2024 Tesla Model 3 RWD vs. Long Range AWD - How to Choose the Right One

We just bought the 2024 Tesla Model 3 rwd standard range instead of the long range battery with all-wheel drive. It was a VERY tough decision but I think it was the right call for us.
In THIS video I want to help anyone out there considering both of these options with the main rationale behind why we chose the cheaper rwd version and why you might want to also.
With that being said I DO think certain people should buy the long range AWD version but maybe not for the reasons they think.
I hope this information helps make sure you get the right Tesla Model 3 and you can relax knowing you made the right decision.

Update: Wow, the LFP battery is no longer offered... Crazy! I think points in the video still stand but in Canada anyway the new base model doesn't qualify for as many rebates which is a bummer.

[@bmw1001h]

Why does it still stand? I completely agreed with your point when it was $14k difference (BC rebate + 10k) however with the LR RWD vs LR AWD, the price difference is just $5k. Then it is definitely worth considering AWD versions more now.

[@TheSAHDLife]

@@bmw1001h Definitely. The rwd is still the range champ but for a few extra bucks you get some SERIOUS upgrades.

[@MikeRadioNY]

The sound system is the big miss. I’ve always had subwoofers in my past cars and really miss it having a M3 RWD the old one before the longer range. That’s the one thing I really do miss is the better sound system. Oh just to clarify the sound system does sound amazing and you won’t be disappointed, but if you use two subwoofers and a little more punch, then the All-wheel-drive will have that.

In Ontario here. Bought my wife a MYLR as her new commuter and it's awesome. So great that now I want a model 3 for my vehicle. Used 2023's can be found for $42-45k with very low mileage. The ability to leave your house every day with full charge is a huge benefit!

[@TheSAHDLife]

Nice! Even with our standard range we have experienced ZERO range anxiety. We are able to charge it at home, and with our usage, the trickle charge from a standard 120v is enough. It's great. I think we're at 1500 kms and it's cost us about $22 in electricity so far? Loving that. Tough call on the last years model though... the new refresh just has some really nice features with the quieter interior and newer hardware. If you can somehow wait or get into the newer model I'd say do that, but if you can get last years on the lower end I'm sure it'd still be sweet to have.

In the US you can lease the RWD for 299 a month vs 349 for the AWD for 36 months, I ended up getting the AWD for the extra $50 a month.

I will do the same here in Europe. I think the interior specs are also better on the awd .

[@theodorehartman5086]

When I made the decision for the base model 3 2 months ago the price difference between the base model three and the extended range model 3 was Just Way too much money. The base model three has certainly enough acceleration to suit anybody. The difference in range with the base model 3 LFP charging to 100% versus the extended range charging to 85% equates to both cars getting about the same range with probably a 10 mile variant, which is insignificant when you're charging on a trip. I leased my model three for 3 years 10,000 miles a year and my lease payment is $153.00 a month. Very, very happy with what I have..

[@TheSAHDLife]

Wow, great price! Yeah it sounds like we had the same thought process when choosing. I still think about the AWD and the better sound system, but it would have made our payments SO much more... there are just better things we can use that money for. I'm really happy with the car though. Love it! 👊

I have the 2023 model 3 RWD and it’s been great so far. I’m not a roadtrip person so the range is more than enough for me! I trickle charge for now but it does the job!

That's awesome. PPF is tempting I can't decide if I should do it or not. No regrets on that? The accessories are kind of addicting I'm not going to lie. I sure love driving it.

[@cdude996]

I feel ya! I got the long range but keep dreaming about the performance version. Here in Quebec, it doesn't qualify for the 12k (fed + prov) incentive, which would've made it 22k more than the long range--I could not justify it! You've made the right choice as there's no limit to human desire. :) Great video, keep it up!

[@TheSAHDLife]

Appreciate the positive vibes, thanks 👊 And I know... I tried to talk my wife into the performance one 😆 Maybe for the next one. It's basically my dream car. I mean honestly, I'm jealous of the one you got. I think that added performance would really be fun but hey, I'm still super happy, especially at the price point. Random question... I imagine you are happy too with your vehicle (what year did you get?), but I'm creating a list of things I don't like about it... I'd love to know if you have any and what they are?

