This is one of the best comparisons that I've seen, thank you so much! I haven't seen anyone compare all of these little tidbits that often aren't mentioned about the premium interior. Bonus points for twin power!! ^^

[@TeslaPhotographer]

Thanks so much!!

[@Josh-179]

Kinda glad you get more than "just" the bigger battery and dual motor AWD when moving up considering the steep price difference. I actually wasn't aware the standard range was missing all those other features usually not talked about.

[@CharlieOliverBates]

I got my 2020 Long Range Dual Motor for $5,100 less from Tesla because it was returned by a guy who only put 143 miles on it. Pretty much a brand new car. Definitely ask a sales rep if they have any “used” cars in their inventory.

[@jnaigaither7982]

I didn’t know the Standard Range increased to 250 mile range from 220 and decreased 0-60 to 5.3 sec from 5.9. that’s awesome! If it’s that good, there’s literally no reason for the Standard Range Plus, and that’s probably the next variant Elon’s gonna axe.

[@TeslaPhotographer]

True, we never know what’s going to change or get deleted. Like the Mid range lol. I think this configuration is staying (SR,LR,performance) mostly because all the other car models are the same now

[@erlyszavala]

He meant SR+. SR is still the stats you named

[@daniellee4551]

Hi guys can you comment on enjoyment to drive and differences in audio systems ?

[@TeslaPhotographer]

Both are amazing to drive. Both feel a little different but still enjoyable. Overall the audio in the SR+ is slightly less quality since there’s less speakers but I almost can’t even tell a difference. I’m not the biggest audio guy so maybe others can chime in as well but overall it sounds insanely good to me

[@JarredSutherland]

AWD vs RWD doesn't matter. If you're driving with tires not meant for snow you're doing it wrong. A RWD with purpose made snow tires will best an AWD with all weather tires every single time.

I really feel like the only true difference that really matters is the battery size. All the other differences are really just "nice to have" but in no way worth the SR+ -> Long Range price difference. Well, maybe the 4WD part makes a serious difference in snowy areas, but otherwise range is all that matters.

I have had a lot of cars in my time and I would never pay thousands and thousands extra to have a bigger fuel tank that seems like a bad spenditure of money

[@Lawlsforlawls]

So EV manufacturers should just eat the cost of extra battery cells because you're stupid? That's just how electric cars work. You pay for the convenience of extra range & time saved charging, as well as get more hp. Also, people do pay thousands more for "a bigger fuel tank", its called hybrid vehicles that give 500+ miles per tank.

[@gvmd-jr8bs]

I would add that AWD is also awesome in the rain. You can’t beat the traction that AWD gives you in the wet when pulling away from a light/stop sign.

[@TeslaPhotographer]

Yes thank you! I made a vid on how well it does too

[@Unimaginable]

Drove a rear wheel drive through 40 winters. I don't need no stinking four wheel drive. We love or M3 SR+. Could not justify $10K for 60+ extra miles of range. The only thing we missed were the floor mats, so we bought some.

[@TeslaPhotographer]

Great info thank you :)

[@blueplanet1048]

I want the dual for the range other wise I have driven rear wheel drives in winter with 0 issues all you need is a good set of winter tires and it's perfect. But here in Canada the difference between SR+ and dual is over $15000 because of the $5000 incentive you get from federal government. So I want a dual motor but the difference in price is huge I don't think it's worth it.

[@rlb2444]

[@Serge0329]

What about efficiency?

[@ArtIrwin]

This was informative. Thanks! I’m on the verge of ordering a Model 3, but I’m really on the fence about SR+ versus LR. My main concern is actual usable range on the SR+. What is your real world available range in the SR+ in the summer heat when you unplug in the morning and leave the house? By that I mean… assuming you don’t charge above 80-90% and don’t let it get below 10% or so (is that a safe assumption?), what is your usable range between those percentages? I ask because it seems like the Model Y has a real world range closer to 80% of the claimed range… and then when you set an 80% max charge limit, you’re at 80% of 80% which isn’t great if the same thing is true of a Model 3 SR+. Did that make sense? Thanks in advance.

