How far can Tesla's Model 3 really go? On-road 測定s 明らかにする/漏らす the 'affordable' electric car 落ちるs short of its (人命などを)奪う,主張するd 範囲 by 90 MILES

  • Two variants of the 最新の Tesla Model 3 were 実験(する)d by 消費者 肩書を与える What Car?
  • The 入ること/参加(者)-spec £36,500 基準 範囲 加える has a (人命などを)奪う,主張するd 範囲 of 254 miles
  • Real-world 人物/姿/数字s 示唆する it will do just 196 miles on a fully-告発(する),告訴(する)/料金d 殴打/砲列
  • The most expensive Model 3 業績/成果 has an 公式の/役人 範囲 of 329 miles
  • What Car? said it 手段d the 運動ing distance between 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金s as 329 miles?

Tesla's Model 3 is arguably the most hotly 心配するd electric car yet.?

Not just because some 顧客s have had to wait (and in many 事例/患者s are still waiting) more than two years after 初めは placing their deposits, but also 予定 to the 約束s that it will be more usable than any modestly-定価つきの 殴打/砲列-力/強力にするd 競争相手 on sale.

However, new real-world 測定s have 明らかにする/漏らすd that the electric car - 定価つきの from £36,500 - fails to match the 運動ing distances 存在 advertised.

In fact, the most expensive variant it sells in the UK was 設立する to 落ちる 90 miles short of its '公式の/役人' 範囲.?

Range anxiety: Real world range measurements have found that the most expensive Tesla Model 3 (£49,140) falls 90 miles short of the claimed distance for a fully-charged battery

範囲 苦悩: Real world 範囲 測定s have 設立する that the most expensive Tesla Model 3 (£49,140) 落ちるs 90 miles short of the (人命などを)奪う,主張するd distance for a fully-告発(する),告訴(する)/料金d 殴打/砲列

消費者 car 肩書を与える What Car? has ran two ve rsions of the most affordable model in the American 会社/堅い's (n)艦隊/(a)素早い through its own controlled Real 範囲 実験(する).

These 測定s are used to 決定する what the actual 範囲s of electric cars are in normal 運動ing シナリオs, rather than 顧客s having to rely on the (人命などを)奪う,主張するd 人物/姿/数字s from 研究室/実験室 実験(する)s that tend not to be achievable in the real world.????

The first of the two models 実験(する)d was the 基準 範囲 加える.

This is the 入ること/参加(者)-spec 見解/翻訳/版 that can go from 無 to 60mph in 5.3 seconds, has a 最高の,を越す 速度(を上げる) of 140mph and costs £36,490. And its '公式の/役人' 範囲 is 引用するd as 254 miles.

公式の/役人 範囲s are the 人物/姿/数字s 達成するd during 世界的な Harmonised Light 乗り物 実験(する) 手続き (WLTP) cycles, which is the 手段 used for all 公式の/役人 miles per gallon stats in 従来の 乗り物s and 範囲s of electric-力/強力にするd cars.

However, the What Car? 実験(する) 設立する that the real-world 範囲 of a much lower 196 miles.

That's 58 miles shy of the (人命などを)奪う,主張するd distance between 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金s - almost a 4半期/4分の1 (23 per cent) いっそう少なく than the Tesla sales brochure will lead you to believe.

How What Car? 実験(する)s electric-car 範囲s?

At the start of the 実験(する) the car's 殴打/砲列 is fully 使い果たすd and then recharged 経由で a smart 非難する cable with a built-in メーター.

運動ing 測定s are taken at a 実験(する) 跡をつける so traffic 条件s don't 影響する/感情 the result, with the car に引き続いて a 大勝する that ふりをするs a mix of town, A-road and motorway 運動ing.

実験(する)ing is 行為/行うd with the lights on, 気候 支配(する)/統制する 始める,決める to 22 degrees and when the ambient 気温 is between 10 and 15 degrees.

Finally, the car is recharged using the smart cable so that the 量 of energy expended can be 手段d and the Real 範囲 extrapolated.

And the difference between (人命などを)奪う,主張するd and real-world 運動ing distance is even greater in the most expensive variant.

The Model 3 業績/成果, which is the priciest sold to UK 顧客s costing £49,140, is the quickest of Tesla's small saloon.

