“Tesla Model 3 Performance - Is 1,000 Miles In One Day Possible?

According to a study at UC Davis, the Tesla is capable of a max 350 miles on a charge. According to pod-point, getting a full charge from a FUa 3-pin plug at home will be 24 - 36 h. On a 3.6kW plug it’s 15 - 22 h, On a 7kW public location it’s 8 - 12 h. And on a 22kW it lowers it to 5 - 8 h. So if you are lucky enough to find the 22kW on the road, it will cost you two sittings to get charged to finish the trip. That can mean as little as 5 hours each one...10 hours total. This is the least time you can be credited with under perfect conditions.

If you can average 60 miles an hour, which you probably won’t, your actual driving time will be around 16.5 hours. Tack that on to the 10 hours of charging time after you start, and the total driving time will be around 26.5 hours on the road point to point, at best.
