How long does the 2022 Tesla Model 3 take to charge on Level 2 (240V)?

From 10% to full on a Level 2 charger supplying its 11.5 kW onboard maximum, the 2022 Tesla Model 3 (75 kWh battery) takes roughly 7 h 58 min — comfortably an overnight charge. Lower-powered home or public Level 2 units take proportionally longer.

How fast does the 2022 Tesla Model 3 DC fast charge?

The 2022 Tesla Model 3 accepts a peak of about 250 kW on DC fast charging. A 10–80% session at full acceptance takes roughly 14 min. Charging slows above 80%, and real-world speed also depends on battery temperature and the station's own rating.

How far can the 2022 Tesla Model 3 go on a charge?

The 2022 Tesla Model 3 has an EPA-rated range of 358 miles. Real-world range varies with speed, temperature, and load.

Review

The pre-Highland Model 3 (2017–2023) — the car that made Tesla a mass-market brand and the most influential EV of the decade. Pre-refresh, the interior had stalks, a less-refined ride, and physical steering wheel buttons. Range and powertrain were near-identical to the current car: 358 mi (LR AWD) and 250 kW peak DCFC. The pre-Highland is what most used Model 3s on the market are, and they make excellent buys: typical pricing has dropped to $20-28k for low-mileage examples. Battery degradation has held up well — most cars retain 90%+ of original capacity at 100k miles. Known weak points: panel gap quality varied year to year, and the standard suspension is firm. Software remains current via OTA updates regardless of model year.

What we like

Massive used inventory at attractive prices
Battery longevity is proven
Software stays current via OTA
Supercharger network access

Trade-offs

Pre-Highland panel gaps vary by build year
Firm ride quality
No fog lights on early years
