Does the Tesla Model 3’s range decrease in Pakistan’s hot climate?

High temperatures can affect battery efficiency and overall range. In Pakistan, where summer temperatures often exceed 40°C, do Tesla Model 3 owners notice a significant reduction in driving range? How much energy is used by the air conditioning system, and does it impact the expected mileage compared to the car’s rated range?

Yes, high temperatures in Pakistan can reduce the Model 3’s effective range. The battery management system uses extra energy to cool the battery, and the car’s air conditioning consumes significant power in extreme heat. Owners often report 5–15% reduction in range during peak summer temperatures. Driving in direct sunlight without shade can further reduce efficiency. To mitigate this, parking in covered areas, pre-cooling the cabin while plugged in, and avoiding excessive AC use at high speeds can help maintain range.
