 Model-3 AWD |
The curves are the function R(S) = R0tanh(S/tt)exp(-[S-Se]/te). These two curves for Model 3 were calculated approximately using a Model S/60-kWh (weight 4700-lbs) curve modified by:
However, it may be that the larger-format Panasonic 2170 batteries in the Model 3 will cause a different decaying exponential time constant than is the case for the Tesla Model S, which uses the smaller-format Panasonic 18650A batteries. An estimate of range vs speed for the TM3 AWD gives the 5 data points in the graph below:
The red curve for TM3LR range fitted to the data points is R(S) = 206.4tanh(S/21.80)exp(-[S-91.49]/52.27).
The blue curve for TM3S range fitted is calculate by R(TM3S) = R(TM3LR)*50/75.
Here is another estimate of range vs speed for Tesla Models S, 3 & X:
This curve compares the range the range-vs-speed curves for the Chevrolet Bolt EV to the two Tesla Model 3 curves:

Charging equipment that comes with the TM3:
Optional Tesla Wall Connector (~11.5-kW):
The Tesla CHAdeMO adapter is capable of being used with the TM3 (480-V DC, ~40-kW):
.
See http://teslapedia.org/model-s/tesla-driver/chademo-user-guide/.
TM3 will have a CSS charging port in Europe. The Superchargers there will have two cables, one the standard SC cable and one the CSS cable. Soon there will be available a CSS adapter for Models S and X. Does this imply that a CSS adapter for Model 3 will soon be available in the United States? That adapter would greatly increase fast-charging capability for Model 3 in the U.S.!

These curves are for the Long-Range RWD TM3 with a full battery. "Regardless of the state of charge...the torque remains the same until peak power,however,.the lower the battery charge is, the power caps off sooner."

You really cannot power off a Tesla. If you could, there would be no way to open the door from the outside. The difference in the power off methods is in how much of the car gets powered off and when.
The normal way to power off the car is to walk away from it carrying the paired phone. The car locks and the screen goes dark; however, there is still some power to the car. Sentry mode can keep working; you can receive software update notifications, and you can use your app to query the car’s cabin temperature and location. The similar way the car powers off is when you just sit in the driver’s seat for 15 minutes without doing anything.
If the car remains unoccupied for longer periods of time, like overnight, the car shuts down more systems to preserve the battery. Over time the car sleeps more and more deeply.
The manual power off procedure (Controls > Safety & Security > Power Off) basically puts the car in the deepest sleep state immediately, but the car still has power because the door locks, for example, work, and communication with the app works. The specific virtue of the manual Power Off procedure is that power is removed from various hardware components, and this is what can reset a problem. As far as I know, the manual power off is the same as the automatic power off after it’s been off for a long time.
For maximum power off, disable Dog Mode and Sentry Mode.
If all of the above fails to correct a problem, remove the cable from the negative 12V-battery terminal and then reattach it. That worked for the author when his Model 3 would not charge.
