In this video, we compare how fast you can charge your Tesla when the battery is properly preheated versus when you plug in with a cold battery. For this test, we put the RWD Model Y up against a single-motor 2024 Model 3 Highland at a 200 kW charging station to see which one reaches from 10% to 80% SOC faster.
Both vehicles are equipped with similar battery packs, with one key difference: the Model 3 Highland’s battery was preheated to 40°C, while the Model Y’s battery remained cold before plugging in.
Throughout the session, we monitored charging speeds and battery temperatures using our advanced instrument cluster, the S3XY Dash.
And you can win one for FREE by participating in our giveaway. Here’s how:

2. Go to the comments section of our last video and write “Dash,” “Strip,” or “Buttons,” along with your Tesla model, to enter for a chance to be one of three lucky winners.
