Tesla has brought back the Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive variant, which starts at $42,490. However, due to the batteries in the Long Range model, it qualifies for the $7,500 federal EV rebate. This makes this new model the cheapest model in Tesla\u2019s lineup after the federal rebate that comes off at the point of sale.<\/p>\n
After the federal rebate, this model is $34,990, exactly $4,000 less than the standard RWD model with the smaller LFP battery.<\/p>\n
The Long Range RWD variant boasts a range of 363mi (vs 341mi for the AWD, and 272mi for the regular RWD), and a 0-60mph of 4.9sec (vs 4.2sec for the AWD). This makes the new Long Range RWD Model 3 Tesla\u2019s longest-range economic vehicle (Model 3 \/ Model Y). The Model S AWD boasts an impressive 402-mile EPA estimate.<\/p>\n
Other than the lack of a front motor for handling in rough or slippery terrain, or having a faster 0-60, the Long Range RWD is a fantastic option for most people.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s worth noting that only the Long Range AWD model can unlock\u00a0Tesla\u2019s Acceleration Boost, which increases power and reduces the vehicle\u2019s 0-60 times by about half a second.<\/p>\n
