Range test

Tesla Model 3

Performance (2019)

The 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance reached 520 km at 90 km/h in the summer data, despite the 20-inch wheels that are standard on this version. It was driven on Californian highways, and up to then Tesla's Performance models had always been less efficient in the tests than the regular versions, the price of more power. Regenerative braking also became limited on a long descent, and the noise level was about 66 dB at 90 km/h on smooth asphalt. With its generous storage spaces, it came across as a car made for long road trips.
