The Best Model 3 Variant Is Back On Sale! Tesla Reintroduces Long Range RWD 

Out of Spec Dave is going to be going nuts after hearing this.

@17:30 80% daily charging with the LR RWD is more usable range than the LFP RWD. 80% daily charging on the DM LR is exactly the same usable range as the LFP RWD. This thing is going to be a sweet road tripper. Efficiency with fast charging

Wohoo! Francie strikes again with another great vid. She has become the most seen utuber on OOS group

Diggin' the intro's. Good info and perspective on new RWD LR.

I’d like to see someone do a comparison between the rwd and awd speakers. 9 vs 17

My state won't allow non in state sales or leasing (WI). I wish tesla would open a dealership on one of the Indian Casinos we have all over the state.

I have a 2018 Long range rear wheel drive. At the time it had premium interiors and sound system and rear wheel drive motor was the performance model spec rear drive unit. I'm wondering if the new long-range rear wheel drive is the same as the performance gen 4 rear wheel drive unit.

Great job Francie

In all the areas where RWD and LR AWD differ, where does LR RWD land? 170 kW or 250 kW? 32A or 48A? Speakers? Interior?

@ 0:48 Puerto Ricans are US citizens

But here in PR the $7500 is not available for buying, not sure if on lease side is available.

Whats the difference between long range awd and the long range rwd?

Why is the lease of this new model not on the website?

I have been waiting for years now for them to bring the RWD LR back. I finally got tired of waiting and just bought a used M3 LR AWD. I no more than complete the paper work yesterday on it and this drops. I have the worst timing imaginable. I am glad they are finally bringing this car back. RANGE and fast charging speeds are king in an EV. Not only when new but over time as degradation happens you will have more usable range in the sweet center of the battery pack. People fixate on the LFP 100% charge, but that only tells a very small part of the total story. I am am still happy as I don't want the car without the stalks anyway, but just a bummer to have waited so long and to have my timing be this bad. LOL

that ev6 lease deal is nuts

Does anyone know if this new variant is the 1) M3 RWD with a larger battery pack, or 2) the M3 long range without a front motor? Oh ... I guess Coleton just answered.

Do you quality for the full 7500 tax credit as long as you’re under the income limit for point of sale? Or just partial depending on income

Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste .. 🙏🏻 😊 ✌ ☮ ❤ 🕊

Is that one of Kyle’s hoodies??😮

Tesla lists a few less miles range for the LG packs, vs. Panasonic. If you look at inventory for cars that qualify for the tax credit vs. cars that don't Tesla lists the ranges for both.

I am curious if it has the premium interior and audio or the partial, like the standard rwd..

So unless you want LFP, no reason not to go for long range?

Here in Puerto Rico is needed those long range EVs, since charge infrastructure is poor, and the electric infrastructure is a crap.

Don't see a Lease option for the LR RWD trim,

Well 2nd time i've been bit by the tesla bug -- being a first purchases of a 2024 rwd, no tax credit (which we knew about). then they add the long range to the tax credit, and now this long range rwd model --- i feel sick to my stomach and this would have been the car i purchased. yes, i love the lfp battery, but for the road trip and premium sound this car is the car to get. So pissed

hat is going to be very popular if you don't need AWD. Like a race car driver out front who can manage his lead without stressing or overdriving his car aka the Cat and Mouse game, Tesla can probably do that better than any other EV manufacturer in the world. I bet they could announce the mythical $25K EV today if they had to. Elon can press the accelerator or cruise along as needed.

The $35,000 Tesla is here after all these years. Would be a good travel car.

Back in 2015 the dual motor Model 2 had 270 mile EPA rating, and single motor had 265 miles, both with the same "85" pack (actually 82 kWh gross). Back then the single motor was induction, and was a previous generation design, so it did not get the efficiency advantage of today's permanent magnet single motor Teslas. The dual motor cars were both induction, but a newer and more reliable design.

Tesla: pls buy the car pls buy the car, we added a New color, we gave you a long range rearwheeldrive, JUST BUY THE CAR MAN, WE DON‘T WANT TO ADD STALKS TO IT!!! They are gonna do EVERYTHING, including lowering prices, before they add stalks to it.

"The Best Model 3 Variant" - no its not. The RWDs have 9 x speakers & 1 x sub. I'd rather spend a lil more & get my 17 x speakers & 2 x sub in the AWD variant.

EV ownership is very complicated when you consider the financial costs. Significant depreciation affects the choice of buying or leasing a new car. Battery and other tech advances on the horizon come into play. Quality used options, no matter what the popular misinformation, have an incentive not to be left out. Getting through the next 2-3 years may seem like a lifetime to contemplate. Used under $25k with the $4k rebate may not be as exciting as new, it should be a serious consideration to mention when considering a first or even another ev. You should do the research to talk about it for your audience.

The $35,000 Tesla would be $27,500 after the tax credit. This is not a $35,000 Tesla.

Yikes. The Chevy Equinox is dead on arrival. With the frunk, im sure the model 3 has the exact same storage space. Unless you hate Tesla or Musk, no real reason not to get this deal. Just wish it was extended to us up north.

So let’s do some math. A veteran or their spouse get $1K discount from Tesla, then the 7500 discount and if you live in MA another 3K? Better if in CO. That’s a very low priced car.

Elmo is trying to run out the inventory. RWD in New England in the winter isn't so great. But I'm sure they will love this below the Mason-Dixon Line. Snap it up while you can before Elmo changes his mind ( again).

Tesla charge curves are trash. Perhaps we will see bad degradation in other brands in a few years, but for now it seems like a disadvantage.

Know this: if you want the best overall EV experience, you buy a Tesla. If you buy something else for some stupid reason, thats on you.
