Efficiency - LR vs AWD vs P

[Bennny]

Is there any data on energy consumption of each, assuming same wheels/tyres and driving conditions?

Presumably the LR RWD is the best given lighter weight, with AWD and P being similar?

Tesla advertises the same range for each, but I can’t see that happening in real world conditions.

They all same the same range, but show 130 MPGe for LR RWD and 116 MPGe for LR AWD and LR AWD/P.

Tesla asked that all models be officially published as 310 range even though some qualified for higher.

Here’s how Tesla played with EPA ratings to advertise all Model 3 versions with 310-mile range

Details are here.

Main thing to understand that given the same tires, the AWD and P3D will have the same efficiency which is roughly 5-10% worse than the RWD model.

When start changing tires, and removing aero caps you can get a lot of different variations with the Aero wheels with Caps being the best.
