Is the Tesla Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive Long Range already here?

Comment
Tesla Model 3

Tesla appears to have secretly introduced a lighter and more efficient battery on its Model Y and Model 3 that provides greater range.

Is the Tesla Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive on its way or already among us without us knowing? The question is worth raising, even more so when consulting the various technical sheets offered by Tesla on its official website.

There, you can indeed discover the existence of a Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, which has never existed in the history of this car. No confusion is possible: this car will soon be offered.

The Tesla Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive Syndrome?

All these theories stem from a very simple assumption: Model 3 and Model Y share the same platform. One is a sedan, the other an SUV. Therefore, when one evolves, we can expect the other to follow the same trajectory a few weeks or months later.

However, the episode of the Tesla Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive has frankly caused chaos. Yet another example of poor communication management through the expert Elon Musk. Customers are genuinely confused: what exactly are they buying? An upgraded Model Y? A digitally restricted Model Y? A Model Y Long Range with only 2-wheel drive? But then, why so many different prices? And why do prices keep fluctuating so much?

Elon Musk’s announcement of an electronic unlock of the range of the already circulating Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive once again raises suspicion towards Tesla. Is the American manufacturer selling cars that could be better than we think? Tesla’s opacity regarding the definition of its cars is becoming a real point of tension.

In any case, we learn through the table of Model 3 that a Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive version already exists. And as with the Model Y, its weight is less than that of the Rear-Wheel Drive version, even though one might assume that its battery is heavier to ensure a better range.

It’s a great grey area… If you want a Tesla Model 3, Mobiwisy would strongly recommend you wait a few days or weeks for things to become clearer. Otherwise, you might be joining a long list of customers who purchased at a bad time.
