About Tesla Model 3 RWD (2023-…)

Detailed Descriptions

The Tesla Model 3 RWD (2023-…) is an all-electric rear-wheel drive sedan. It came out in 2023 replacing the older Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus (2019-2021). Brand new, the car starts around $38,990.

The Tesla Model 3 RWD (2023-…) has a 60 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 284 mi on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 20.2 kWh per 100 miles (or 4.9 miles per kWh) — ranked №201 out of 695 electric vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Tesla Model 3 RWD (2023-…) achieves a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 5.8 seconds (placing it at №307 among 693 electric vehicles) and attains a maximum speed of 125 mph.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 208 kW (279 hp) and a torque of 310 lb-ft.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

The estimated real-world range for Tesla Model 3 RWD (2023-…) falls between 256–312 miles, ranking it №199 out of 693 electric vehicles. Several conditions can influence this range:

  • Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
  • Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
  • Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
  • Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
  • Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Tesla Model 3 RWD (2023-…) in the USA is equipped with a Tesla (NACS) charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 7.7 kW, which translates to roughly 34 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Tesla Model 3 RWD (2023-…) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 170 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use Green Cars Compare Charging Calculator.

How big is it? What are the dimensions (length, width, height)?

Tesla Model 3 RWD (2023-…) comes in the following dimensions:

  • Length: 185.8 in
  • Width: 82.2 in (including side mirrors) or 72.8 in (excluding side mirrors)
  • Height: 56.7 in
  • Wheelbase: 113.2 in (distance between the center of the front and rear wheels)
  • Curb weight: 3891 lbs (weight of the empty car, no people or cargo)
How much cargo space does it offer? Does it have a front trunk?

Behind the rear seats of the Tesla Model 3 RWD (2023-…), you'll find 21 cubic feet of storage space (ranked №195 out of 693 electric vehicles).

Folding down the rear seats expands the total cargo capacity to N/A cubic feet (ranked №N/A out of 693 electric vehicles).

Frunk capacity: The front trunk is called a "frunk", and it offers an additional 3.1 cubic feet for storing small items.

Is it suitable for towing? What is the maximum towing capacity?

The car isn’t officially rated for towing.
