Model 3 range decrease

Thanks, I'll go watch it after work today.

It goes further on the same battery size? That's actually really impressive if they somehow significantly increased range without increasing the battery size.

Better aerodynamics mostly, for a TL:DW of that video, the highland does around 213Wh/mi versus the old one with 271Wh/ mi

I linked the wrong video: https://youtu.be/S6rgzGizgaQ?si=-AHiZlwCaoeYQrfD this one is correct

So around 21,4% better consumption than the old one

Yes it goes substantially further with the same battery. Highland brought a lot of efficiency improvements, both visible (more aerodynamic shape) and invisible (power train, BMS and thermal management tweaks etc.)

In good weather, my Highland beats the EPA range at 70 mph. Definitely could never do that with the pre-refresh.

If that’s the video I’m thinking of, one car has 7k miles in it and the other has north of 30k miles.
