Tesla has just announced the reintroduction of the Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) in the United States. This new variant of the extremely popular electric sedan offers a compelling combination of performance, range, features, and affordability. Starting at only $34,990 after applying the $7,500 federal tax credit, the Model 3 Long Range RWD stands out in Tesla’s line up as the most affordable new Tesla on the market.
Key Specifications
Range: The Model 3 Long Range RWD boasts an impressive EPA-estimated range of 363 miles on a full charge when equipped with 18″ Photon wheels. This makes it one of the longest-range electric vehicles currently available.
Performance: This model can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds and has a top speed of 125 mph. This performance ensures that the Model 3 Long Range RWD delivers a fun yet relaxing driving experience.
Charging and Efficiency
Tesla’s extensive Supercharger network enhances the Model 3’s appeal, allowing a 250kW max charge rate at a V3 Supercharger station. This is particularly advantageous for long-distance travel, making the Model 3 Long Range RWD the most practical choice for road trips.
Market Impact
The inclusion of the federal tax credit makes the Model 3 Long Range RWD even more attractive by significantly lowering its effective cost. This move is expected to boost sales, especially as the Model 3 competes with other electric vehicles in a rapidly growing market.
