Tesla M3 standard range, range?
Discussion
Evening,
I’ll be moving from a Kia E-Niro4+ to a Sept 21 MY model 3 SR+ around the time of the new year.
Currently in my Kia, I get a genuine 210 miles in winter of motorway mileage. I don’t scrimp on heating etc either. Am I likely to get this in the Tesla too? That’s sitting at 70-74mph as its average speed camera roads between Aberdeen - Glasgow / edinburgh. In summer this is 250 miles. According to the on board computer I do 3.5kw/h over my 18k miles in the last 18m.
Has anyone done a similar move? I can’t get the LR sadly, it’s SR or stick with the Kia.

Thanks for your input people, that’s really helpful. Is there a way I can find out if it has the newer LFP battery?
I’m just back a 300 mile trip, exactly 150 each way! Left the house with a full charge yesterday morning with an indicated 236m and arrived at my destination with 47m left. I did have the heating on all the way down.
Tonight on the way home I left with 228m and arrived home with 64 but I must have heating on for all of about 10m as it was much milder so I just used the heated seats.

Evening,
Brief update, collected the car on the days inbetween Christmas and new year. It was filthy, so I gave it a quick wash and I’ve covered about 50 miles pottering about town predominantly. Main takeaways are the battery doesn’t t seem to be as good as the Kia but the weather hasn’t been kind so the heating and all toys have been on. It’s a lot wider than I thought too, which has obviously caught the previous driver out as the alloys are very Kerbed.
My 4YO loves the panoramic roof but with the radio down, I can hear wind whistling over it at above 40th, is that normal?
Really just need to spend some more time in it, I’ve a trip to glasgow next week which will give me plenty of time to get properly acquainted on the motorway and test the range.
