0-100% Supercharging Test With My 2018 Tesla Model 3 Long Range

In this video, you join Matthew as he conducts a 0-100% Supercharging test on his 2018 Tesla Model 3 Long Range. Watch to see how the charging process unfolds, gain insights into supercharging efficiency, and discover the total time and cost involved.

Been road-tripping in Teslas for 7 years. Michigan to Florida, Michigan to Kentucky, Michigan to Tennessee, Michigan to South Dakota. You really and rarely need to charge beyond 80 percent. Use the onboard destination navigation and it will automatically guide you with no worries.

Enjoyed your video very much! Great to see a 6 year old Model 3 in such excellent shape - battery and overall condition. Bodes well for my 2023 RWD Model 3.

Thank you for doing this, Matthew! Now I know, and I don't have to do this on my 2019!

I will say that you def want to be at 20% or just a little under. I charged at a SC from 6% up to 72%. Spent $17.28. Charged up again at 19% went up to 87% spent the same amount of money.

A REAL CUTIE.
WHEAT-GRASS ALWAYS TASTES NASTY...BUT IT'S GOOD FOR YOU.

I'm sure this is widely known but can you clarify in videos that LR and Performance suggest the 80 or 90% daily charging. Standard is 100% daily charging

[mr.orange]

Please do make the video about v12. I'm very curious to see how it performs

[GOVAUS]

This would hardly happen in real life. Charge 10-15 to 60-70 percent and move along. People need to urinate.

Howdy neighbor, Goldsboro here,

Was curious, if you were eligible for the tax credit for I believe $4, 000? If so, how was that process? Also if I may ask, how was it finding a company to install the home charger, that's one of the things that plagues my mind on getting a Tesla, and the last thing.. I saw there are NO incentives for our state, NC. Instead, we are penalized $180 annually for the registration. Has that been bothersome? Also so curious about insurance... anyway, just some things I've had on my mind, been really thinking of getting a Tesla lately. Apologies for the wall of text/questions, just thought I'd pick at the brain some lol.


PS. Awesome videos!

Just subscribed. Looking forward to more content.

Can you make more videos about 2018 FSD?

Thanks for the video Matthew. I've had a 2019 RWD Model 3 Standard range for about 18 months and had always thought it should have had a 150 kW max charge rate because of its smaller 55 kWh battery, but this summer I've frequently seen 174 kW and even 177 kW on Version 3 Superchargers. There must have been an update that has raised the maximum charge rate.

I'd like to repeat the test you did but from the more common low SOC I get on a road trip of around 5% to 95%, but what did you do to capture the data and display the graphs that way?

[TryThinkingDeeper]

hey! im thinking of upgrading the FSD computer in my 2019 Model 3. Have you noticed any other benefits to upgrading the computer? Like does the UI work any smoother? Or do the visualizations work better? My current HW2.5 struggles with visualizing the cars near me, they often float around. Does HW3 fix that at all? Thanks!!

Did he really just say he wanted organic water? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[AnthonyKleanz]

What’s your battery degradation currently sitting on ? I drive a lot… (hiking) and I mainly super charge and noticed that my 2018 54k model 3 long range has a battery degradation of 7.7%.

[Wavyslim]

Only thing I don’t like about super charging stations is that they don’t have protection against the rain like traditional gas stations with roofs

[dchubworldsharenetwork]

It's good that you had AC on - real life.

I'm going to buy a car and then I'll have the AC Off because.... yeah 😂

[TheCodyHertzberg]

I have a great appreciation for Tesla and their impressive technology. However, in the video you waited an hour to charge your Tesla, paying $27.93, and received only a 283-mile range. In comparison, I typically spend between $30 and $40 to fill up my gas-powered car, which provides nearly 500 miles of range.
To clarify, my vehicle is not a Prius. Given these figures, I am finding it difficult to see the practical advantages of an electric vehicle over a traditional combustion engine. While I understand that Teslas are known for their speed and advanced features, I prioritize practical benefits over performance, as I am not engaging in high-speed driving.

Nice but what's organic water? Lol
