the battery impressed me. I was never into Teslas but if I was in the market for a new car I would actually consider a Tesla now.
I test drove the model 3 and y all variants and the fsd is mind bottling. I drove in fsd for over 3 hours and it was flawless. I pick up my model 3 rwd on Saturday. Tesla is wayyyyyyyyyy more advanced than other evs.
The difference in range from the night before and the one in the morning is because the battery temperature was most probably colder at night. The same applies with the readings displayed as you drive, the warmer the battery the more range you get.
I’m really impressed with this model. 300 miles at 80% state of charge. Battery is very efficient charging and consumption improvements. Very impressed with this model.
Finally someone came out with a Freemont made 70mph range test, well sort of. Best test would be 100% to 0 or nearest to that. Have mine on order in quicksilver.
Your next video should definitely be a range test uphll, downhill, through the mountains. But also you mighg have to use less things, like AC, MAPS, autopilot, just so you can reserve as much energy as possible for thr trip to get maximum range. Great video and test. Subbed.
It gets sold here in germany with a max range of 702km which is 436miles 😅 … since you guys have speed limits everywhere i‘m sure you will have a ton of range with it.. 😅 nice vid mate 👍😎😁
Pro tip: if you swipe where your audio playback settings are left or right, it will swap over to driving efficiency. The. We will get that in all your shots. Kw/mile is my main interest and you can see that in real time.
Wow, great video! Thanks for making the range test video so fast. More questions. 1. How was the seat comfort on the long trip? 2. How is acceleration off the line and while passing? 3. How was the sun/heat from the North Carolina summer from the glass roof? 4. Does it appear that the fabric door inserts will get dirty and rubbed from your arm while driving? Looking forward to more videos!
1. Ride comfort was good: for reference I’m 6 ft 2. Acceleration is super fast for both 3. Glass roof was surprising cool 4. Not that I can tell, unless you spilt liquid
One little advice : the number in the screen is the EPA number, so don't bother to show it. It is only the projection of the EPA number based on the state of charge of the battery. For exemple, if your EPA is 363 miles at 100%, the number will be 363 x SOC% during your drive. Welcome to the world of Tesla !
Absolutely true. I switched to battery % to monitor SOC. When traveling, the navigation destination SOC is the most accurate since the car could account for driver's driving speed, road status (elevation, traffics), and environmental factors to calculate SOC.
2:28 Adjusting the Following Distance To adjust the following distance you want to maintain between Model 3 and a vehicle traveling ahead of you, press the steering wheel's right scroll button to the left or right.
Can’t wait to get one of these or a refreshed model Y. Will be coming from a 2018 model 3 long range rwd with 145k miles so far. Been a great car and still going strong. Just remember to not always charge to 100. For long roadtrips it’s ok here and there. Otherwise keep it down to 80/70 percent to make that battery last a good while. Which should be plenty enough for all daily needs plus the fastest charging is done between then. Last 20 percent will always take the longest. Best of luck !
Great video showing 5 mi/kwh for the last 30 miles. Though you showed the kwh/mi for the last 30 miles, it would also be helpful to show the kwh/mi for the entire 217 mile trip.
@@projectMac03You averaged 204.7 wh/mi for the entire 217 mi trip (@ 70 mph)???????!! That's freaking INSANE. Moderate temps, low/no wind and no to little elevation gain off course will massively boost your efficiency. Sounds like you had near perfect conditions, but it's still insane to meet MIXED driving EPA efficiency on this drive!!!! Tesla hit the engineering on this car out of the park! Lifetime after 66k mi my MY is at it's EPA efficiency (281 wh/mi) but on road trips I consume about 310 wh/mi.
Awesome video man, and I agree with the speakers. I did an overnight demo drive and the speakers are perfectly fine. I would be nice if you could do a range test but going faster. Realistically, not all of us will be driving at 70mph.
i'm super interested in this car. i think it's definitely the best tesla you can buy right now. could you do a supercharging test next? maybe 0%-100% and 10%-80%
Love the video, i own 2021 model 3 rwd, i almost trade my car in for the new model 3 but i didn’t. I decided to keep my car and wait for the refresh model y. I believe it comes next year
I’ve test-driven both the LR RWD and LR AWD, and the all-wheel drive model offers much clearer audio and better separation compared to the LR RWD. Personally, I prefer the all-wheel drive by a landslide. .
