A new Tesla Model 3 Cannonball record fell in 45 hours and 37 minutes with zero human driving input thanks to the Model 3 range booster package.
The Record Run
Zack and his team covered 2,871 miles at an impressive 238 Wh per mile average. The entire trip ran on Tesla FSD with the car handling every charger stop autonomously. This marks another Tesla FSD Cannonball run that proves full self-driving can handle coast-to-coast travel without intervention.
Unplugged Performance Model 3 Upgrades
The car used an Unplugged Performance Model 3 equipped with the Model 3 range booster package for the Highland. Those Unplugged Performance wheels cut drag and boost efficiency while the added rear wing improves stability at speed. The combination delivered the efficiency needed for the record.
I cover these exact upgrades in more detail over at my post on the Unplugged Performance Model 3 range booster.
What This Means for Owners
The Model 3 Highland range boost from these parts shows real-world gains beyond track use. Owners chasing better efficiency or planning long trips now have proven hardware that also supports a Tesla FSD Cannonball run. The package turns the car into a more efficient cruiser without sacrificing the Highland's daily driving character.
Bottom Line
This record proves the Model 3 range booster package works when it matters most. If you're looking to squeeze more range and stability out of your Highland, the Unplugged Performance wheels and aero pieces are worth a close look. Check the upgrades here.
