Video Summary
Here is the requested summary:A comparison drive with a Volkswagen ID.7, two Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus, and a Volkswagen ID.3 Pro S was conducted.
The drive was about 220 km in one direction, ending at an Ionity charger.
The main objective was to compare the electricity consumption of the cars.
All the vehicles maintained the same speed, settings, and batteries were preheated.
All participants charged to 90% before beginning the drive.
The Volkswagen cars had 19-inch winter tires, while the Teslas had 18-inch tires.
The older Tesla has typical rims, while the new Tesla’s rims are more sporty.
During the comparison drive, all four cars drove on the highway at the same speed and autopilot was turned on in Tesla car.

The older Tesla had 179 Wh/km. The Volkswagen ID.7 average consumption was 190 Wh/km.
The newest Model 3 standard range Plus had the lowest consumption at 165 Wh/km.
Charging speeds were also compared. One of the Model 3’s charged with 90 kW at 32%, where the battery temperature was at 28 degrees.
The charging session resulted in 41.67 kWh charged, with 18.4 kWh/100km on average.
The cars needed battery temperatures higher than 35 degrees in order to improve charging rates.
The ID.3 charged at around 80 kW at 50%.
The VW ID7 charged at 117 kW and used 41.67 KWh.
Three of the cars were charging at the Aral Pulse with each vehicle finishing the journey.
