Wow. THIS is what I call a good, useful and very well made video. Congrats to you Kim and your husband (which I think is the magic behind the lens and on the video editing part) for sharing this! I’m a big fan.
Informative, concise, and helpful to those new to the family. Good work!!!
Great job. Love these types of videos. Educational info is captivating. Keep it coming. Thanks Kim.
Great video as usual! Really appreciated you using metric units for temperature at 2:39. Would really like it if you could continue adding in the metric conversions wherever possible. I had to pause the video to look up the conversion for average wh/km for my model 3 (its 149 for anyone wondering). Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Nice content today!
At the time the Model 3‘s arrives here in Germany. I‘m super exicted to testdrive one! 😍😍
You are so knowledgeable on this stuff. Thank you!
I’m learning so much just by listening to your videos on how we can enjoy our new Model 3.
I wish we had tesla dealer at our country! I love tesla brand mire and more after watching your super informative videos!
So professional and straight to the point ! 💕💓
You answered so many of my questions today. Thanks a bunch. Keep up the good work. Cio.
Great info thx 4 sharing!
Wow great video and info! The editing is awesome.
This was actually a really good video. Really good. Numbers and charts were great
Nice efficiency tips, thanks Kim!
Excellent informative video! Thank you!😊
Very interesting Kim. Didn't realize wheel size made so much difference.
Actually didn't know most of those facts. Thanks
GREAT INFO..... Thx for sharing
I have been waiting for a video on exactly this subject. Well done.
Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off the heat or AC but still have the fan on for ventilation?
Great video! Pls keep up the good work!
thanks for the tips Kim!
Thank you. Excellent video!
Great informative content
Kim, I like your little graph, but, Do you have one that offer MPH vs, speed? I am always trying to find the "right" speed vs MPH in my model S, or 3, or X, and 75 seems to be max for MPH. Anything over seems to suck charge.(gas)
Wow, thanks for useful information. If I use 1/4th of what you mentioned it would do wonders. My best.
Always great info. Thank you Kim and guy behind the camera
Where are you getting the data for that temperate/range chart?
Another great video you guys! Thank you
Thank you!
Great Video! Kim, we just got a Model 3 LR RWD! What an awesome car. Couldn't be happier! We ordered a Model 3 in Nov. but cancelled due to fears of build quality. We found this one with 9000 miles in pristine condition. Saved us a ton of money and the build quality is top notch. Keep up the good work.
Love the simplicity, presentation & clarity of the video. Very interesting. Timely reminder to E.V. & ICE drivers alike about importance of correct tyre pressure.
I would like her tapping with my joystick
@@ceroandone Could you manage to be any more offensive and disgusting if you tried?👎👎👎👎
@@pinkelephants1421 you are Beta 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
@@ceroandone Meaningless, nonsensical comment.
Good content Kim!!
I like the smaller wheel rims for comfort and curb protection but not a fan of the removable 1970 wheel trim model 3 with or without the wheel cover.
hi Kim. nice vid. liked b4 watching b/c i knew it was going to be good
Another great video, thanks! I could be wrong, but I think range mode limits the battery warming, thus limited regen. I feel like in the extreme cold weather (0 to 20 F) we've had recently, my wh/mile has been better when not in range mode, even though that sounds backwards. Would be interested in other's experiences.
Anyone have data on how much adding mud flaps affects the MPG or aerodynamics of a vehicle? I don't have a Tesla, but I have a Pacifica Hybrid which we drive a good 75% on pure battery.
Nice vid. Do u remember when Tesla had the range slider and the outside temp? When it was 90+ f outside the range was highest from what I remember.
Great video. However I live in Arizona where we don't worry about cold weather because it doesn't get that cold. Our concern is heat. In the summer it's typically over 100° Fahrenheit. I think that's around 40° Celsius. However this month we have temperatures up to 115 degrees Fahrenheit.Some Summers we have temperatures 5 to 10 degrees. Do you have an efficiency chart for temperatures in these ranges?
Great job Kim! I'm amazed by how many people don't check their tire pressure.
Thanks for the great videos! Just curious on the chart at 5:10...Looks like maximum range on the red line is at ~35 mph (not 27 mph) and at > 68 F. (not 60 F).
Thanks! The data comes from independent tests on both speed and temperature. See Sean Mitchell’s channel (record holder for Tesla hypermiling) as well Ben Sullins data guru for supporting speed and temp data.
