That's interesting, this[1] press release says:

    400 km  (248 miles) using a Japaneses standard JC08.
    241 km  (150 miles) with EPA
    380 km  (236 miles) with NEDC

That's quite a range.

That's the same car, with three different range ratings based on different standards. The EPA one is the only one that bears and relation to real world performance.

I'm pretty sure you can't buy that version in the US.

I think those are for the same car, just using different standards for measuring range. Depends on which is most accurate. If the US measure for Tesla 3 is 300+ then it's probably apples to apples. But it would be interesting to see the same standard measurements for the model 3.

Correct. And the EPA tends to be most accurate. I've never hit NEDC numbers in any EV.

As I understand it, EPA is the only one of these three with any reputation for accuracy.
