Reducing Carbon Footprint Even Further Efficiency of a Prius, performance of a Porsche Improving Powertrain Efficiency Tesla vehicles are known to have the highest energy efficiency of any EV built to date. In the early days of Model S production, we were able to achieve energy efficiency of 3.1 EPA miles / kWh. Today, our most efficient Model 3 Standard Range Plus (SR+) achieves an EPA range of 5.1 miles / kWh, higher than any EV in production to date. Model Y all-wheel drive (AWD) achieves 4.2 EPA miles / kWh, which makes it the most efficient electric SUV produced to date. The gap between Tesla AWD vehicle efficiency continues to stand out compared to competitors in the same segment. While achieving the best-in-class energy efficiency, our AWD models can accelerate to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds (4.2s for Model Y) and reach a top speed of 145 mph (135 mph for Model Y). In isolation, high energy efficiency is already difficult to achieve, but getting both performance and efficiency is the tricky part. Tesla Robotaxis will be even more energy efficient The energy efficiency of Tesla vehicles will continue to improve over time as we continue to improve our technology and powertrain efficiency. It is also reasonable to assume that our high-mileage products, such as our future Tesla Robotaxis, will be designed for maximum energy efficiency as handling, acceleration and top speed become less relevant. This will minimize cost for our customers as well as reduce the carbon footprint per mile driven.
