Factors Affecting Energy
Consumption
While driving:
• Elevated driving speed.
• Environmental conditions such as cold or hot weather
and wind.
• Using climate controls to heat or cool the cabin.
• Uphill travel: Driving uphill requires more energy and
depletes range at a faster rate. However, driving
downhill allows your vehicle to regain a portion of its
expended energy through regenerative braking (see
Regenerative Braking on page 61 ).
• Short trips or stop-and-go traffic: It takes energy to
bring the cabin and Battery to a specified
temperature when starting the vehicle. You may see a
higher average consumption when the vehicle is used
for very short trips or in heavy traffic.
• Heavy cargo load.
• Windows rolled down.
• Wheels and tires not maintained.
• Customized settings or third-party accessories (roof
or trunk racks, third-party wheels).
While parked and not plugged in to a charger:
• Preconditioning the cabin or using climate controls.
• Summon.
• Vehicle infotainment and climate controls system.
• Sentry mode.
• Tesla or third-party mobile app requests.
Tips to Maximize Range
You can maximize your driving range using the same
driving habits you use to conserve fuel in a gasoline-
powered vehicle. To achieve maximum range:
• Slow down your driving and avoid frequent and rapid
acceleration. Consider using Chill Mode (touch
Controls > Pedals & Steering > Acceleration ) and
Speed Assist (see Speed Assist on page 116 ) to
assist in controlling your acceleration and speed.
• If safe to do so, modulate the accelerator pedal
instead of using the brake pedal when gradually
slowing down. Whenever Model 3 is moving and you
are not pressing the accelerator pedal, regenerative
braking slows down the vehicle and feeds surplus
energy back to the Battery (see Regenerative Braking
on page 61 ).
• Limit the use of resources such as heating and air
conditioning. Using seat and steering wheel heaters
(if equipped) to keep warm is more efficient than
heating the cabin using climate controls.
• With your vehicle plugged in, use the mobile app to
precondition your vehicle to ensure the cabin is at a
comfortable temperature and windows are defrosted
(if needed) before your drive by touching Climate >
On and customizing your preferences (see Mobile
App on page 156 ).
• Touch Schedule , available on both the charging and
climate control screens, to set a time when you want
your vehicle to be ready to drive (see
Scheduled
Charging and Scheduled Departure on page 165 ).
• Set Stopping Mode to Hold to gain the benefit of
regenerative braking at low driving speeds (see
Stopping Mode on page 61 ).
• Ensure the wheels are aligned to specification, the
tires are kept at the recommended inflation pressures
(see
Tire Care and Maintenance on page 169 ), and
are rotated when needed (see Maintenance on page
167 ).
• Install aero covers (if equipped) to reduce wind
resistance (see Removing and Installing Aero Covers
on page 171 ).
• Lighten your load by removing any unnecessary
cargo.
• Fully raise all windows.
• Features such as Sentry Mode and Cabin Overheat
Protection can impact range. Disable features when
not needed.
• To prevent an excessive amount of energy
consumption while the vehicle is idle, keep the
vehicle plugged in when not in use.
• Minimize the use of DC chargers (such as
Superchargers) for optimal Battery health.
It is normal for estimated range to decrease slightly over
the first few months before leveling off. Over time, you
may see a gradual, but natural, decrease in range at full
charge – this depends on factors such as Supercharging
regularly or the mileage and age of the Battery. Your
Model 3 will inform you in the unlikely event a hardware
issue is causing excessive Battery or range degradation.
The power meter on the touchscreen provides feedback
on energy usage.
You can also display the Energy app to view real-time
and projected energy usage (see Energy App on page
72 ). With this feedback, you can become familiar with
how driving habits and environmental conditions impact
how much energy Model 3 is using.