@@EvanJohnsonEtc Better separation in audio means each sound (like bass, vocals, and instruments) is clear and distinct, not muddy or overlapping. It makes the listening experience more detailed, allowing you to hear each element on its own.
You need to get hold of a long range AWD and do an honest audio comparison. Then get a quote to professionally add 2 subs to your car which should bring the quality up almost to parity.
Some issues I have on the same car delivered Aug 10th. The left side button doesn't scroll right too well. Affects adjusting mirrors or skipping songs. Right side button going into Autopilot is intermittent...although I hear you have to long hold the button to get into Autopilot.
Great video. Thanks man. New sub here from southern Oregon. Waiting on q4 to see what kind of incentives are offered. Really want a performance in blue with white interior under the tax credit cap.
Just left the Tesla dealership. Test drove the awd lr and performance. How is the interior in the rear wheel drive lr and sound system? I gotta decide by next Saturday to get the 1.9% financing and 7500. Help me.
@@mkg1425 I value range over everything, so rwd was an obvious choice. 9 speakers vs 17. No subs. It is good enough for me. Acceleration is still punchy. If you need awd where you live, go with that.
@@duranfly A couple of things to consider are that the car does lose range overnight if you use Sentry Mode, about 1 mile or so per hour. Charging my car from 10% to 80% costs about $19 at my local Supercharger, which is 40 cents per kilowatt, on the high side for my area. Most cost savings come from charging at home, but Supercharging is doable if you’re okay with the cost and the time it takes to charge.
What’s the difference in features between the LR RWD and AWD besides the motors, range, power, etc? Like heated seats, materials, subwoofer, tweeters, etc. I can’t seem to find any definitive list of differences anywhere other than the AWD has more speakers.
fingerprints on the touchscreen would bug the hell out of me. Have you driven an AWD LR version, and can compare the throttle response and driving experience (not in slippery conditions, or drag racing)? thx!
yeah cruising at 70 mph will definitely get you closer to the rated range. I drove from socal to norcal but avg speed was like 80/85 so i probably got like 70% of my rated range
Really wanted this car, but I'll go with my better judgement and wait. I honestly can't afford it right now lol and buying this now would be irresponsible, so I'll wait until 2025, hope the 1.99% APR will be available with the new 2025 model.
Why is only the top half of the rear window tinted? Very odd. Always tint the whole window to block heat. I would never drive a car without any window tint. Especially in Texas or hot states. And here in Texas, tollway speeds are 85-90mph. Would like some tests from someone with ANY Tesla to go that fast. Also when you use autopilot it doesnt even go 1 mile over rated speed, which makes it worthless near me. Everyone goes 10miles over the rated speed on highways and roads.
I have not yet checked this myself, but the Chill, Average, and Assertive FSD modes are supposed to help with follow distance. Chill mode provides a more relaxed driving style with a larger follow distance and fewer lane changes. Average mode has a medium follow distance. Assertive mode has a shorter follow distance and more frequent lane changes. Again, can’t confirm this from my own experience, but give those modes a try and see if they make any difference for you.
@@projectMac03 I set my speed to 85mph on the highway so I don't often tail 18 wheelers. FSD is not fully integrated yet so you have to set your speed on the highway and may have to override it to 85 and set it back from time to time.
How Tesla is going to introduce the Robo-taxi next year if they are not able to make the current Teslas drive by them selfs with us looking at the road all the time? Tesla is promising something that is not even realistic

Thank you for an actual real world range test. I regularly drive 3.5 hours to see family and this is so relatable
< 200 wh/mi at freeway speeds is insane. We have owned two Model Ys since 2020 and my highway AVERAGE for both cars combined is 296 wh/mi. Our 2022 MYP is sitting at 272 because I dumped the 21" staggered OEM tires/wheels for some lightweight 18s squared from TSportLine. To be honest we have NEVER been in a situation where we needed AWD. We are 72 and if the weather is that bad, we stay home. So RWD here in STL will work. I'm so intrigued by this vehicle the extra 75+ miles of range is more important than 0 to 60 or 1/4 times. Great real-world review.
Nah it's only the last 30 miles. I'm guessing his overall average over the 217 miles was around 220 which is still excellent
That's unreal. I have a 23 m3 rwd and doing 70 mph? You're def way over 200wwh/mi! The newer EVs are just going to be leaps and bounds superior, an dless expensive, than the year before very very soon.

