Tesla constantly strives to improve its products. The company's cars regularly receive improvements that make them more modern and improve performance characteristics. Tesla recently announced an extended range for its 2021 electric vehicles, and now, the EPA has published MPGe (miles per gallon of gas equivalent) ratings showing the 2021 Model 3 is topping the regulator's electric car efficiency chart.
