At highway speeds, the refreshed Model 3 bests the outgoing model, the previous efficiency record holder.
Entry-level Tesla Model 3 “Highland” bests previous model’s efficiency figures at highway speeds. Equipped with an LFP battery, it’s the cheapest EV in Tesla’s portfolio. All the work that Tesla put into making the refreshed Model 3 more energy efficient seems to have paid off, with the facelifted electric sedan beating the discontinued version, at least in Bjorn Nyland’s highway test, which you can watch embedded at the top of this page.
Bear in mind that this figure takes into account both city and highway driving scenarios, as per the EPA procedure, which is why on many occasions you’ll see EVs struggling to match their EPA numbers when only driven at highway speeds where the efficiency is lower than during city driving at lower speeds. However, with an ambient temperature of around 66-67 degrees, the white Model 3 you see in Nyland’s video above beat the EPA figures in real-world highway driving.