[@cdude996]

@@TheSAHDLife Actually, I should thank you. Your video made me feel better about my purchase, but not for the reason you might think. You see...just as you are envious of those who got the LR, I am envious for those who got the performance, and rest assured that the performance guy is envious of the Porsche guy...so on and so forth. :) Naturally, but irrationally, we always desire more. To honest, all 3 versions of the car are exceptional, so congrats and enjoy it! This time next year, you won't even care anymore about which version you have and perhaps even be happier that you saved your money for something more important. Indeed, my family and I are very happy with the car. We went with the LR because it is our only car and AWD is almost a requirement for Quebec winters. Things I don't like, not much at this point but keep in mind I'm still in the "honeynoon" phase. :D I also don't mind the exclusion of stalks, might even prefer it. I think people tend to exaggerate in this regard. Nonetheless, here is a short list: - Brake pedal cover is rubber and looks cheap and the accelerator has nothing--bare metal! I purchased nice stainless steel set. Easy fix! - Have to buy things that should've been included in the car like console organizers, mobile charger, charger adapter mount, etc. - All weather OEM floor mats are very expensive, around 800 + taxes for a full set. Aftermarket is cheaper but not by much for good quality ones - Tesla's quality control terrible track record. Though the highland has excellent quality control, I am always on the lookout for imperfections that I might have missed. I found one so far, front doors were misaligned but Tesla customer service quickly took care of it. - Back door has no proper stepping area in the frame, so my child always steps on the insulation rubber to come out. - No electric frunk. - No sensors on bumpers. I am not convinced that the cameras only approach is superior.

in Sweden the long range version is probably the most popular. But Sweden is a winter country. and the snow shoveling does not always work so satisfactorily. it can therefore be deep snow even outside the apartment and in the parking lot probably 30 cm in any case

[@TheSAHDLife]

Yeah that's nuts! I don't have any experience with cold weather yet on mine so I can't say... From what I read the NMC batteries are a little better in cold weather. Still seems a little sketchy having a EV in the winter but we'll see!

It's crazy when I was looking at the website while making this video I saw some odd price points on the US site compared to the Canadian site. I didn't realize they removed the LFP battery's and switched back to the LR RWD models.

[@pawochoa]

Yes, but the LFP variant of the M3 is no longer available.

[@voldar70]

Problem is the degradation will happen even in the LFP. It's a fantaisie to think an Ion-Lithium battery doesn't degrade.

[@TheSAHDLife]

@voldar70 it definitely does degrade but it gets double if not triple the amount of charge cycles compared to an NMC battery from what I've seen. It really only affects people that aim to keep the vehicle for a long time.

[@voldar70]

@@TheSAHDLifeCycles are not the part that cause the most degradation on an EV battery. Calendar aging is where you should concentrate, if you would like to minimize degradation. And the LFP isn't different in this regard compared to the NMC. The 100% full charge per week advise from Tesla is more about the BMS calibration than anything. And what's the difference between the LFP and NMC is not that the LFP can be charged to 100%, the NMC/NCA can very well be charged to 100%. What LFP does is that it can sit long time at 100% without an adverse impact on the battery.

[@Andersljungberg]

the volts in lfp batteries are said to be able to drop sharply. when the battery strength starts to approach 0

I don't plan on ever doing that myself so I won't be able to say whether that's true or not but that's interesting.

[@franklong6269]

You should never run any EV battery to 0%. You risk bricking the car. Teslas are very durable and usually survive, but it's a really stupid thing to do. Once you get below 30%, you should charge the car. However, if you occasionally run it down to 10%, you probably won't have any problems.

[@JoeyXB]

Great vid. I’m deciding between these 2 models right now and you touch on all the points in my mind. Basically gonna come down to whether I want that extra zip for more money.. but the battery difference is interesting

[@TheSAHDLife]

Well they've gotten rid of the LFP battery so now you don't have to worry about having that as an option. The rear wheel drive and all wheel drive now use the same battery and the rear wheel gets better range and is faster than the LFP version that I got. I slightly regret not getting the zippier all-wheel drive so if you can afford it I would probably nudge you there hehehe. Sorry if that makes things worse!

I'm definitely going for the LR RWD. I've driven a Model 3 AWD LR 2019 for 4 years. Spent 99% of the time in Chill mode. Never needed the extra power. Bit bummed you can't spec the AWD sound system on the LR RWD. That aside, the LR RWD is amazing in terms of range.

[@TheSAHDLife]

Nice! How has your experience been with the Tesla after 4 years? Any negative experiences? I know, it sure would be nice to be able to add those speakers in without it costing an arm and a leg. Have you ever been in a situation (rain/snow) where you were glad you had the AWD or not really?

[@rogiersmit]

I’m curious whether there’s a significant difference in driving behavior-such as traction, steering, and stability-between the AWD and RWD versions.

[@TheSAHDLife]

From the research I did, it sounds like RWD will steer a little different since you don't have power going to the front wheels, but as far as everything else it sounded pretty similar. You would think the traction would be different with the AWD and I'm sure it is when you are on the gas but as far as braking goes they are supposedly the same.

