I bought a TM3 LR single motor (rear only) last august here in France. It has an WLTP of 620 km and cost me €39,000. Last month I got an average of 10km per 1kwh . The car was previously only available to business customers. It has increased in value since purchased, as it is no longer qualifies for the 5k € bonus. Best car purchases I ever made.
I bought one also last year but it cost £46900 in the UK. Excellent car
@@adrianmonk68U.K. prices are a complete rip-off 😢
If a person or their spouse was or is a veteran they can also get the 7500 plus another 1000 off from Tesla. Live in Massachusetts you get an addition 3000 off. That math is amazing.
RWD LR needs to be made available globally, for M3 and MY.
Sam, it is not only the Model 3, but there is also a Long Range RWD Model Y (in USA). 320 miles of range.
Sounds like a great model, we tested the long range yesterday and apart from being faster not really much better than our 2022 rear wheel drive, but we also tested the performance and that was in another league not so much for the power but handling and smooth, the steering is so direct and the seats were amazing .
This new model is an excellent option for the current incentive stipulations. I luckily snagged a standard range RWD right at the end of 2023 when it still qualified for the $7500 tax credit, so it was a good deal for a commuter. Speed isn’t stellar and you don’t get the better stereo, but the LFP battery is a workhorse. It’s great for my 50k miles per year needs. It’s nice to see that Tesla is still able to pivot so quickly to match the market conditions.
We got a RWD 3 with LFP end of 2023 here in the US as well and love it, but this 370 mile range and 250kW charging would be nice for that price.
For longer range driving which we are doing more than expected since supercharging is so smooth, that fast 0% to 60% charging gives you longer legs than with 272 miles range (which is down to 268 after 21,000 miles according to the range estimator).
I really like LFP battery safety, and going to 100%, but 80% of 370 is 296 - that math looks good.
If LFP really lasts for double the cycles I guess we chose right, and we needed the car, but this is the first time I see a model 3 configuration I would have probably bought instead of our 272 mile range LFP.
I drive race cars - the 3 RWD LFP is plenty fast enough at 5.8 second 0-60, but a Plaid or M3P is obviously there if you don’t mind losing your license!
If you live somewhere that it snows, then it's definitely worth it for the AWD.
I live in Canada, and have always have a set of winter tires on dedicated wheels on fwd cars without problem.
I m from Finland. We managed with rwd:s but 4wd is far better in most situations on snow.
I live in Wisconsin and have always rotated to dedicated snow tires for my vehicles. My RWD Model 3 LFP has no issues driving in snow. Dedicated "3 Peak" snow tires make much more difference than AWD with all-season tries.
Not a no brainer at all imo. I have a standard RWD with LFP battery. This battery is more important to me than an extra 100km or so of range. I charge at home daily and when on a road trip we always stop for a break every 2-3 hours, translating to roughly every 250-300km. In 30,000km since I have owned the car I have never travelled more than 300km between charges, and even that is extreme. This new long range model is not a no brainer unless you want the faster acceleration. Personally I would opt for the LFP if it is available in your country.
I have an LFP and I love not having to baby it or worry about it. 100 degrees out today and all other EV batteries are degrading from the heat but not LFPs. I charge to 100% every night.
The LFPs are fantastic because in practical terms you are not filling up to 80% so the daily range nearly the same. Sometimes I wish my model Y was the LFP so I didnt need to ever think about the battery.
I agree with you 100%. This is what people don't get. My LFP equipped MY can be charged to 100% without worrying about degradation. Additionally, who on earth has the bladder capacity to drive 600kms without stopping? I sure don't. I "only" have 400kms official range on my MY but I could not be happier with it. Best car I ever owned.
I have a M3 SR LFP 2023. We regularly travel three different destinations in Calif. that are a little over 200 mi. with a mountain range in between. Just can't quite make it in one go and have to stop halfway to recharge. Luckily there is a massive supercharger so it works. But our id.4 makes those comfortably with no stop. Maybe it's just the bigger distances is here in the States but a true 300+ mile range would mean a lot of people don't ever have to stop in the middle of their journeys. This would cut the number of stops literally in half which is pretty significant in my book. This new model has basically a hundred miles more range and ends up being cheaper with tax credit so that, yeah that's a no-brainer. And yeah maybe you should only charge 80% on the NCM battery unless you're taking those long trips, but that 80% is probably at least the same range as the LFP model!
