Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)
Charging Point Max. Power Power Time Rate
Wall Plug (2.3 kW) 230V / 1x10A 2.3 kW 38h30m 8 mph
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW) 230V / 1x16A 3.7 kW 24 hours 13 mph
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW) 230V / 1x32A 7.4 kW 12 hours 25 mph

Rapid Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD.

  • Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
  • Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
  • Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
  • Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%

This vehicle supports Autocharge
This vehicle does not support Plug & Charge

† = Limited by charging capabilities of vehicle

Autocharge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations.

Plug & Charge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations in accordance with ISO 15118.

Actual charging rates may differ from data shown due to factors like outside temperature, state of the battery and driving style.

Long Distance Suitability

How suitable an electric car is for long trips depends not only on the range. How quickly the car can charge plays an almost equally important role. Whether an EV is suitable for long trips depends on the battery capacity, efficiency, and fast charging capability.

To easily compare cars among each other, a benchmark has been established that combines these factors into the total distance a vehicle can cover with one 15-minute charging stop: the '1-Stop Range'. Based on the 1-Stop Range, the 5-star rating is determined. The result of the benchmark is shown in the graph below.

All about the Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD

No longer available

This electric vehicle is no longer in production and not available to buy new. The Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD was available from April 2023 until October 2023. Financial data like price, leasing and company car tax were applicable to the final year of availability of the Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD.

A new model of the Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2023) is available: Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2024).

Pricing

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD had a Recommend Retail Price (RRP) of £46,000 and an On The Road Price (OTR) of £46,990. The OTR Price includes VAT, first year of VED, vehicle first registration fee, number plates and delivery.

Drivetrain and Performance

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The estimated maximum power of the Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD is 220 kW (295 hp). The estimated maximum torque is 332 lb-ft. The Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD is rear wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 5.9 seconds. The top speed is 145 mph.

Battery and Charging

The battery of the Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD has a total capacity of 78.1 kWh. The usable capacity is 75 kWh (estimate). An estimated range of about 305 miles is achievable on a fully charged battery. The actual range will however depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style.

For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in a range of around 220 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 445 mi.

Charging is done using a Type 2 connector and the on-board charger has a maximum power of 11 kW. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 8 hours 15 minutes. However, a 3-phase grid connection is needed to achieve this. The majority of homes and charge points currently do not have this connection. In most cases the maximum charging power will be 7.4 kW, allowing for a charge time of 12 hours and a charge rate of 26 mph. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 38 hours 30 minutes.

Rapid charging is possible through a CCS Supercharger connection. The maximum rapid charge power is 250 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 124 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 210 miles of range.

Energy Consumption

The estimated combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD is about 246 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 165 mpg in a traditional petrol car.

The actual energy consumption will depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style. For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in an energy use of around 341 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 169 Wh per mile.

CO2 Emission

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD emits no CO2 during driving. This only includes direct emissions from the vehicle itself. The energy needed to charge the battery might have been (partly) generated by the use of fossil fuels. Vehicles with an internal combustion engine will always emit CO2 during driving. Additionally, CO2 is emitted during the production and transport of fossil fuels.