I would suggest that you purchase a Tesla Wall Connector to charge at home. Typically there are rebates which will pay for the purchase cost and installation.

[@TheSAHDLife]

Good call. The trickle charging has been sufficient for us based on how much we drive so far... I guess we'd have to look into how much it costs etc as I'm sure it would be nice to have. Any other accessories you think are worth it? We got all weather mats which are nice.

[@franklong6269]

@@TheSAHDLife Tesla makes two wall connectors (typically called "wall chargers"). One is called the Universal Wall Connector and it charges just about every kind of EV. The second is just the Tesla Wall Connector which only has the NACS Tesla connector. There is about $100 difference between the two. The cheaper NACS Tesla charger would probably be the best choice because the entire EV industry in North America is moving towards adopting the NACS adapter. Typically, most cities and countries have tax rebates that enable you to purchase and install the Tesla wall connector for very little cost. It will also increase the value of your home. In America, I get a 30% tax credit off of all costs to install the wall connector. I purchased the Tesla Universal Wall Connector, which allows you to charge EVs with a J1772 port, because I may be renting my home. Both the Universal and the NACS Tesla wall connectors are the same; the only difference is the Universal charges non-Tesla EVs. To install it, all you need to do is install a 60 Amp breaker in your electric service panel. You run 6/2 NV-B Romex (you can buy it on Amazon) from the service panel to the location you are going to be charging your car, typically the garage. When you have your wall charger installed, make sure that you put it in a location where it will be easy to reach the charging port, whether you back the car into the garage or drive it forward into the garage. The Tesla Wall Connector comes with 24 feet of cable, which is enough for most garages. Typically, you will install your wall connector on the garage wall that is nearest to your electric service panel. You can install the Tesla Wall Connector outside your garage if necessary, but I would advise installing it inside if possible. It is weatherproof. Installing it inside your garage will probably extend its life and will facilitate quicker charging because you live in a cold-weather location.

[@mitsuyagi]

In México, the RWD only includes textile seats, so if you want vegan leather seats you need to buy the AWD or performance versions

[@TheSAHDLife]

That is interesting! I wonder what other little differences there are. So weird how the base model is different in every country.

[@Enforcer_WJDE]

It's a hard buy in Germany. First i got a smaller car than the Tesla Model 3 but it's really frugal with gas and has a good size for driving inside our cities and getting parking. We get the SR+ RWD, the LR RWD and the LR AWD. I would love to get the LR RWD with more range and better sound system since i don't get any engine sound i would at least have a good sound system. However...a SR+ RWD would make the most economical sense since as you said, it's the best bang for your buck. The SR+ would cover 90% of my commutes, i can charge at home ( rooftop solar ) and in case i have to drive further which is generally 200km one way it still would be enough. BUT, the SR+ RWD here costs shy of 47k € because we don't get any rebates or whatever to reduce the price and a LR RWD costs shy of 52k € Extra options would be the the red paint and EAP. Interestingly enough our base color is "white" and not "stealth grey" like in North America...

[@TheSAHDLife]

Are you SURE the LR RWD comes with the premium audio? It does not here in North America so I would just triple check that before you make that decision if it's important to you. And yeah tough call. If I didn't have to share the decision with my accountant wife I would have gone for the full YOLO LR AWD because to be honest, this is basically my dream car. I love the SR but it just doesn't have that sound and oomph that really brings a smile to your face. It still does, and I think the LR RWD is even faster but... if you're spending that much money and know you'll keep the car 5+ years, I mean it's hard not to just get everything you want instead of settling. Sorry if that doesn't help 🤣

[@Enforcer_WJDE]

@@TheSAHDLife You might be right. I read conflicting information about it but it seems only the performance comes with the premium sound system. Good thing you questioned it.

[@DanRonczka]

Its not speed. Its acceleration. Its not for having fun. Its good to be able to overtake faster, or get fast out of dangerous situation. But yes. the acceleration of the SR is still better than 80% of other cars on the street and helps a lot. With LR, of course you will not use the full range every day. So you keep the battery around 60% and it will live longer than you. But you have extra range when you need it. To go visit family on the other side of your country... I was also thinking which one to buy. Its different for everybody. But for me, the winner is LR.

[@TheSAHDLife]

Oh come on... it's a LITTLE bit for having fun :) And it is fun! But you are right. It's so nice to have that passing power. I just love it. I think that LR version is great, I wish I had it. Are you thinking of getting one soon? Exciting.