To bad that in Minnesota you almost have to have all wheel drive in the winter. After having all wheel drive in MN, I would never go back for our winters.
I have the UK 2023 M3 LR RW that they bought out briefly pre highland. The efficiency is great.
I also bought that one, Belgium. Great car.
Sitting in my 2024 M3 RWD LFP at a Supercharger while watching this video.
I would have loved this new long range RWD option in that UK when I ordered my Model 3 in May. However, if I’m honest, I don’t need the extra range.
My daily commute is only 20 miles, and I am on my first “long” trip since getting the car in June. 177 miles today to go to my son’s graduation ceremony tomorrow. Then back home on Tuesday.
The UK isn’t a huge place, so the modest range of the LFP is fine for me.
But, if I lived in the US, this new long range RWD would be my choice.
Especially at the prices paid in the US after the federal tax incentive.
You say it's the same but I'm not so sure this one comes with the high end audio that the long range AWD does. It might have the same sound system as the SR RWD
I asked but Tesla Taiwan told me this model will only be available in the States. To me this model will be the sweet spot for the majority of people. Truly hope Tesla understands this and cater to wider user base.
I have one of these and have just completed a 700 mile trip in very mixed conditions - temperatures in the 50s (10-15C), 60-70% at highway speed including driving rain/headwind for 235 miles of that distance. I was amazed that it averaged exactly 363 miles which is the EPA estimate.
This is the one to get. I have just bought the older shape M3 LrRwd (2023) and the efficiency is outstanding, currently getting 5.5 miles/kwh. Hopefully this will be available everywhere else in the world at some point.
This long range was for sale in The Netherlands in 2019 and I believe 2020, Fremont built! Tesla sourded from Shanghai thereafter and stopped the LR single motor. Since early '24 you can get the Model Y LR single motor, Berlin built. That also seems a great deal, priced exactly between the SR and the LR duel motor.
I think the performance seems good because the AWD long range is clipped by software. In my 2021 you can buy an acceleration boost to add HP and I assume this is the same in the 24 model.
They need to bring out the Model 2 asap, something like the Smart #1 Brabus or BYD dolphin that has the performance specs. of the M3 standard range.
Not gonna happen.
@@chillfluencer I think it's just a matter of time and priorities.
Sam, great report, thanks.
The Model 3 LR front tires should last significantly longer without the front motor's torque and regen.
Thanks for the info!
363 miles? Excellent! Even if you "fill" it to 80 percent, it's still pushing 300 miles..not too shabby! 😊
@@shreeshsaurya4203 The standard range gets around 270 miles of range.
but this one looks no lease option
So it is an LFP battery 🔋??
@@Juju-u7tthought the video said lithium phosphate for the standard, not the Long Ranger-
Same stereo too though?? I need my tunes and have high standards, living with my M3LR. lol
It’s a great move. It’s definitely gives customers better options. I just hopes it comes to AUS in the next 12 months
Model 3 is my dream car! Long range makes it that much better of a dream.
I don’t know why I keep hearing you said AWD for this model with a $5K discount? It sounds confusing!!! It is NOT AWD! Don’t utter any inkling or notion is an AWD!!,
do you know if they have lease option?
That motor costs more than 500 and you have to ad driveshaft and universal joints, those are 100 each alone.
Absolutely right. Elon mentioned at some point they had reduced motor costs to about 1000USD. Add all the additional costs of wiring, driveshafts etc. Hard to believe its less then about 1300USD saved by removing front motor.
@@teitpoulsen7183 plus extra inverter and associated cooling..
Less motor., less to go wrong . I like it. Unless the front area where the motor could be is not protected well.enough and road debre smashes the cooling hoses lol.
It's still expensive. I'll wait.
@@cryptoslacker-464that’s my only fear. I think we saw the same video lol
Yes, this is a very good thing. The model Y LR RWD is also available in other parts of the world and said to have a 600km range (albeit in WLTP) so better than LR AWD. Plus a 5.9s 0-100km. Would be a no brainer. Not every body needs or wants and awd, think bmw 3 series.....
LFP has better degradation percentage than Panasonic cylindrical batteries and can utilize the full pack every day. Here in Europe, you don't get long-range rwd anyway, and std range rwd LFP is currently at USD 30.450 only.