It can 攻撃する,衝突する 60mph from a 行き詰まり in just 3.2 seconds and 162mph flat out.???

A Tesla 広報担当者 told This is Money: 'These results are wrong and not reflective of the WLTP results 決定するd by European regulators 予定 to the fact that WhatCar? 行為/行うd an abridged 実験(する) without fully 使い果たすing the 乗り物's 殴打/砲列.?

'Using only a fraction of a car's total 範囲 and 試みる/企てるing to extrapolate that result as a proxy for its 十分な useable 範囲 is 簡単に incorrect.

'We also believe the 乗り物s 含むd in the 実験(する)s were not 実験(する)d under the same exact 条件s, which means the 実験(する) results cannot be 直接/まっすぐに compared.?

'True comparative results can only be 達成するd under lab 条件s, which is why 基準 実験(する) 手続きs like WLTP are used to 手段 and compare 乗り物 範囲.'

What Car? editor?Steven Huntingford 反駁するd Tesla's 発言/述べるs.?

'Unlike the 公式の/役人 WLTP 実験(する)s, which are carried out in a 研究室/実験室, What Car?'s Real 範囲 実験(する) 反映するs the way people 現実に 運動. But we've still put stringent methodologies in place to 確実にする that the results are 強健な,' he explained to us.

'One of the few remaining 関心s for people considering an electric car is that the 殴打/砲列 will run flat and leave them 立ち往生させるd, and we're not going to 打ち勝つ this by 存在 opaque about what's 現実主義の.

'The Model 3 is an excellent car in many 尊敬(する)・点s, but 予定 to the 制限s of WLTP you'll need to 運動 very caut iously to get 近づく its 公式の/役人 範囲.?

'We believe it's important that 見込みのある 買い手s know this going in so they can be sure the car is suitable for their needs.'

These are the 決定的な 統計(学) for the Tesla Model 3 基準 範囲 加える (left) and Model 3 業績/成果 (権利)

This is Money editor Simon Lambert recently spent a week with this 見解/翻訳/版 of the Model 3, 述べるing it as 'a 本気で good car and 証言 to what can be 達成するd with an electric 乗り物'.?

The 範囲 is longer than any other example in the line-up, too, によれば WLTP 人物/姿/数字s.

It's advertised to be able to go for 329 miles on a 十分な 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金 - which is the 同等(の) of travelling from London to Carlisle without having to stop to 補充する the 殴打/砲列s.

However, What Car?'s 測定 設立する the real 範囲 was just 239 miles.

That's 90 miles short of the (人命などを)奪う,主張するd 人物/姿/数字 and 27 per cent いっそう少なく than what 公式の/役人 stats 示唆するs.?

If you are planning a trip from London to Carlisle in one, it means you will have to stop すぐに after passing Wigan to plug the 乗り物 in, or else be 立ち往生させるd somewhere on the 味方する of the M6.

This is Money editor Simon Lambert has driven the Model 3 and described it as 'a seriously good car and testimony to what can be achieved with an electric vehicle'

Tesla UK told This is Money that the official range figures - based on WLTP tests - should only be used for comparative purposes

Tesla UK told This is Money that the 公式の/役人 範囲 人物/姿/数字s - based on WLTP 実験(する)s - should only be used for comparative 目的s

While these 人物/姿/数字s are 公正に/かなり disappointing - 特に for the handful of Britons who have already taken 配達/演説/出産 of their Model 3 - it isn't an anomaly when you compare it to the 残り/休憩(する) of the electric-car market.

As the (米)棚上げする/(英)提議する below shows, when What Car? has 実験(する)d 殴打/砲列-electric 乗り物s from other 製造業者s in the past, the 範囲 tends to 落ちる 井戸/弁護士席 short of (人命などを)奪う,主張するs.

For instance, the VW e-ゴルフ in the real world is 69 miles short of the 公式の/役人 人物/姿/数字.?

However, with a (人命などを)奪う,主張するd 範囲 of just 186 miles, it means it is 37 per cent away from the advertised distance 引用するd for a 十分な 殴打/砲列 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金.??

In fact, when you compare all the 実験(する) results for the real-world 測定s, the Model 3 still has a much longer 範囲 than many other plug-in models 実験(する)d.?
