Tesla didn’t test the 20’s.The range is 310 for all the Model 3s so what is separate?

Who does not know that RWD is always more efficient then AWD?
And who doesn't know that performance tires are always less efficient than high mileage tires?

Yes, that was my point, performance wasn't separately rated by the EPA nor range estimated by Tesla aside from giving it the same range as the other models.

I already answered this as did the link. The EPA mileage results and eMPG figures are different for all three cars. Tesla opted to down rate the RWD model to 310 (from 334) to make all the LR models have the same rating, which they’re allowed to do.

You need to understand how EPA ratings work. Nobody's deceiving you or anything, 310 is EPA's rated range.
That isn't true, on the Model S the AWD cars are more efficient than the RWD cars were.
Its da heat. RWD 50% range loss in the cold worst case. Avg 30 percent range loss for winter.
Hi,
Is there anyone having issues with Performance range? After 1,000 miles driven and 10,000 driven RWD, I am not getting even 200 miles I guess... while they advertise 310 miles.
Cheers!

I get the EPA rated mileage, but temps here get into the 60s during the day, there is rarely rain, snow or ice, and I preheat the car for fifteen minutes while it's still plugged in. I've found that even gas cars get cruddy mileage in deep midwinter, headwinds, rain, cold parking, etc. Gas cars need engine block heaters, thinner oil, and other help. I'm not surprised that a Performance Model 3 gets cruddy mileage, too.
I would wager all (most) that loss is due to heat. Which there isn’t anything you can do about in an electric vehicle. They are too efficient to produce much waste heat like gas cars.Range impact on gas cars due to cold weather is about 10% MPG down to about 20F. On my Tesla in similar temps the range impact is more like 40% initially and over a longer duration drive it evens out to around 30%.
