That's because of the high air resistance that Model X have. Model X 90D have 90 mpg city and 94 mpg highway. Model S on the other hand have 95 mpg city and 106 mpg highway. If Tesla have made sure that Model 3 have really low air resistance it should have longer range on highway according to EPA.
yeah at high speeds the cd becomes more and more important. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Model 3 75kwh gets a similar range at high speeds (160kmh+) like 85kw Model S. My old 3 series (petrol) uses like 7-8L/100km cruising at 120-130kmh and probably around 10-11L/100km crusing at 200kmh. My dads 5 series wagon (diesel) uses ~4-5L/100km crusing at 130kmh and then like 13-14L/100km at 200kmh.