Just balance and go. on rwd the rear tires gonna go off faster than front tires , so it's just 2 tires to replace, right? or u can extend their life x2 and replace 4 tires. it's same money. the tires are not gonna be eaten up from the sides or whatever uneven you think (if the car has the right aligment). you just gonna spend the same amount of money on replacement of the tires, BUT saving more time on that rotation ceremony every 3k miles. so on RWD if you rotate your tires and all 4 lasts 40k miles, then without rotation the front just gonna get too old to drive with still 50% left, the rear are gonna last around 25k. in US it's free to rotate them in Walmart, but it takes 1.5h round trip at 7 am. how much do u make per h ? easy math says that time does not worth it even if you save 10% of your tires by rotating them (which as I said very questionable).

[@TheSAHDLife]

The long range would be sweet. The power/audio would be a big plus too. I guess it depends on the deals you can get. For us and our needs the standard range was good enough. Still happy with it 4 months later though! Really happy.

[@Andersljungberg]

You then apparently cannot transfer power to the battery if it is 100%, for example when you brake by releasing the gas pedal. there will not be as effective

[@TheSAHDLife]

The car has an option to apply actual break instead of regenerative braking when it's at 100% I believe so it will feel the same.

That is a non-issue. As soon as the car drops 2-3% regen works normally. I regularly charge my Model 3 to 100% and have never had the regen function not work.

When I ordered my LR RWD in early August, it was the best of both worlds - cheapest AND longest range. Don’t care about speakers and was already doing the white interior, so no biggie. Edit: Though, as I watched further, it appears you’re Canadian, so the tax incentivizes are different for you. And you apparently didn’t have RWD LR available until recently. So makes sense that they wasn’t even a thought. Before LR RWD was released in July, LR AWD was only $1000 more than the RWD, so I’d still have gone AWD given that option.

@@TheSAHDLife I think they do better than current generation of LFP in winter but it’s simply the extra range that will help . Also don’t like having to charge to 100% for an accurate state of charge . While LFPs have more charge cycle no lithium batteries do well at 100% for extended periods especially in hot climates . People seem to think it’s fine to charge to 100% every day with LFP. Maybe if you lease ….

Oh and long range has AWD which is better in winter .

[@Techridr]

​@@jeanraymond9114 The peak voltage of the LFP is still less than the average nominal voltage of the NMC. So, the LFP at 100% is under less stress than the NMC at 50%. The varying voltage is what degrades batteries the most and LFP varys very little and can cycle at least 3x even charging to 100%. I've owned both and can verify, NMC is a better battery for density and performance, but for everything else, Safety, longevity... LFP is a much better technology. Tesla's thermal management is excellent, so cold weather is fine. I've had no issues. Also, I only charge to 100% about once every 6 or 7 days. Not to be careful, but just because of my driving habits.

A large full size luxury automobile which Tesla doesn't even make, paid off at 41K and more than a pleasure to drive. After getting rid of my model S my electric bill came down and so did my insurance premiums.Tesla is nice but they just need to be improved and that's it. Till then, I'll keep the real (long range) of 570 miles and leave more than well enough alone....

Hey Carl!!! Isn't it something how EV owners are brainwashed into thinking that this is it? Yet the majority knows better. You are absolutely right. The Tesla model Y boasts (long range) yet it's range comes up short compaird to the many ICEs. One of many reasons why people would rather leave well enough alone. I too have a Jaguar XJL. You get 570 miles of range with your jaguar XJL, I get 573 miles of range. My long distance travel car is the jaguar FX20D which delivers a range of 731 miles. No Tesla or any EV can deliver this. So I'm like you. I'll Waite for the improvements....

[@carlsmith1118]

@TheSAHDLife As far as the technical stuff, that just makes the simplicities of driving a little more complex. Driving is easy and should always be easy. Yes, you are absolutely correct. Charging is cheaper than gas. On a long trip, and thanks to the short ranges Electric delivers,you'll have to jump off more often and plug in and stay awhile. For all that sitting and waiting, Charging better be cheaper. Infact if it was up to me, it would be free. As far as gas? Money I have, time I don't. When traveling from Lancaster Pennsylvania to Jacksonville Florida, Dallas Texas, Kansas city Missouri or Chicago Illinois just to mention my long range travels. Not mentioning mid range travels and countless short range travels, I have no time for sitting. I wish I could get an EV that maybe can't charge in 3 minutes but atleast 10 minutes or less and delivers the same range as my car. But unfortunately like high-speed bullet trains, also fully electric, they don't exist in the mighty united States of America. I like cars that are fun to drive too but, when traveling, there's nothing fun about anything gas or electric that just doesn't deliver. So I'll Wait till the far greater EVs come from China so I can get my Zeekr or for the United States to upgrade their EVs. My high standards will not allow me to settle for less. If less is good enough and fun for you, then do you. When not traveling, thanks to the (long range), I fuel up once every 4 to 6 weeks at a half tank. $40 to $45 bucks. For the money I spend on gas, I make back 3 times as fold or more. The results? My car takes more than great care of me.....