Very informational! I am moving to an EV possibly Model 3 or BMW i3. The efficiency is of the charts with EV in comparison to ICE cars. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Tesla!
Where do you guys live in ATL area?
More Model 3 vids please (:
Got my tires back into the correct psi and went from 330 whm to 280 whm highway thank you
Can you run your tesla to -%? some say they drove about 20 miles under 0%....
Related to importance of maintaining properly inflated tires, wondering if you use a mini air compressor at home to keep your Tesla tires properly inflated? And, if so what model/make ?
Thanks for the video!
Yes. We love this! amzn.to/2tlJUWv
Both Classic and Classy, inclusively.
// Critically valued informational topic. Thank you, and then some.
Hey guys. Keep up the great work. Love your vids.
I realize you edit your work, but your speaking skills are great. Good work, and thanks for another great video.👏👏👏👍👍
Thank you Marc!
Do you really think she gathers all that data? She's there to give this channel a face and make money.
Have you made that graph yourself, it says 60 is 5% less efficient, som that s not the ideal temp.
Summary. Drive when it’s 16c at 27mph for best results.
Luyen Dao the graph suggests around 37mph not 27?
She says 27mph but yeah chart shows 37mph
Another great vid that is easy on the eyes with good graphics. Two minor nits if I may... MX is about 5500 lbs empty, GVWR is about 7000. Also on the temp chart at, best range occurs at 35 mph per the graph, not 27 mph as stated. and, "A plugged in Tesla is a happy Tesla!"
I wonder if most viewers and owners have stopped to ponder the effect of air density at differing temperatures? I see a 4% difference in Rho between 15 deg C and 25 deg C. This might actually indicate greater vehicle efficiencies above the peak battery temperature efficiency of 15 deg C...
The 27 mph stat is coming from real world tests by our friend Sean Mitchell who has set some hyper-mile records and tested it to be around or just below 30 mph. I know that chart shows it slightly higher, should’ve clarified. Thanks for watching!
ruclips.net/video/MxlRyCYZy6E/видео.html
Thank you for this educational EV/Tesla video Kim.
What about efficiency above 60 deg Fahrenheit?
All good tips for Tesla newbies! It reminded me to check my tires' PSI again. It also made me glad that I have… a garage! Methinks that, when L&L are older and both in school, you should apply for a job with Tesla in Atlanta. You're more knowledgeable than many of their current employees!
great ideas
I also noticed when taking long trips, if I lower the suspension in my model X to the lowest height I gain more miles. I think it reduces drag being closer to the ground.
Yes, lowering the suspension reduces underside- and wheel well turbulence and reduces frontal area. Has been known in racing for a century.
very nice video
very very very informative and insightful video.
It would be great if you could do a video comparing the differences between the pre release model 3, and your delivered model 3 noting all of the small design differences that would be buyers wouldn't know.
The effect of aerodynamic drag increases as the cube of velocity, not the square. Twice is fast is not 4 times more drag, but 8 times.
Avoiding higher speeds is more efficient, even for a car with the lowest drag coefficient of any current production car: the Model 3. Model S and X also have very low drag for their types of vehicle.
Mmmm not really. The sum of the aerodynamic drag forces increases as the square of the speed The power needed to overcome said force is to the third power. Drag = Cd*0.5*Rho*V^2
our verbiage was directly from a Tesla exec on aerodynamic efficiency
@@ItsKimJava Drag goes up as the square of speed, but the power needed to overcome the drag goes up as the cube because twice as much air as is encountered when going twice as fast, for example. The net result is a cube law. physics.info/drag/ "Thus, if drag is proportional to the square of speed, then the power needed to overcome that drag is proportional to the cube of speed (P ∝ v3)."
@@aerodyneservices Yes, the power needed to overcome drag is the third power (cube) of the velocity. The drag goes up as the square of velocity, but due to the higher velocity more air is encountered at the higher velocity (and higher drag), which is why the power needed to overcome drag is a cube law and not a square law.
Thanks for the information. We on a daily don't think about drag resistance.
My battery drain was somewhere between 1.3-1.5 miles/hr, the worst was 2.2 miles/hr.
It’s unfortunate once the car reaches your set charge limit, it doesn’t immediately start charging once the battery starts to drain.