[@TeslaPhotographer]

Hey! Most of the time we end up charging our SR+ to around 90%. The sr should be able to handle most of your daily driving even at 80% as long as your in and around town. My brother drives about 15 miles each way to work plus another let’s say 25 miles evening driving and he seems to have good range after. But definitely needs to charge every night or close to it. You should be good as long as you’re not doing close to 150 miles per day of course take into account your charge limit and other outside conditions that may effect efficiency

[@noahhuckleby6517]

I’m going to save now for my model 3 long range fsd Tesla since I’m 17 but I’ll be 18 in a couple months. Anyone how much do you recommend saving up for a loan down payment because I want to get one of these quickly but don’t screw myself with the payments?

[@TeslaPhotographer]

It all depends on your income and credit. 20k down is a pretty solid amount but the payments are still high maybe around $650 USD thats just a guess though

[@epiphany271]

You're not going to like this, but I think it's the only real responsible answer here: the last thing you should be doing right as you turn into an adult is put yourself in unnecessary debt. There's practically no good reason to go into 30-50k of debt for a luxury car like a Tesla right out of the gates. It's going to hinder your ability to do anything else in the next 4-6 years. If you are absolutely dead set (you shouldn't be), or have a lot more money than 99% of other 18 yr olds for some reason (in which case you should be putting that money towards a house or retirement) then I would say the absolute minimum down payment would be at least 25k. If you have some sort of inheritance, or you're actually a young business owner (which is unlikely since you're asking about financial advice in KZbin comments) then that would be the minimum: 25k. If you really want an electric car, consider a 2017-2019 Nissan Leaf. But one of the best things you could do is pay cash for an older Corolla or Civic and save your money for more important things.

You can just buy floor mats. I believe they offer them on the tesla website. That's what I did but they offered it to me when I was going to pick up my Standard Range+

[@CFG39]

I really wish LR RWD would be available again. While the SR+ is rated at 250 miles, you’ll struggle to hit that number at highway speed. The LR models have a pack that’s 50% larger than the SR model, but it’s only 15% more expensive and it will much more easily hit its range target.

[@TeslaPhotographer]

Me too I really loved the long range rwd

[@lancepompe7029]

I feel kind of lucky to have bought one of the last of the LR RWD cars Tesla made. Was great value for the range and full premium interior but I was also one of he last buyers to pay $1500 for the white paint! Although performance is great, I think I would pay the $4000 extra for the dual motor if I could go back to the time I bought it just for the extra kick and more even tire wear.

[@CFG39]

Lance Pompe what I find funny is the “full premium interior” vs. partial premium interior. There’s literally no difference that anyone can see. Tesla should have done something like included HomeLink, SiriusXM, ventilated seats, etc. on the “premium” interior. The few very minor differences are really software exclusions which is the dumbest thing ever in my book. I agree, the LR RWD was an awesome model for people that don’t care about the extra performance of AWD. A RWD car on snow tires can do pretty decent in winter too. We also paid $1500 for white on our LR AWD car in June 2019. I ordered a white Performance after white became free but there was a bottleneck in production of white cars. I was told it would be anywhere from 8-12 weeks to get the car instead of the 2 weeks I was told initially. I ended up settling for a black P but I had to pay $750 for black paint (I regret this immensely). The black paint sucks. I’ve got literally thousands of rock chips in my paint in just 12 months. It appears the black paint is so thin that there’s no way to avoid damage except a full PPF (I don’t have $3500 to throw at plastic paint protection film). The entire car will have to be repainted within the next 2-3 years. I’ve never owned a car with worse paint.

[@2n1ce]

How much of a difference in acceleration do you actually feel between the two?

[@TeslaPhotographer]

Quite a bit the dual motor really kicks harder. I notice the sr feels very limited compared to each other. That being said. If I didn’t have a dual motor to compare, the Sr feels pretty fast though

[@2n1ce]

EVlectric interesting. I’m test driving both tomorrow and really was hoping there wasn’t that much of a difference in the acceleration because to me that’s the most fun part of the car. Would you say the difference in range is noticeable in real world (having some fun with acceleration, etc.) driving?

[@TeslaPhotographer]

Tamir Dayya the range difference is noticeable in longer drives but of our couple months of ownership of the sr, so far we’ve had no issues with the range. Even when we did long drives. We both charge at the same chargers never having the sr stop early and charge because it’s lower range

[@TeslaPhotographer]

Tamir Dayya please comment and let us know how the test drives go!

[@2n1ce]

EVlectric That’s super valuable to hear, thank you. I’ll probably be ordering one tomorrow, do you guys have a referral link for supercharger miles? Last question, is either one more fun to drive? Figured the argument for the SR+ would be the light weight maneuverability, and for the LR would be increased torque but curious based on your ownership.
