The 2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD is the longest-range Model 3 version ever offer, with a WLTP rating of 614 km (382 miles).

This new version is supposedly equipped with an 82 kWh battery (Panasonic cells), which is a few percent more than in the previous version, and a heat pump to improve efficiency in colder weather.

In the latest Bjørn Nyland test, the conditions were perfect, with almost no wind, which in theory should allow achieving the WLTP range rating. However, it didn't.

At 90 km/h (56 mph) the result was about 563 km (350 miles) which is 8.3% below WLTP. Bjørn Nyland explains that a few kWh of battery capacity were still available "below 0% SOC", but he hasn't tested to to a dead stop.

At a higher speed of 120 km/h (75 mph), the range dropped 25% to 422 km (262 miles) - still a strong outcome.
