The rear-wheel-drive 830km-range Model 3 has finally arrived! 

Nowadays, the best-selling versions of many pure electric vehicles are often the rear-wheel-drive long-range models. Compared to the strong power of all-wheel drive, long range is the real pain point when people choose electric vehicles. Previously, Tesla offered either rear-wheel-drive standard range or all-wheel-drive long-range models, which left some people a bit indecisive. But now, the rear-wheel-drive long-range Model 3 is finally here!

On the morning of August 12th, Tesla officially announced the launch of the Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, with a starting price of 269,500 yuan. Like the all-wheel-drive long-range version, it is equipped with a 78kWh battery, has a CLTC range of 830km, and can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 5.2 seconds. Meanwhile, the range of the all-wheel-drive high-performance Model 3 has also been upgraded to 647km.

Currently, purchasing specific Tesla models can enjoy summer special benefits, including a five-year interest-free loan, an 8,000 yuan paint option discount, an 8,000 yuan limited-time insurance subsidy, a choice of three exclusive charging benefits, and free transfer of smart driving assistance. The Model 3 rear-wheel-drive standard range, rear-wheel-drive long range, and all-wheel-drive long range can enjoy all the above benefits, while the Model 3 all-wheel-drive high-performance version only enjoys the 8,000 yuan paint option discount + a choice of three exclusive charging benefits + free transfer of smart driving assistance.

After this adjustment, the rear-wheel-drive long-range Model 3 is undoubtedly the star. Tesla calls it a marathon runner, which is quite appropriate. After all, Tesla's energy consumption level has always been well-known, and it has shown excellent performance in various range tests. With the 830km long range, you can really drive with ease.

However, the price of this rear-wheel-drive long-range version is a bit on the high side. You see, before the price adjustment in July, the Model 3 Long Range All-Wheel Drive was priced at 275,500 yuan, with only a 6,000 yuan difference. If I had the same amount of money, I would definitely choose the all-wheel-drive version!

Moreover, compared to the rear-wheel-drive standard range version, the new rear-wheel-drive long-range Model 3 only has an improvement in range. There is no upgrade in the sound system, nor is there suede interior. Yet, it is 34,000 yuan more expensive than the rear-wheel-drive standard range. This price difference is still quite significant. So, overall, although the 830km long range is really tempting, you should still stay calm before making an impulsive purchase and consider whether you really need to pay so much extra for the long range.