@@projectMac03You averaged 204.7 wh/mi for the entire 217 mi trip (@ 70 mph)???????!! That's freaking INSANE. Moderate temps, low/no wind and no to little elevation gain off course will massively boost your efficiency. Sounds like you had near perfect conditions, but it's still insane to meet MIXED driving EPA efficiency on this drive!!!! Tesla hit the engineering on this car out of the park!
Lifetime after 66k mi my MY is at it's EPA efficiency (281 wh/mi) but on road trips I consume about 310 wh/mi.
Great video! Please post more about your Tesla M3 RWD LR. I really want to get this car as well.
Do it! I love it already. Came from a 2010 Honda insight hybrid.
Awesome video man, and I agree with the speakers. I did an overnight demo drive and the speakers are perfectly fine. I would be nice if you could do a range test but going faster. Realistically, not all of us will be driving at 70mph.
i'm super interested in this car. i think it's definitely the best tesla you can buy right now. could you do a supercharging test next? maybe 0%-100% and 10%-80%
10-80% coming soon. Looks like Tesla just released their new referral program as well. Be sure to use one to save an extra 1k!
(217 / 59) * 100 = 367 miles on 65 - 70mph is absolutely insane. If this was combined city and highway I would be impressed.
Love the video, i own 2021 model 3 rwd, i almost trade my car in for the new model 3 but i didn’t. I decided to keep my car and wait for the refresh model y. I believe it comes next year
I’ve test-driven both the LR RWD and LR AWD, and the all-wheel drive model offers much clearer audio and better separation compared to the LR RWD. Personally, I prefer the all-wheel drive by a landslide.
.
What do you mean by “better separation”?
@@EvanJohnsonEtc Better separation in audio means each sound (like bass, vocals, and instruments) is clear and distinct, not muddy or overlapping. It makes the listening experience more detailed, allowing you to hear each element on its own.
would you describe the RWD as muddy or .. ?
@@michaelthompson7217 in a way, it is just a little muffled
I will rather care for the range than audio... experience
I love this because the longest range Tesla is the most important for buyers.
You need to get hold of a long range AWD and do an honest audio comparison. Then get a quote to professionally add 2 subs to your car which should bring the quality up almost to parity.
Please do the same drive in the winter. I have talked to a few Tesla owners, and they all say that the range degraded in cold weather.
Some issues I have on the same car delivered Aug 10th. The left side button doesn't scroll right too well. Affects adjusting mirrors or skipping songs. Right side button going into Autopilot is intermittent...although I hear you have to long hold the button to get into Autopilot.
Great video. Thanks man. New sub here from southern Oregon. Waiting on q4 to see what kind of incentives are offered. Really want a performance in blue with white interior under the tax credit cap.
I appreciate the support, Performance looks so sick!
@@projectMac03 no doubt! Take care.
Just left the Tesla dealership. Test drove the awd lr and performance. How is the interior in the rear wheel drive lr and sound system? I gotta decide by next Saturday to get the 1.9% financing and 7500. Help me.
@@mkg1425 I value range over everything, so rwd was an obvious choice. 9 speakers vs 17. No subs. It is good enough for me. Acceleration is still punchy. If you need awd where you live, go with that.
@@projectMac03 from what I’ve read the interior and sound system in the RWD LR is basic and not premium.
I ordered mines and was about to change my mind but u sold me on the car again 😂
@@duranfly awesome! I’ve had mine for a month, can’t say enough good things about it.
@@projectMac03 I was worried about the range I stay in an apartment and would charge solely on chargers outside …I just love the car and the deal
@@duranfly does your apartment have a charger?
@@projectMac03 nope 😔
@@duranfly A couple of things to consider are that the car does lose range overnight if you use Sentry Mode, about 1 mile or so per hour. Charging my car from 10% to 80% costs about $19 at my local Supercharger, which is 40 cents per kilowatt, on the high side for my area. Most cost savings come from charging at home, but Supercharging is doable if you’re okay with the cost and the time it takes to charge.
The difference in range between the rwd and awd are negligible price is really the difference imo
FSD beta doesn’t allow user to change the following distance. The car manage that automatically and maybe it’s also influenced by the driving profile.
Gotcha, too close to semi trucks sometimes
Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD efficiency is very impressive.
What’s the difference in features between the LR RWD and AWD besides the motors, range, power, etc? Like heated seats, materials, subwoofer, tweeters, etc. I can’t seem to find any definitive list of differences anywhere other than the AWD has more speakers.