I have a MS P90D and get 40K out of tires, thats the same as my Journey. Put your car in chill mode.
I'm waiting for Juniper.
Chevy Equinox 1LT is coming out later this year at base price around $34K and range of 319 miles.
Well my formula is simple. Hold cash and wait till the market re-levels so I can make new buys again. Or are there any ways I can avoid a crunch and maximize my savings of $550k? I know election years are positive for the stock market about 90% of the time.
trade the chart, else you'd be waiting a long time! learn how to create a basket of securities like an expert or seek guidance from one
Agreed, I once downplayed the role of financial experts until suffering 40% portfolio loss amid 2020 lockdown, at once I consulted an advisor with grit and my portfolio was revamped. As of today, I'm just about 25% shy of $1m after 100s of thousands invested.
@@EShepard- I've worked in real estate for over 25 years and have neglected a major stock portfolio. This served me well when I was flipping and renting houses, however I need a different plan now.. mind if I vet the professional guiding you please?
Katherine Nance Dietz is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with and set up an appointment.
thanks for putting this out, curiously inputted Katherine Nance Dietz on the web, and spotted her consulting page no sweat.. was able to schedule a call session with her, she actually shows a great deal of expertise
Except....if you live in a climate with snow, a RWD car without winter tires is going to be a dangerous handful in those conditions. You will need dedicated winter rubber and that means a second set of wheels and the hassle that brings. Take it from a longtime driver of RWD BMW's. You don't want to get caught in a snowstorm on summer or even "all season" rubber.
In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of the Netherlands has held that an electric vehicle (EV) that fails to achieve the advertised range under normal driving conditions does not conform to the contract of sale and can be returned by the buyer.
Range is mostly to do with driving habits, even with gas cars. My 4cyl will eat gas like a v8 if I drive it like a nut.
@@ronfarnsworth7074
So, basically you are saying the Supreme Court didn't know that 😁
Interesting decision, but cars are rated in industry standard tests, not real world driving tests, just like ICE.
So how would you even prove that? What’s “normal”. Ridiculous argument. I guess just don’t advertise range. Can you return your gas car that( it probably every case) does not reach MPG rating?
Yeah. That’s an odd sounding decision given how subjective that can be. I get as annoyed about the range claims as much as the next EV consumer. But how do you hold an automaker to a standard like that? I mean “YMMV” is a widely used phrase/abbreviation for reason. Yes? Are they going to hold ICE cars to the same standard?
At least the battery does not overgeat after 5 minutes like with Model 3 Performance?
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Elizabeth Slone
Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing her been mentioned here also Didn't know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, i'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super.
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional.
Isn't that the same Mrs Elizabeth Slone that my neighbours are talking about, she has to be a perfect expert for people to talk about her so well
I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?
I was skeptical at first till I decided to try. Its huge returns is awesome. I can't say much
It isn't clear to me if the new long range RWD version comes with the 17 speaker audio system based on the information presented on the Tesla website. The website just indicates that the Model 3 comes with up to" a 17 speaker system. I don't see this information specified in the owner's manual either. This lack of transparancy is not a good look.
I was wondering about this too.
only for lr and performance it comes with 15 speakers and two subs the other models only give 9 speakers
Juniper needs 700km of range, 350kW of charging speed. Anything less is dissapointment. That might be reason why Tesla cant done it yet.
How long until it's available outside of the US?
Can you do a story on the EMFs a ev produces please is quite worrying.
I think the Model Y Juniper will be announced on August 8 along with everything else. It's going to be a big day!
Sad day for the planet.
8/8 was pushed back until October for Tesla
Do you really get more range out of the rwd model? Here in germany they tested the model y lr vs rwd lr. On the highway crusing at 130kmh the normal dual motor was more efficient. Maybee in the city... But is the city range really a deal? You need to take the performance 🎉❤😂
Sounds like an amazing deal
I wonder if they've fudged the numbers there a bit with roll out to get that 4.9 seconds
If I remember correctly, the long range 0 to 100 is 4.4, half a second considering the power Tesla has to get to ground in order to perform 4.9 with only two wheels - maybe they've made the tires even wider to compensate
In terms of value, I think this easily takes over the Sr as as the best value EV
Do you get the stereo upgrade
This is what I'm wanting to confirm too. Some say yes, some say no.
the need to wind down inventory of obsoleted parts and build up inventory of new parts at the same time....
the question is could you put a front motor into this model after the fact?
