Frequently asked questions

Tesla Model 3 Performance: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

How much does the Model 3 Performance cost to run?#

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?#

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