Loving the videos keep it up!!
your blog appeals to the smart Tesla Driver. Thank you.
So what is the recommended percentage to charge your model 3 to every night? I think you said 90%?
Nice, informative video and great production quality. Thumbs up!
KIM, WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO PUT A TRAILER HITCH ON YOUR MODEL X?
Planning on it
Great, Tesla vehicles come with so many great features to satisfy people that own Elon's great creation.
I've seen some statistics that the mid range Model 3 with rear wheel drive is more efficient than the long range. It obviously had less range but the lower weight supposedly made it more efficiency, but I don't know all of factors that went into making that determination.
Alan James Obviously less weight is good. Also the RWD is more efficient than the AWD.
I read somewhere that Tesla's hidden battery range is build in so the car can deliver the advertised battery range when the vehicle is 10 years old. This way they can unlock some extra battery range as the life shortens. I also seen an article stating this hidden range was temperary unlocked for the cars near the California camp fire during the fire. (Please correct me if I am wrong)
mostly not true. what is true applied only to Model S that had software locks on older battery packs.
Excellent video once again. Although you touched on it briefly, I have a question regarding range mode. In a Tesla do you see an increase in range when using range mode? I drive a '14 i3 BEV with an EPA rated range of 81 miles but I have seen as much as 103 miles when using the Eco+ mode. Of course the amount of extra range varies depending on the weather (temperature and amount/type of precipitation) and how I treat the accelerator pedal, but I consistently get more than the rated range when using the most conservative driving mode. Thanks.
Very interesting especially in the light of some of the less than helpful information coming from some Tesla haters about loss of range due to the cold. I note that those panicking over range loss due to cold should look at some videos from those Tesla owners living in very cold areas of Europe such a Byorn Nyland. Clearly people need to bear in mind that ICE cars can have a number of issues in subfreezing temperatures which Tesla cannot have ! Your hints on warming seats and keeping the vehicle plugged in (where possible) should readily help to improve peoples results as regards performance and comfort in the cold. Tesla outperforms many ICE cars in negotiating snow covered sloping roads in traditionally cold countries such as Norway. Tesla's smart traction systems help a lot too.. So down with misinformation and up with quality well informed reviews, such as this ! Not to mention the skills and charm of the presenter... no not .. not mentioning it... :-) ....
Wonder why M3 does not have range mode? When I’m a little worried about not making it to SC, I make my own version. Turn on chill mode. Turn off heat, dress warm, only turn it on for a few seconds to clear fogginess on windshield. Turn off the footwell lights. And finally the biggest one, I find a big rig going the speed limit and get behind them, set autopilot following distance to 1 and enjoy the ride.
I did the same, but my ride was ruined when after several hundred miles behind big rig, picked up a whole bunch of rock chips...
What is the normal PSI for a Tesla Model 3?
45
@@ItsKimJava Cool Thanks . BTW does Nitrogen used as air help too?
Not sure it makes a difference in efficiency but perhaps indirectly by not deflating as regularly.
No captions D:
4:13 that shot.... sooooo cute
Kim, your video was very informative, especially concerning how cold temperatures affect range. Here in Miami, our concerns are more related to how higher temperatures (70-100F) affect range. Is there a similar chart for high temperatures?
Thanks David. I’ll investigate and report back if I find something for extreme heat.
Like Tesla Thanks Kim. After 9 months of owning my ‘3, I noticed that energy consumption dropped as temps went from the 90s to the 70s. I’m guessing less energy is being used to cool the battery and the cabin. Based on my casual observations, mid 60s seems to be the optimum temperature for highest efficiency of this vehicle.
So excited to join the EV family soon! Can't stop thinking about it ahhhhhh! :D
fun times, a new chapter in your life
What are you looking to get?
@@mexicanracer03 a Tesla model X which should be arriving in just under a month now
@@danwat1234 thanks :)
@@leonb5293 nice. I have a leaf then purchased a Model S nothing comes close in range and energy used. I will soon get rid of the leaf and buy another Tesla. It just makes sense.
Bruh I don’t even have a Tesla, why am I watching this
Where did you get the speed vs range chart for the model S? I would love one for the model 3.
@@cbenson513 I believe I have tried every link on that long page, but cannot locate the speed vs range chart, with the different temperature curves.
Great video, what is your source for the info presented a 2:51?