Rich rebuilds has done it with his electrified garage shop. It's not easy nor cheap though.
What about the stereo?
What a car!!
steal of the century
Wow. Tesla bringing so much value.
So I’ll take a rwd short range then… I only need 200 miles at 70mph to take trips to and back from our farm… I can charge some while I’m there, but I want to have a small buffer in case there’s a power outage or something. Give me manual windows, manual seats, no touchscreen, analog A/C controls and a price of 25,000. I personally can’t see how something like this couldn’t be possible. You could probably cut the battery in half and the weight savings of everything would get you close to that range. This is what people want. I’ve never had a new car, but I would buy that.
also available in UK
Is there a tesla i can buy that has the lithium iron phosphate battery?
I have one on order to replace my 2019 Model 3 Standard❤
I'm in California, I just ordered M3 RWD LR with estimated delivery in Aug-Sep. Cost about 40k otd after tax, fees and tax credit at 4.6% with NFCU if anyone care for comparison.
i’m also in cali and ordered one, same delivery and everything
@Jc-xj7fs they have a $1000 off military program in case you're mil and didn't know.
Sounds like a good move, does it mean that the back tires will wear out faster as they are the only means of propulsion. Sorry no LFP battery technology.
Redwood should come out soon
That’s not a fair comparison. The LiFEP batteries like 100% charge. The higher energy ternary cells like 80% max charge for long life. Therefore the range difference is not as great in the real world right?
It is close in price to a Prius Prime. Yet it probably has better acceleration, space and is mechanically much more simple. The range is good enough even for a road trip and this is without a solid state battery. With a solid state battery it can probably reach 1000km for a battery of the same size, or cost less for the same range, allowing for recharges of 600km of range in 10 minutes. QS stock price has jumped quite a bit in the past few days, following their announcement of a licensing deal to start production.
Prius Prime can accelerate 0 - 60 6.6 seconds a slug compared to this Tesla.
I’m starting to think I need to wait until 10 years later to get an EV
Is Elon trying to make this car a best seller? If they do this to the Model Y Long refresh then crazy. Driving the cybertruck for the weekend and it has been impressive.
When we hit 500 mile range is the average that will be something big!
I want the all wheel drive so I can’t get stuck. If one motor fails and I can still drive it.
The dual motor is more about having more control in varying weather. The likleyhood of a motor failing is very low.
360 miles of range means about 4 hours rolling with reserve, a good time for a sit down meal for 1 hour so charge back to full then roll another 4 hours.
Who rolls 4 hours in one go in everyday life?
@chillfluencer I do. There's alot of professional drivers out there
@@mrspeigle1 you don't need to charge for an hour.
I do a lot of traveling.
I stop every 3 hrs to take a break and use the restroom.
3 hrs of driving does not take an hour to replace energy used.
@@chillfluencer Agreed. Very few. I love my EV. But until you can get closer to ICE cars in terms of trip times (on long drives), there will continue to be challenges winning over mainstream American buyers. I know lots of people who love the idea of an EV on paper... but when it comes time to actually put down $$, they just can't see themselves going full BEV. When the average EV gets well above 400 miles of real-world range, OR can achieve similar refueling speeds to ICE cars, people will get over their fears of switching. Sad... but I believe I'm right on this.
I drove the 2000km / 1200 miles Blue Mountains to Melbourne return 3 times between Christmas and late February this year - it's not only cheaper in my EV than previous ICE car it's faster overall.
I stop 2 times in each direction no matter what car I am in for late breakfast and early dinner, in the EV I just roll up to the charger, plug in and go inside to eat and use the bathroom, by the time I am done I have plenty of charge to continue. In the petrol car one of these stops was always a fill-up...fill the car, go inside to pay, back to the car, move it to a car park then go inside...by the time I had done this I was 1/2 way through my meal in the EV.
The round trip costs $120 in supercharger fees, petrol was $250-280.
The best thing is the other 32,000km / 20,000 miles have cost a total of $275 in electricity, saved 60 trips to a service station, at leat 7-8 hours of my life and a minimum of $4000.
