This Tesla Model 3 Went Nearly 400 Miles In A Range Test, 30 More Than Its EPA Rating

• The Model 3 RWD covered 393 miles, beating its EPA rating by 30 miles.
• Its 4.61 mi/kWh result shows Tesla’s efficiency advantage is still real.
• The Model 3 still feels ahead of rivals because it gets the EV basics right.

The EPA number used to be the gold standard for EV range measurement since it was the closest to what it could do in real-world testing. But now it seems EVs are consistently surpassing their EPA number, and after the Mercedes-Benz CLA EV did it last week, it’s now the Tesla Model 3’s turn.
