Model 3 Battery Details

[smorgasbord]

Naw, the 27kWh/100mi figure is wall-to-wheel and includes charging losses with typical AC Level 2 charging. It’s useful for predicting charging costs but not battery capacity.

OK, so what is the actual battery capacity of Model 3 LR?

Seems to be around 75 usable 78-80 actual.

 

[Zoomit]

LR: 80.5 with 78.3 kWh usable
SR: 54.3 with 52.7 kWh usable

LR: 80.5 with 78.3 kWh usable
SR: 54.3 with 52.7 kWh usable

proof (in the second page of this thread):

23P and 25P info we knew form wk057 already, the real news is 31P in small pack, combining with info form EPA filling it means 80,5*31/46 = 54.25kWh or if we used 78270 Wh END-SOC small would be 52750 Wh

Q.E.D.

 

[R.S]

LR: 80.5 with 78.3 kWh usable
SR: 54.3 with 52.7 kWh usable

For comparison:

S60 ~61 kWh total capacity, ~58.5 kWh usable.

S85 ~81.5 kWh total capacity, ~77.5 kWh usable

Still can't help but look at that giant charge port area and think, what on Earth is Tesla doing with / planning for that?

That triangle in the bottom image corresponds to this already large cover. That graphic makes it clear that there's an even larger box underneath. Even makes it look like it's half empty.

They have to put two connectors in there for China. The pic below is a Model S. But I'd assume something similar for Model 3 in China.
