The Tesla Model S Plaid is the quickest production car ever made and can rocket from 0 to 60 mph in under 2 seconds in the right conditions. 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid (21" wheels): 300 Miles With the new, improved software, we were able to squeeze out 305.6 miles and handily beat the results of our previous two tests. In the two 70 mph range tests we previously performed on a base RDW Taycan, we achieved results of 293 and 297 miles.
2021 TESLA LONG RANGE SOFTWARE
We were offered a rear-wheel-drive base Taycan to repeat the 70 mph range test we performed twice last year, and see if the new software did indeed make the Taycan more efficient. We had the opportunity to be the first news outlet to drive a Porsche Taycan with the new 2023 software which, along with other improvements, increases the vehicle's driving range. 2023 Porsche Taycan RWD (93 kWh) With Software Update: 305 Miles Tesla may have also added a little more capacity to the 2021 Model 3s, although this vehicle didn't have the 82 kWh battery pack that is shipping with the newer 2021 vehicles. The additional 20 miles may be attributed to the fact that this vehicle had only about 5,000 miles on it and the vehicle we used last year had about 15,000 miles so it had lost more capacity. We finished up with the exact same driving efficiency (4.25 mi/kWh) as we did in our range test with the 2019 Model 3. It held the title until the Lucid Air came out and crushed it with a 500-mile achievement. The 2021 Model 3 was able to drive 20 more miles than our 2019 vehicle of the same spec did last year. 2021 Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor, Long Range: 310 MilesĪfter a brief stint where the Porsche Taycan RWD claimed the InsideEVs range crown, Telsa was back on top with the 2021 Model 3 covering 310 miles in our 70 mph range test. It finished up with a consumption rate of 3.1 miles per kWh and used 104.7 kWh, according to the in-car energy chart, during the test.
The electric Caddy outperformed its 312-mile combined EPA range rating by 5.8% and went 330 miles. We were able to get our hands on a three-week-old customer's RWD Lyriq to perform the InsideEVs 70 mph range test.
The Cadillac Lyriq is available with a single motor, rear-wheel drive layout, as well as a dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration. 2023 Cadillac Lyriq, Rear Wheel Drive: 330 miles If you get the 21" wheels, the EPA range drops to 305 miles, and with the 22" wheel option, it's 315 miles. The iX we had was fitted with 20" wheels, which has the longest EPA range rating. The iX finished up with an average consumption rating of 3.25 miles per kWh (19 kWh/100km) which is excellent for such a large, heavy SUV. All versions of the iX have a 111.5 kWh battery (total capacity) with 105.2 kWh being the usable capacity. It blew by the EPA combined range rating of 324 miles and kept going until the trip gauge read 345. The 2022 BMW iX xDrive50 performed exceptionally well in our 70 mph range test. That's very good considering the EQS is such a large and heavy sedan, and very few of the vehicles we've tested have done better than that.
However, we cruised past its EPA range rating for another 45 miles and finished up with 395 miles on the trip meter and our journey recorded an impressive consumption rate of 3.67 mi/kWh. The rear-wheel-drive version of the EQS (the AWD version is the EQS 580 4MATIC) has an EPA range rating of 350 miles and is one of the longest-range EVs available today. When we set out to do the range test for the Mercedes EQS 450+, we knew we were in for a long day, but it ended up being even longer than expected.