$42,500.00 for a Tesla is not affordable but my Honda Fit I C.E. bought at 19,500.00 was.
Bro my dad got the RWD SR the other cuz it was the cheapest, and then this one came out and he was so pissed
@WhatsGood_101: Thats WhatsBad_202
Any savings on gas you can put towards your car payment. I just calculated on Tesla Canada’s website and over 60 months it’s still $1000 a month for the base model with $5000 down.
So any tax bribes get negated with your monthly finance plan.
Not worth it.
The cheapest and greenest car is one that is paid off.
Only if you ignore carbon pollution.
The writing is on the wall most people prefer LFP batteries viking.
👍👍
Indeed, 2024 Tesla model 3 Long Range RWD is the best sedan on the US market now.
3:00 It's claim is 0-60mph in 4.9sec - that's 0-100km/h in 5.1sec.
They need more options, not just an update to Y. I guess you disagree with Tesla that lower cost models are needed? Musk seems to believe lower cost models are critical
Yes new model y . Going to be better ride and looking.
I drive 200 miles on highway each day. Standard range plus can not do that with a 250 mi charge. unless you drive like its Sunday Single motor Teslas are the most efficient
How much horsepower on that model?
idk but the 0-60 is just 0.1 slower than the model y long range
Annoyed. Got my m3 rwd last week. And now this comes out, which I would have gotten instead….
you got lfp battery...
Unfortunate. This new version makes the SR obsolete.
@@mkmd8959 but on long road trips when you charge to 100, the extra range comes in handy. That's like an almost 100 mile range increase.
@@InsighterofTech Both cars charge to 100% for first leg of road trip. Neither car charges to 100% subsequently because it takes too long. If you charge both to 80%, the bigger battery along with greater charging rate wins.
@@Lost_In_LA I know but people say that the lfp is better because you can charge to 100 everyday while you can’t on the long range. But on road trips or certain situations, the 363 long range helps a lot
Panasonic has been dragging their feet like crazy with these batteries.
Correct new Model Y ❤
i have my 2023 model 3, with 263 mile range. yesterday in vegas, it was 117-120F.
i drove 40 miles, and used 163 miles of range.
I love my tesla, but this is not acceptable, and reasons why these cars are not selling great yet. thank goodness only in the summer we have massive power drains on these cars when its over 107F outside. when its over 100F out, ill see much less drain, but its still a range killer. the rest of the year its not uncommon to see 1 mile driven and 1 mile of range used, even at 28F at night. my inconvenience in terms of climate affecting EVs is fairly shorter term. but it is still annoying AF. but, the 9 months of the year its pretty much 1 for 1 miles driven and range used, for my purposes im still saving a ton of money. but for others, they really should know that EVs in extreme heat especially if its long term or all year round....are not really that great.
at a SC.40c per kwh to charge about 37kwh is about $15. $15 to go 40 miles. the reason i bring up SC us because in my garage charging drastically slows down because its too hot inside, where without that heat issue i almost never need a SC for months.
to compare, gas is $3.70 or so in vegas. that is about 4 gallons of gas for $15. a gas guzzler V8 would get you about 70 miles for that price, or if you bought a hybrid camry about 168 miles at 42 miles a gallon.
theres still reasons why a gas car just makes more sense, or a hybrid. EVs cannot handle extreme temps. hot, or cold. this being the reason why 2/3 of the country do not want EV mandates, they cannot compete in many real world situations.
Maybe not live in a desert?
@@williamgrunzweig571 well that is uncontrollable at this point, but in 3 years glad to leave. but clearly, you missed the entire point that EVs are not consistent in climates across most of the nation. its their biggest fault.
Very well said.
The big question is when Model 2 ??
I’m a little confused on if the new RWD LR variant will have the 17 speakers or the downgraded 9
The inside evs article claims it gets the 17 speaker setup.
Just go look it up on their website. It's not difficult.
@@williamgrunzweig571 the website says all rwd variants will have the 9 speakers. And all long range variants will have the 17 speakers. Not that difficult to read is it
Tesla sales advisor said LR RWD only has 9 speakers, not 17
I just got my RWD model 3, beautiful. But SHORT RANGE (Dubai)… so it’s almost the same price…? Frustrated.

