I recently switched to 18” T Sportline wheels and Michelin PS4S tires for my 2022 Model 3 Performance. In real world scenarios I am seeing 23 Wh/mi better efficiency. However, in hypermiling scenarios it is actually pretty similar. I can get around 164 Wh/mi with both when trying my hardest. I get about 227 Wh/mi with the smaller wheels in real world scenarios and about 250 Wh/mi with the 20” UberHeavy wheels otherwise. However, our speed limits are limited to 60 mph where I drive most often so that helps too.

I actually reset it myself. I did too many trips to the Dragstrip so the efficiency wasn’t realistic.Who's in the doghouse for re-setting the "Lifetime Do Not Delete" odometer reading 1,300 miles into ownership?
Yes, might even be a little better due to spoiler.Does the Model 3 Performance have the same efficiency as the Model 3 LR when using the same tire setup?
Questionable. The spoiler probably adds drag. That is what spoilers usually do. Increased drag in exchange for more downforce. TANSTAAFLYes, might even be a little better due to spoiler.
Wings usually add drag, spoilers usually reduce it. This of course depends on the wing and or spoiler being actually engineered aerodynamic decices rather than aesthetic though and I have no idea which is the case here. It certainly looks like it would be drag reducing to my only slightly trained eye but that certainly isn’t reliable!Questionable. The spoiler probably adds drag. That is what spoilers usually do.

With the lengths that Tesla goes to improve efficiency and range, I'm sure that if that spoiler actually reduced drag it would be standard equipment on all models. "Aero" wheel covers anyone?Wings usually add drag, spoilers usually reduce it.

I would be impressed if that flat spoiler actually adds any significant downforce if any at all.With the lengths that Tesla goes to improve efficiency and range, I'm sure that if that spoiler actually reduced drag it would be standard equipment on all models. "Aero" wheel covers anyone?
It is on the performance model for my previously stated reason. To increase downforce. Many people track their M3Ps.
It is on the Performance Model 3 exclusively for looks just like the 20" UberHeavy wheels and ridiculously stretched Pirelli tires. All of those things reduce performance but have a perceived "Better look". That is why they are on there.With the lengths that Tesla goes to improve efficiency and range, I'm sure that if that spoiler actually reduced drag it would be standard equipment on all models.

A distinction without a difference.You can increase downforce and reduce drag at the same time with spoilers. Now for the pedantic, the M3 isn't going to have any downforce at all, the spoiler is just reducing upforce really. At best.
Any wing adds downforce at least equal to the weight of the said wing.I would be impressed if that flat spoiler actually adds any significant downforce if any at all.
Define "too many".I actually reset it myself. I did too many trips to the Dragstrip so the efficiency wasn’t realistic.
