When you mention charging speed, you forgot a key component which is the charging curve. The LFP has a lower peak speed, but an excellent curve because it can and will hold it's max or close to its max rate longer, and deeper into the battery pack compared to the other nmc type Tesla offers. This means that even though it's max charge speed is lower, it super charges at very similar rates(time/ battery percentage) to the others and can be better especially when talking about the upper half of battery charging, only thing is it will have less range because of the obviously smaller pack.
I had the 2021 Refresh Model 3 with 263 miles. With now 318 miles, the occasional road trip is even easier. Day to day, especially the UK, very little people would need more. But that’s where the long range rwd comes in!
same here, i usually need about 5-10% of the 60 KW battery capacity a day, where most of the % is drained due to the thirsty Sentry mode (usually about 5% in 9 hour shift).
It really is, for those that persistently do the long range or even do the winter mileage. This one is one they’ve been holding out for. Is it your first Tesla?
I have ordered a LR RWD. Not only for the range but mostly for the performance difference. You have very very briefly mentioned performance. Its not all about range. Buying an EV in 2025 that is slower than a 20 year old cheap BMW that can not even pay the deposit of this car is not acceptable in my book. Also for some reason the new red colour is much cheaper in LR RWD for PCH than all other models.
Ce n'est pas le cas. C'est juste que le site n'est pas à jour. Dans les informations ils ne listent que la version "longue autonomie" (AWD) et la Performance. Perso je suis plein de marde: j'ai commandé un Standard Range et ils m'ont donné un Long Range rwd au même prix quand le Standard Range a été cancellé...
Je suis au Canada j’ai acheté ma RWD Long Range et j’ai interieur premium avec le système de son avec subwoofers. Le tout m’a été confirmé par Tesla et je la reçois vendredi.
Yeah, it’s truly dependent on your requirements. The whole Model Y vs Model 3 argument is a different ball game 😂 Was price the determining factor for you in the end?
@@AdamWellinformed Buying before 31st Dec for the low interest and a referral code also do i really need a Model Y! and a bonus is that the model 3 is the highland with everything i need new :)
Apparently after 30000 miles the long range looses 6% and can only charge to 80% where as the standard range can charge to 100 % and matches the long range miles so if your only looking for mpg its not worth the extra 10000 s of pounds

RWD SR is the best value. You think you need more range, but in reality most of us don't. I own the new SR - I don't have range anxiety.

There was a proposed update to reduce sentry consumption expected at the start of the year. But it never appeared, hopefully it’s still scheduled!
Hoping to get mines very soon..so excited at 373 miles!! Total game changer

Iam from Canada and I ordered a TM3 RWD LR and it says "premium interior" with 17 speakers and dual subwoofers just like the AWD version.
Wait, what? Onto a winner there!
Not sure we get the premium interior in the UK 😢

I was planning on getting the model Y RWD LR but, Compared to the Model 3 RWD LR Highland 703km at a lower price for me it´s the right choice :)
703km?

Where are you getting a 436 mile range? Are you sure about that?
Yes. UK Tesla website
I think the actual range will be more like 360..which is still amazing!

where are you getting this info from? Thanks
Look on utube on model 3 performance range