The news comes as Wall Street continues to dial down expectations for Tesla’s first-quarter sales
Build an estate please. The cyber truck for Europe.
Even if the charger supports 250 kW, you likely won't get this rate. How many other people are charging at the same station? Most stations can't support many vehicles all charging at 250 kW even if each individual charger supports this rate. Maybe one vehicle can charge at this rate if no one else is charging. Also, the Model 3 only charges at 250 kW between ten and fifteen percent. The rate drops precipitously after fifteen percent. By fifty percent, it's below 100 kW.
Adding 175 miles in fifteen minutes is still much faster than my Bolt, but I've never had a problem with the lower rate. I only fast charge on long road trips, like over a hundred miles, and I only take a few of these trips, maybe half a dozen, in a year. So what if I spend half an hour charging, each way, on a 300 mile (each way) road trip? That's not a huge inconvenience for me, and it's the only price I pay to save ten grand or more on the price of the vehicle. If I own a Model 3, I pay for the larger battery with a faster charging rate all of the time, but I rarely use these features. If you can easily afford to do that, more power to you, but most people are more cost conscious.
Is that really 363 miles?
They have a record of exaggerating!
363 miles in the epa standard test, in practice driving 80mph with the ac cranked and the stero bumping it's proably more like 275.
@@mrspeigle1 what about below freezing range? Also below freezing does it take longer to charge?
Not hwy range as the epa for evs is for mixed cycle testing with an average speed of just 48mph.
So all hwy is probably going to be 320-340 miles depending on speeds&temps+your wheels.
more like 320 real world average, plus, prob only can charge to 80%. so 290 before real world loss prob means about 260 when charged to 80%. still, its nice to see higher capable ranges.
so will it no longer chew through tires like the normal model 3?
Depends how one drives.
Model 3 doesn't chew through tires, that was an issue with early model s, not an issue any more. For tire eating get a MB AMG.
What you don’t like drifting? 😂
Not exactly the same. 8 fewer speakers...
We can't wait for the new ModelY as our grandson turns 17 this August and we are giving our 2012 Prius to him for his birthday. We just sank over $5000 into it so he wouldn't have to.
It's going to be replace by a new Model Y. I would love to wait but we need two vehicles and we are already excited to get it. We our having a Tesla universal charger installed as I am typing this as we are keeping our 2021 Bolt(Love this car). No more ICE or hybrids for us,
2021 Chevy Bolt Fireball. Make sure to keep it parked OUTSIDE.
Still too much, that's $58 k Canadian. Ridiculous for a damn car.
I think the biggest value of this video is the commentary around batteries. Maybe redo and release another name?
CATL, with a 37.5 per cent share of the global market for EV batteries, was a pioneer spearheading Chinese EV supply-chain vendors to internationalise their businesses. It supplies batteries to global brands including Tesla, BMW, Ford Motors and Volkswagen.
Chinese companies led by CATL already make up six of the world's top 10 EV battery producers, with a combined 64 per cent of the global market in the first five months of this year.
That dominance of the global market has set off alarm bells in the US, which has ceded the lead in EV roll-outs and infrastructure to China. The White House announced in May it would quadruple tariffs on China-made EVs, which now stand at 100 per cent of their list prices. Last Thursday, additional duties of 17.4 to 37.6 per cent came into effect provisionally in the EU.
Tesla Inc. is joining forces with Chinese EV battery maker CATL, which would be a “game changer” for the U.S.-based EV maker as it works to launch a vehicle costing about $25,000 and suffers through another volley of lowered expectations for its quarterly sales.
China is performing as a military aggressor , what is the BIG PLAN ?
All Tesla LFP batteries are supplied from CATL, Tesla has been using CATL batteries since mid 2021.
RWD in snow country ?
That's on my mind too.
But with the motor over that back wheels, studded snows, and traction control, I'm thinking ground clearance becomes a bigger factor.
Winters are getting warmer and wetter here in northern Ma.
Real snow country? Maybe less than ideal. But here in Ohio, USA, I have a 2018 RWD long-range M3. I’ve done a fair amount of snow driving. This car does quite well. I’d say it’s on par with, or better than, any FWD car I’ve driven in the white stuff. (And I’ve been driving all kinds of cars for 40 years)
@@scottdvorak5606 Very helpful, thank you.
