Polestar has a new electric car on the way, so you need to resort to independent studios to show us how far the Tesla Model 3 is going.
Sounds like a “eh?” kind of time since Polestar 2 still has its own estimated autonomy figures through the EPA, however, that hasn’t stopped the EV logo from showing us how the next electric car behaves in the real world.

On Thursday, Volvo Cars’ electric car department shared the effects of an independent autonomy exam conducted through FT Techno on its control in Fowlerville, Michigan. In addition to a popular Polestar 2 and one of the sedans supplied by Performance Group, FT Techno has invited a Jaguar I-Pace, an Audi E-Tron and the model 3 mentioned above, specifically a 3 Performance model.
Although all cars have far exceeded their EPA-estimated combined score, the study has shown that some cars do not work as well at top speeds. In this case, 70 mph around an oval track to mimic a road trip. With the air conditioning set to 72 degrees inside and the sunnier sky creating an 85-degree outside temperature, all cars ran until the batteries ran out with the regenerative brake off or switched to the less competitive fit.
While we have a tendency to measure the functioning of electric vehicles in general diversity, the usable diversity may, however, be more useful. Verification showed that the Audi E-Tron was actually the highest effective and achieved 92% of its EPA-estimated diversity. Without the EPA’s final estimates, Polestar took its 250-mile internal success estimate to the table and placed the moment on this verification, achieving 82% of the estimate. Jaguar I-Pace came in third with 80% of its estimate and Polestar 2 with Performance set it with 79% of its estimate. The Tesla Model 3? It ranked last with 75% of its estimated autonomy.
Now there’s a momentary way to look for that too. On the other hand, the Tesla Model 3 has gone further and traveled 234 miles before running out of steam. Here Polestar 2 falls to the position for the moment and traveled 205 miles. Behind them, the 2 with the Performance set covered 197 miles, the I-Pace covered 188 miles and the E-Tron covered 187 miles.
However, looking for how much each car has lost compared to its official ratings provides a more realistic picture. This is especially true for those driving longer distances than short trips away from the roads.
We’ve already done some testing with Polestar 2 so far, but we’re ahead of spending more time with the EV and, in fact, testing our own autonomy.
