>Kyle and Jordan charge up a new Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD and a new Hyundai IONIQ 6 Long Range RWD both equipped with their most aerodynamic wheel option to head out on a 70-mph highway range test
>Model 3: 384 miles / 4.8 mi/kWh IONIQ 6: 332 miles / 4.3 mi/kWh
Tesla claimed and estimated 363 EPA miles for the Model 3 LR RWD and Hyundai claimed 342 EPA miles on the Ioniq 6 SE RWD. These both cost just over $42,000 retail price without options and before any tax credits, if applicable – the Ioniq 6 does not qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit, but there can be other credits, and there are major lease offers available for it.
Remember, EPA changed some rules for EPA range ratings for 2024.

We got to crowd fund a new editing guy to cut his videos down to size by a factor of like 10. Great info, but man…

The Tesla is more reliable until Hyundai works out the electrical issues with their cars (source: it happened to me and another owner I personally know). They’ve done recalls, but they haven’t quite gotten their hands around it. Still, a very nice car otherwise.

The Tesla “Highland” is a fairly impressive iteration for Tesla, overall.

Good to see Tesla finally making their cars get advertised range. My Model 3 (SR) was fine but my god the range estimates were the biggest joke. 220 estimated range was actually _literally_ about 120 in the winter… In Texas. I know because my parents live 80 miles away and I couldn’t go there and back without charging. Abysmal to say the least.
I ended up later getting a Bolt and the range blew me away by comparison. Could easily make that same trip with tons of range to spare

This is a game changer for me personally and one of the reasons I want to upgrade my LFP 3. We routinely take 315 mile road trips to Seattle and being able to skip the supercharger on busy holiday weekends would be so nice.
I wonder what the LR RWD 3 is capable of in lower speed mixed driving. 410-420 miles??

Wish they would start these test early in the morning and finish them in daylight

After seeing the ioniq 6 get teased during the video, I feel like I’m the only one that sees V2L as a big mic drop. Especially with Helene and Milton going on, who cares about cloth seats when you can power fridges and medical equipment
That was my only comment after watching it. Impressive efficiency on both!

Tesla wins again. No surprise there.Dominating as always

Once again, the Model 3 is more efficient and has longer range.

The Ioniq is just too goofy for me. But it’s nice there’s quite a few people who like it! More EVs on the road is always a good thing.

I love this guys videos I just wish they were like an hour and a half shorter

4.8 m/w is insane.

Imagine the uproar and ridicule if Tesla fell short of the EPA estimate by 10 miles while Ioniq 6 exceeds EPA range by 20 miles.
Both cars perform well but 384 miles by Model 3 is astounding.

I really like my 21 sr+, this is a worthy upgrade.

I have the LR AWD M3 and Im not shocked at the results. I get similar or better results most of the time for my commutes (I only drive like 35 miles a day)
