However, applying the standard 0.7 correction factor for electric vehicles brings the real-world estimated range to approximately 293 miles, aligning with Tesla's previous claim of "close to 300 miles of range." The vehicle's efficiency is aided by its low curb weight of 3,113 pounds, making it the lightest electric vehicle currently on the U.S. market and roughly 700 pounds lighter than a base Tesla Model 3.
