Model 3 long range range based on wheel size. Not available online

[grey1988]

Does anyone know what the range is for the 2023 Model 3 Long range based on wheel size I know 18" wheels is 358 but what is 19" and 20". Can't find info online because the vehicle is not available. I know it's between 334 and 358 but trying to decide per wheel size. Thanks

rated range is unrelated to tiresize.

18" without aeros you lose maybe 4% range
19" you lose maybe 10% range
20" 15% range loss.

I have 2022 lr and fully charged shows 328 range with 19" after 18k miles

The displayed range on the 2022 should not change with wheel size. That has so far only been a thing with the 2020.

So you are at 328 rather than the 358 you started with, which is 8% less, and within the normal range. Though it will bounce around and you might be doing better than the estimate says.

Regarding 2023 estimates, they are (or at least they have been) available on the Tesla website when you select a different wheel size. However, unless it says “EPA est.” then it will not display as such in the car.

Ok thanks for the for input. Just can't change wheel size on a long range because it's not available to purchase. So from 358 to 328 in 18k miles. I hope it settles from here.

the 2020.

Clarification:
The 2020 Performance (also not a thing for 2020 LR).

My 2020 Performance indicates now around 280 miles at 100% while on 18" wheels (calculation by me, I usually do not charge to 100%).
Next time I'm in the car I'll switch the computer to the 20" and see what happens to the rated range, I am indeed curious!

It should be 260rmi20 at 100% if it is actually 280rmi18 at 100%.

It’s all the same range of course.

That would mean a loss of rated range of 50 miles within 3 years, which would be awful!

EDIT: to clarify, the car started with 499km / 310mi when new, I can't seem to remember if the car was already set on 18s or still on 20s.
The website and my order confirmation boasted a 530km / 330mi range on 20, which is ironic.

No it did not. There may have been a brief period but that is neither here nor there. It started at 299 on 20” even if it started with 310 with the first old software (which would be the case if you bought it in 2019).

The starting point for 20” is 299.

You are probably right, I edited the post again while you were writing your message!
I wrote in the Notes app on my phone that the car showed 499km / 310mi at 100% back in April 2020. I could have been still on the 18" winter set!

Yeah would make sense.

In the end the miles don’t directly matter. You started with 78kWh and it is easy to calculate from the sticky where you stand now. That ratio will match the ratio of current to starting miles.