Edit: Yeah here in Canada that LFP battery is still in the base model and I imagine in a lot of other countries too.

[@Techridr]

@@TheSAHDLife Indeed. I think the tipping point for Tesla removing it here was that the CATL (Chinese) battery is subject to a higher tariff than before. I think it went from 7.5% to 25%, so that and the fact that it doesn't quality for the $7500 federal tax credit means, in many cases, the Long Range RWD costs less than this LFP. I have a 2023 LFP RWD and although I'd love the 24 refresh, I love it. There are still a few RWD-LFPs in Inventory and I'm really considering the swap. But, I'm not opposed to the Long Range RWD because of the few upgrades and a bit quicker. Decisions, decisions! 🤔

@@TheSAHDLife I have a feeling, the lack of LFP versions on the market here might be good for resale. LFP is the obvious choice for ride share drivers. I also thought to hold off till the refreshed Y shows up to see if I want to go that route. We're close enough that I might do that

[@franklong6269]

The LFP batteries are far more durable than the NMC batteries in the AWD. Though Tesla doesn't provide actual charging cycle life, the LFP batteries should maintain 90% or more of their original capacity after 4000 cycles, or 11 years of charging every day, which is more akin to 15 years of charging three times a week. Right now, LFP batteries are the most durable, long lasting batteries made. I have a 2022 RWD Model 3 with over 82,000 miles on it and it has over 95% of its original battery capacity. By comparison, NMC batteries will degrade over 10% in approximately 50,000 miles depending on your charging habits. They still are solid batteries, but nowhere near as durable as LFP batteries. The RWD is also more efficient than the AWD and it will cost you less than the AWD to charge and operate.

[@TheSAHDLife]

See I was pretty stoked about the LFP myself which is why I made the previous video. It's a bummer they weren't able to continue using them. I mean they COULD it would just cost a lot more. Not worth it for the consumers because like you said, NMC batteries are still good. That's awesome your Tesla battery is still in such good condition. Have you had to do anything else during those 82,000 miles to the car?

[@franklong6269]

@@TheSAHDLife Here are answers to your comments and questions in order: 1. Tesla is partnering with CATL (a Chinese battery company) to build a semi-solid-state LFP battery factory in the US. Supposedly, these batteries will provide a 600-mile range, they will perform much better in extreme hot and cold weather, and they will charge to 80% in about 10 minutes. The factory should be finished in 2025. Many theorize these batteries will be installed in the updated Model Y that is coming out. Tesla is licensing CATL's technology and building the product in the USA so that it qualifies for the federal rebate. 2. I changed the cabin air filters. I provided a link to the ones I used in a separate comment for you. I do recommend the ones I purchased. 3. I had to clean the two radiators on the Model 3. There are two radiators under the frunk in the Model 3, and they are very important because they help the heat pump heat and cool the battery pack and the cab. After cleaning the radiators, my efficiency went from around 3.75 - 4.0 miles per kW to 4.5 - 5.0 miles per kW. I am still testing this because I live in Arizona, and it has been over 110 degrees F for most of the summer. When the temperature drops below 85 degrees F, I am actually getting 190W/mile if I drive conservatively. This is a staggering 5.27 miles per kW. So cleaning the filters significantly increased my range. In a separate comment, I provided instructions on how to purchase a front grill filter for your Model 3, along with a product recommendation that I installed on my car. I cannot emphasize how important it is to install an exterior front grill air-intake filter on your Model 3. It will save you a TON of work if you install the steel mesh filter on your car as soon as possible. 4. I changed the SSD used to record security alerts and Dash-Cam events on the car. I gave you a product recommendation for the SSD I used in a separate comment. 5. I added windshield washer fluid.

[@franklong6269]

It is virtually the same because the RWD Model 3 has a smaller 60 kW battery pack as opposed to the 83 kW battery pack on the AWD. I own a 2022 RWD Model 3 that I recently took on a 900 mile road trip. We typically were charging at stops around 15 minutes to get to 80%. At one stop I charged the car to 93% and it took a little over 20 minutes. Charge time from 0-80% is approximately 22-25 minutes. 0-100% is approximately 30 minutes. Because you're never charging from 0%, charge times on trips are incredibly quick. The max charging speed for the RWD is 170kW per hour. For the AWD it is 250kW per hour. But the charging times are pretty much the same because of the smaller battery in the RWD.
