When will we see a 400 mile Model 3?

[HyperionMark]

Obviously pure speculation, but still fun to think about...

My stab in the dark would probably be sometime in 2024. Maybe 350ish by 2022.

Thought is that all vehicles will need some range increases when the CyberTruck comes out if actual prices/specs prove true.

once the model S is up to 450+ miles

They won't make the cheap car have similar specs as the expensive car.

Next gen batteries will likely go to Plaid S/X first, then Semi and Cybertruck who most need it

3/Y likely to be last to get it, how soon depends how quickly Tesla can scale their native production of batteries.

Hopefully it'll be in time for them to be available for my car's battery pack refurb.

Next year.

Model 3 can already go 400, under the right circumstances.

 

[Uncle Paul]

Soon

In the back of a cargo plane? Not sure you could even reach that off the side of cliff.

I've got some good news and some bad news. The bad news is I think the units of measure on your speedometer is mislabeled, that's kph not mph.

The good news, very good news really, is Tesla made a large shipping error, in your favour, when they sent you your Model 3.

Speed of 400mph???! What do you have, Model 3 Extended Range High Performance Plaid Ludicurious++?

Ya like charging twice!

Lowering driving speed does it. Rolling resistance is very low on a Model 3 and the drivetrain itself is extremely efficient. When you use the fact that air resistance is square of velocity to heavily lower that energy loss, and get somewhere close to overhead energy going into the various computer systems, servos, and such is equal to air resistance the range capability gets absurd.

Or send you this one...
