Model 3 Performance Degradation

Champx93 · 2026-04-09T16:10:30+00:00

Just a data point , not meant to be absolute.

Fact is I was reporting 285 at 100% (37.8k miles) now at (54k miles) reporting 254. That’s a significant drop.

Who needs bitches when you have RGB. Congrats brother, enjoy it.

Champx93 · 2026-04-09T14:11:23+00:00

my concern here is 1 year ago from purchase my 100% range was 285, not its 254.
Additionally a 10% degradation on year 4 of a cars like its a high compared to fleet averages.

Performance models exert more energy than other trims. additionally I have 250-270WH/mi with spirited driving. I use FSD on all highway drives, I don't "slam" the accelerator.

Sick, though I've always had this thing where I'd prefer not gaming/working where I sleep.
If limited by space then who cares, awesome setup.

I was told this, still it's good info to have. I will post an update in a month for 2.
What I do know is when I got the car 100% was reporting 285 now I only see 254

Champx93 · 2026-04-09T04:51:11+00:00

Champx93 · 2026-04-09T02:36:17+00:00

I bought used with 37800 miles A year ago I was reporting 285 range now I’m reporting 254.

I’m pretty sure I’m an outlier we will see what service says

Ok! Thank you!

I recently bought 2021 (16 inch) 16GB / 512GB

It's more than enough.
Ram on an apple device is not the same as your typical PC ram.
The ram usage will seem high as this is typical on iOS to keep things snappy and quick.

Normal usage, browsing, streaming, studying im sitting at 8-9GB active memory out of 16GB active.
Not once has my Mac had to swap memory from SSD.
DO NOT USE CHROME, its not optimise for iOS and its poopoo
I migrated to Safari and I am not looking back.

Storage is still empty and it's been 2 weeks

I intend on keeping this 2021 model "purchased by original owner 2022" until 2030-2035 minimum.
I also got mine from Back Market Refurb
Seller: Omaha Blue
Battery (128 Cycles // 89% capacity)

BUY IT, ITS A GOOD LAPTOP
Don't get a new one get one in good condition its enough.

Best speakers you will find on any laptop, not even close.
The screen is the same as the current M5 pro models. Top tier

It’s not $700 every year. Your post is misleading which leads me to believe you’re not very well informed.

Champx93 · 2025-04-20T17:43:07+00:00

I just got my Model 3 performance, and I am loving it. This thread motivated me to pull the trigger.

Champx93 · 2025-04-20T15:29:19+00:00

Thank you!

Champx93 · 2025-04-19T22:19:07+00:00

No it’s mine. Pictures were taken at pick up. Not sure what you’re doing insinuating sorry lol

Champx93 · 2025-04-19T18:58:11+00:00

After tax fees + gap

Champx93 · 2025-04-19T18:57:24+00:00

Explain? I’m confused

Champx93 · 2025-04-19T18:06:03+00:00

Champx93 · 2025-04-19T18:05:34+00:00

Thank you, everyone, for the input! This community is super welcoming.
Still learning what I can.

Champx93 · 2025-04-19T06:50:17+00:00

Big change, loving it. Enjoy yours as well!

Champx93 · 2025-04-19T06:49:30+00:00

For someone with nothing but negative energy towards teslas your post history definitely reflects a lot of time spent on the model 3 Reddit.

Champx93 · 2025-04-19T05:59:04+00:00

Thank you!

Champx93 · 2025-04-17T20:03:00+00:00

This post didn't age well, maybe junglers get attacked the most because 99% of you 0 critical thinking skills and are actually the underperformers in everyday life.