Can you do a 0-60/0-100 on the new LR RWD ? Nobody seems to have done it.
fingerprints on the touchscreen would bug the hell out of me. Have you driven an AWD LR version, and can compare the throttle response and driving experience (not in slippery conditions, or drag racing)? thx!
yeah cruising at 70 mph will definitely get you closer to the rated range. I drove from socal to norcal but avg speed was like 80/85 so i probably got like 70% of my rated range
Still pretty good!
@@projectMac03 just imagine if you were cruising at 60 miles an hour you would probably get 400 miles
@@Kimbrough87 might have to try this
a beast
Hi, quick question, do you still need to charged to 100% once per week? Thanks for the video keep up the good work🙌🏼
No, that was with the standard range. The long range version is recommended to 80% for normal everyday driving.
What was the cost of the trip compared to an equivalent ICE vehicle.
How many miles you can make it in real world total number
At 70 mph probably 340-360
What do you think of the heavy rain and snow effect on RWD
Maybe a very specific question: but does your charging tab in the menu show the "daily" and "trip"?
Do you have a referral code we can use buying a new tesla?
@@sasaneon Here it is: ts.la/kaine50730
@@projectMac03 thanks, ordered
Really wanted this car, but I'll go with my better judgement and wait. I honestly can't afford it right now lol and buying this now would be irresponsible, so I'll wait until 2025, hope the 1.99% APR will be available with the new 2025 model.
this is what I am doing. hoping there is a promotion in the new year or at the end of the year
What version was the car delivered with? Did it come with FSD 12.5? Have gotten an update since delivery?
@@Nathaniel4100 yes it was up-to-date. Currently on the latest build.
use percentage, it's much easier & accurate than miles, miles shown are extremely rosy & unrealistically optimistic
Why is only the top half of the rear window tinted? Very odd. Always tint the whole window to block heat. I would never drive a car without any window tint. Especially in Texas or hot states. And here in Texas, tollway speeds are 85-90mph. Would like some tests from someone with ANY Tesla to go that fast. Also when you use autopilot it doesnt even go 1 mile over rated speed, which makes it worthless near me. Everyone goes 10miles over the rated speed on highways and roads.
Are you charging at home on regular outlet?
Currently, yes since I’m renting. I have access to a level 2 at work as well.
You cannot change the follow distance with FSD.
So annoying, trying to avoid it tailing 18 wheelers
I have not yet checked this myself, but the Chill, Average, and Assertive FSD modes are supposed to help with follow distance. Chill mode provides a more relaxed driving style with a larger follow distance and fewer lane changes. Average mode has a medium follow distance. Assertive mode has a shorter follow distance and more frequent lane changes. Again, can’t confirm this from my own experience, but give those modes a try and see if they make any difference for you.
@@fedderd FSD is unaffected by any of these settings, they do nothing, chill mode does nothing.
@@projectMac03 I set my speed to 85mph on the highway so I don't often tail 18 wheelers. FSD is not fully integrated yet so you have to set your speed on the highway and may have to override it to 85 and set it back from time to time.
Hello. This is Cherry from Coverado. Are you interested in working with us to try our Model 3 floor mats and help us make a video?
You might want a thicker extension cord 😮

Why is your screen showing red car
you can change the color of the car on the screen to whatever you want
Thats pretty good. My 2022 long range dual motor on 18s with sticky summer tires wont crack 200 miles on a full charge
@@GXKid06 what was the epa rating when you purchased? And did you notice a significant decrease in range over time?
@@projectMac03 epa at the time was 358
How Tesla is going to introduce the Robo-taxi next year if they are not able to make the current Teslas drive by them selfs with us looking at the road all the time? Tesla is promising something that is not even realistic
That has been Musk's main scam for years now.
can’t trust any tesla promises tbh. it’s all just hype
Good job)
Russians love you😂
What😂
It's a range test but we don't know the range
363 miles rated
@projectMac03
Thanks
I wasn't sure if you mentioned it or not
"Full Self Driving" is a misnomer at best as the car still needs human supervision. In some places this deception would be referred to as "fraud".
Waaaaaah.
Typical of electric car drivers, they go slowly to increase their range and even trucks pass them.Good video however
why tf are you cruising in the 3rd lane. stay right unless passing.
FSD 🤷♂️
Can you show car more rather than your face thanks
Kk
No $40K+ car should qualify for EV credits and taxpayer hard earned money.
You should look into the tax breaks on 6000+ pound gasoline trucks costing $50k to $100k and more.
Don’t hate
what's the hp? I know its about a sec faster 0-60 than a reg model 3 rwd