@@jameschristiansson3137 No Problem. Just as explanation -
@ronfarnsworth7074 is correct on his statement. I believe the weight bias has a lot to do with how this car handles in the snow. Also, the computer on this car has better control over the drive-train than any other I've ever driven. It's hard to explain until you try to break the car loose in the snow. Doing doughnuts in the snow is next to impossible below 25 MPH, unless you activate "Slip Start". Additionally, I freaked my wife out by repeatedly stabbing the accelerator to the floor while going down a residential street after 3-4" of snowfall, (doing 25 MPH). When you do this, there's an almost imperceptible twitch you can feel for a split second the first time you smash the accelerator. But it's far less than any ICE car I've ever driven. There was no wheel spin, no drama... nothing. Of course, if you do that on a dry street, this car will launch forward, and press you into the seat until you let off the pedal. So, the computer really reigns in the driver-train when conditions are slippery. Hope that helps anyone considering the RWD version in mixed climates.
I have driven most of my life with rear wheel drive in the snowy Great Lakes climate and never had much problems driving in snow storms. It takes certain driving technique that becomes intuitive naturally and it’s quite effective.
REMEMBER!
It took quite a while for the Model 3 to come out after the first test mules were seen. Juniper isn’t coming out next quarter! I doubt we’ll see it this year.
If they were only working on the Model Y, then yes, they probably would release it this year. There are up to four different cars they’ll be unveiling in 2024
1 The cyber cab
2 The model 2 (two versions)
3 Possibly a cyber “van”.
After all of that, they still have to scale up cyber truck production and they are working on a sports car.
Don’t hold your breath on Juniper anytime soon.
Addendum. There are supposed to be a couple more cars coming out based on the 3 and Y as well.
A van would be amazing. Just copy the other minivans…nothing edgy…and moms will go for it.
@@aguyfromnothere Then you might be disappointed. It MAY be optimized as an automated people mover. A “cyber van” so to speak. This is speculation though! I could be very wrong about this.

Hyperinflation in the USA is leading to price collapses everywhere now #weimar_coal_price as the US logisitcs system despite being the best in Human History still isn't nearly good enough to handle this disaster. Deals on Teslas continue to be had big time and all vehicles currently actually. The good indeed great news for Tesla is that they have gone big with Cybertruck and Tesla Semi. The economics works far better for BEV when you go literally big/massive as don't need as much production to have a material impact on the market and suppliers are much more secure knowing that there isn't so much #cutthroat competition in Big which can be seen in the China versus the World small formfactor BEV for a few grand US Dollars now.
I think they should offer the buyer a choice of rear OR front motor ! Are not the handling characteristics of a FWD vehicle better than a RWD config ? Or does the 'skateboard' layout make this a moot point ?
Only 4 Star ANCAP
Tesla finally fixed the biggest dumbest hole in their lineup. It has been silly for the last couple years in the US. The model 3 normal trims did not qualify for the $7,500 tax credit. The batteries did not qualify because they were made in China. So Tesla's cheapest models did not qualify, making them quite a bit more expensive than the competition and more expensive than Tesla's own model Y. I test drive the early 2024 m3, almost certainly would have bought one of these LR if I were in the market now, instead we ended up getting a used 2023 M3 rwd a few months ago. It's a great car but realistically the range is only about 200 ish miles on the freeway. Nice improvements to the 2024 + much higher range, to me is just about the perfect small sedan.
Yeah, how much dies the fast charger cost?
Give me a brake!
You guys are hiding real world coats.
@@I-Do-NOT-Consent-303 A fast charger is not really necessary. The owners I know don't have one, they just let it charge while they sleep and wake up to a full battery. That is only a cost to the impatient and impractical. Also, if you want one, they cost less than $500.
It's been 8 years since Tesla introduced the $35,000 car in the US and now that really is the price! Eight years is light speed for Tesla.
Accounting for inflation a base tesla m3 sr should cost you 44k in today's dollar SMDH. 😀
And the base sr at 38k is vastly superior to the announced m3 with 220 miles of range no heat pump acoustic glass etc from 2016! 🤚
A 24 m3p for just over 40% of what a 2013 p100d cost without factoring in inflation and can smoke it! It's nuts what tesla has accomplished.
