The Ultra-Distance Efficiency King
How Tesla Maximized the Highland Refresh for Pure Range
When Tesla introduced the ‘Highland’ generation Model 3 Long Range RWD, the goal wasn’t blinding off-the-line acceleration. Instead, this trim is designed for maximum highway endurance. By dropping the front motor found in the standard Long Range model, Tesla slashed structural weight and eliminated parasitic mechanical drag, allowing the car to wring out every last mile of energy from its battery pack.
Sleek Aerodynamics Meet Refined Noise Insulation
The exterior silhouette benefits from a lower drag coefficient of 0.219, making it the most aerodynamic production Tesla to date. Inside, the cabin receives full 360-degree acoustic glass treatment to eliminate ambient road roar on long interstate cruises.
- The Total Output: The single rear permanent magnet synchronous motor produces 260 horsepower and 240 Nm of torque.
- High-Speed Charging infrastructure: The vehicle utilizes a 400-volt architecture capable of pulling up to 250 kW at V3 and V4 Superchargers, recovering up to 195 miles of range in roughly 15 minutes.