Fellow data geek / M3 owner in Illinois ran tests during recent cold spell and shared.
Great video. I can not believe 104 people thumb down.
Another great video. I really wish I could get a Tesla, but the used ones are still $80,000 and even the new Model 3 at $55,000 is way way out of my price range. i guess I'll just keep driving my V6 Mustang that was $27,000 brand spanking new. I only get about 27 MPGs or about 400 miles of range per tank of gas.
Half of these tips can be applied to any car electric or gas. Still very good tips though.
Also can you cite link all of the facts you stated?
Cutest RUclips nerd ever!
Thanks, Kim! Very informative video.
Very interesting and great editing. Also, I was wondering, if I were to buy a Tesla in the future could i ask Tesla to install the car charger in my garage
See the Tesla site under charging for recommendations. Both for both wall connector, and suitable outlet for the mobile connector that comes with the car. I charge at 4.8 miles per our on a std 120 Volt household NEMA 5-20 outlet. The charger is actually in the car.
No need to ask Tesla to do it, You can buy the charger online throught their store and have literally ANY electrician install it. Hell, I installed my own.
@@KiloDoubleMike +1. Also, the car comes with a mobile connector and adapter for 5-15 120v and 14-50 240v. So as long as you have an outlet 20 feet away, you can charge the moment you arrive home with your new ride.
Thanks for the info that’s really interesting that they sell it
No extra charge for the Mobile connector, comes with the car.
Adapters for other common outlets are available on the Tesla site under "Shop" and "charging"
But nice videos too btw
Good, solid information, guys. To put it in terms of lost efficiency, if you are running a 6 kW heater while driving 60 mph, you use an extra 100 watt hours per mile!
That's one way to save energy I know a few more
1. Remove weight get rid of seats and any extra weight inside the car
2. Unplug all lights
3. Turn screen brightness down
4. replace your cars parts for lighter carbon fibre ones
walking instead of driving for short trips would be ultimate weight savings
Keep up the great work! Love seeing such fun, informative videos! Your videos should be included in the owner's manual that new owners can watch while parked or supercharging! Heck, they should even be shown in Tesla showrooms too!
Just found ur channel , I been so tempted to get a Tesla 🤔
Do it, and since you do financial videos post realistic, non-FUD videos about Tesla. Not everything is great in Tesla's financials but some level-headed real analysis is needed.
On long trips I use chill mode and low regen. I do this because in autopilot I don’t like the quick acceleration when passing or deceleration when someone pulls into my lane and... I think it helps with consumption too.
Everyone of the new users on the Volt and Leaf owners pages on Facebook complain about the large drop in range when driving 80 MPH on the highway. I'll post a link to this video from now on.
Loving the pic for vid!!
Super great information.
very nice as always
im still sticking with my gas 4runner
Dang you are the efficiency guru! Thanks, great video as always.
Who cares about efficiency when the X 22" wheels and S 21" wheels look SO good and that much better than the smaller versions! 😉
The Model 3 needs Range Mode!
Chill mode may give more range. Also driving gently in general.
@@LoanwordEggcorn and it already have the best efficiency of any Tesla in production..
Not too sure about speed tbh. At least in ICE vehicles. As e.g. in my long trip to PA the other day in my gas powered car, with pretty much almost all of it highway driving (~75mph to 85mph), I got nearly 33mpg with a full tank range of about 475 miles (with a 15 year old car).
Normally I get around 27mpg in highways and around 22mpg in the city with full tank range around 360 miles. But driving at that speed and well really improved the mileage. I think HOW you drive also affects range a LOT. Along with using heater or not. With no heater (or periodic low use) or using just the fan and driving with smoother acceleration and braking and generally coasting a lot, I feel even the EVs will improve in performance a lot and give higher ranger and mpge (WHr/Mile)
fxp unlike ICE cars, EVs tend to have better stop start city mileage than higher speed highway mileage. Difference being no regen on constant highway speeds and wind resistance more influence at highway speeds.
@@kdkd693 Got it. So it seems like for highways EVs will do well provided you also drive perhaps a bit slower (maybe say 60-65mph) to reduce wind drag forces.
As an owner of both ICE and EV I'm enjoying both for now before self driving takes over and you can't drive cars ;)
Great video.
I love you
Timely discussion. Especially for those of us who are Polar Vortexees.
