Driving 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. In addition
to driving habits, energy consumption
depends on environmental conditions (such
as exceptionally cold or hot weather and
driving on roads with steep hills). To achieve
maximum range:
• Slow down your driving and avoid
frequent and rapid acceleration. Consider
using Chill Mode (see
Controls on page
145 ) and Speed Assist (see Speed Assist
on page 143 ) 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 Model 3 and feeds surplus
energy back to the Battery (see
Regenerative Braking on page 78 ).
• Set Stopping Mode to HOLD to gain the
benefit of regenerative braking at low
driving speeds (see Stopping Mode on
page 79 ).
• Keep tires at the recommended inflation
pressures (see Tire Care and Maintenance
on page 201 ), ensure tire alignment is
within specification, and tires are rotated
when needed. Rotating tires will reduce
uneven tread wear, increasing your vehicle's
efficiency (see
Maintenance Schedule on
page 199 ).
• Lighten your load by removing any
unnecessary cargo.
• Fully raise all windows.
• Limit the use of resources such as
heating, lights, and air conditioning. Using
seat heaters to keep warm is more efficient
than heating the cabin using climate
controls.
• Precondition the vehicle while it is
plugged in to ensure the cabin is at a
comfortable temperature and windows are
defrosted (if needed) before your drive.
Use the mobile app to precondition your
vehicle by touching Climate > Turn On
Climate and customizing your preferences
(see Mobile App on page 186 ).
• Features such as Sentry Mode, Headlights
After Exit, and Cabin Overheat Protection
can impact range. Disable features that are
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.
The power meter on the touchscreen and the
Energy app (see Energy App on page 90 )
provides feedback on energy usage. With this
feedback, you can become familiar with how
driving habits and environmental conditions
impact how much energy Model 3 is using.
Factors Affecting Energy
Consumption
Several factors can affect your vehicle's rate
of energy consumption, including:
• 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 78 ).
• Customized settings: Energy is consumed
by accessories like lights, heating and
cooling, media player, Sentry Mode, etc.
• Short trips: 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
while climate controls are enabled.
• Temperature and weather conditions: In
colder weather, precondition the vehicle
before driving (see Cold Weather Best
Practices on page 104 ).
When parked, Model 3 consumes
approximately 1% of charge per day. In some
cases (and depending on your vehicle's
settings), consumption may be higher. To
reduce energy consumption, turn off settings
such as climate controls, Sentry Mode,
