There was wind from the south, a wet road, and it was still efficient. The "sexy button" preheated the battery to 40°C, improving charging speed to 173 kW. This model has the drag coefficient of 0.219. At Varberg, there are Tesla V4 supercharger stalls, which were added to the Tesla charging stations.

One con is the lack of stocks. Another con is the phantom brake, but there are many things that this Model 3 Highland has that require a lot of money on other models. A feature called “sexy button” can be used to preheat the battery.
In summary, this Model 3 has incredible performance and the range of Tesla electric vehicles is incredible.
