Model 3 Long Range RWD?

[oldmanbm]

Had a lovely hour with Tesla Belfast on Saturday and loved my drive on a new Model 3 RWD. Much better car than my 2022 model but not twice as good! Do we know anything about the introduction of the Long Range RWD car for the British market? I know that they are much sought after in the older model.

How did you find the new seats? We found the ventilated seats less comfortable / harder / more perched than the older ones.

I was happy enough with them and loved the new steering wheel. Biggest problem seems to be Tesla's woeful trade-in valuation that automatically defaults to bottom book. My car was valued at a ridiculously low figure with 18,000 miles and like new inside and out. If Tesla can't match VW (against a new i7 estate) there is something badly wrong with their desire to retain customers.

I've found them the same from a 2020 SR to 2024 RWD.

Perhaps different in a Y then? Showroom Y very comfortable, demo 3 less cosseting

LR RWD is available in Europe but U.K. seems to be at the back of every queue with Tesla at the moment so don’t hold your breath.

Beginning to think that too ...

Only available to fleet orders, occasionally see some appear in stock from cancelled orders, but as a retail customer you cannot specifically order one.
