Model S 75 Loaner Car

[BobAbooey]

I have a loaner from Tesla, 2018 Model S and set the charge to 90% and got 227 miles of range. Does that sound about right? Im just wondring because my model 3 long range gets 277 at 90%.

yes that sounds about right

Thank you

I never got 227mi at 90%, the best I ever got was 219 at 90%. 247mi at 100%, I have 2017 MS 75, is your's 75D?

I have a 2013 rwd with the 75 kwh pack and i get 220 to 222 at 90%

I thought my model 3 had a 75 KWh battery in it that’s why I was a little confused when I charge to 90%

I have an S not a model 3. Which 3 do you have?

Many things affect range above and beyond the size of the battery. A VW Passat and a Ford F-150 each have 18 gallon fuel tanks but vastly different ranges when full.

I'm pretty sure we both know how fuel economy work with ice vehicles. I know how bevs work but the OP may not.

I have a 2014 P85+ and i charge 90% each day and i get 228 - 229.

there not going to be the same because of the motor used along with the overall weight of the car.

The M uses a induction motor, while the M3 uses a more efficient yet weaker Permanent Magnet motor.

Oh ok I get it, so my 3 is a 75 kWh battery but because of the weight and motor I get more range.

Exactly and different motors then S and X also.

Yeah, see, the Model 3 isn't a REAL Tesla, because it doesn't have an AC induction motor.... *runs*

J/K! I still wave at Model 3s!

Because it’s a loaner I can’t use the app, would you know if there is a way to warm the car with the fob?

Your 3 doesn’t have the same battery as the S either.

please elaborate for the OP

The cells in Model 3 are a different size than in Model S and Model X, which have cells known as “18 650” (18mm in diameter and 65mm long), while Model 3 has larger cells called “21 70” (21mm in diameter and 70mm long)”.

In addition to those differences, the Model 3 has considerably less aerodynamic drag — both a lower drag coefficient and smaller frontal area. This makes it more efficient at highway speeds and some of that is reflected in the EPA mileage used to rate range.

From what I've read a Model 3 tends to have a rated efficiency of about 240 Wh/mile. My Model S60 is about 300 Wh/mile, although some Model S versions are a bit better. That's a big difference when it comes to how much range one can get out of the same charge (energy, kWh) under the same driving conditions.

FWIW.

i dont think that really matters... unless you want to account for the weight differences both packs have.

a 75kwh battery from A will hold the same charge as a 75kwh battery from B.

Its the rate of discharge that the battery undergoes which determines range, which then you need to look at motor + mass, which are the 2 largest variables.

The M and X even have range differences all because the X is a more heavier car, despite having the same motor and batery.
