Running the car until it stops moving is the best way to test the limits of an electric vehicle's range. The results of Motor.no's winter test were the same as those of the Model S: it is a long distance champion.

32 electric cars from several manufacturers were involved in the range test. Polestar, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and even some from China are included. Driving the vehicles until they were empty was part of the test. The Norwegian publication conducted a range test before.

The Model S set a record during the winter range test. The Model S ended its journey after driving just over 500 km, or about 16 miles, less than the WLTP range. According to the publication, no car has gone further in its summer road test than the Model 3. The all-electric sedan stopped after traveling 614 km.

The Model Y RWD traveled 449 kilometers before running out of battery, which was less than the WLTP range..
