Performance

The Tesla Model 3 Standard has a maximum power of 208 kW (283 hp / 279 bhp) and a total torque of 420 Nm (310 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 6.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 225 km/h (140 mph).

Battery, Range, and Charging

The battery has a gross capacity of 72.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 69.5 kWh, with a 2.5 kWh buffer (3.5%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 345 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.

This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) estimated range varies between 321 to 300 miles (516-483 km), depending on the vehicle's configuration and options. For instance, larger wheels can increase energy consumption and reduce the overall range.

The energy consumption rates are 4.6 mi/kWh for the base model and 4.3 mi/kWh for the top-tier version, according to the EPA standard test.

For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 225 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 58 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 30 minutes with an average charging speed of 98 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 1% to 45%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 109 kW, with each charging session taking about 17 minutes and 53 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 16 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 10 minutes, needing three charging stops from 1% to 45%, totaling 51 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 6 hours and 19 minutes with a standard home setup.

Charge Port

The charge port is at the left rear corner, making it easy to back into charging stations.

The connector types vary between different markets. This model uses NACS for North America and CCS Combo 2 for Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
