Tesla reportedly is discontinuing the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive version of the Model 3.
The Long-Range RWD was the first version of the Model 3, introduced in mid-2017. In recent months, Tesla removed the LR RWD and Standard Range RWD from the online design studio, offering the two only through direct call or visiting a Tesla store in person.
Now, it seems that LR RWD Model 3 will not be available anymore – at least temporarily – probably to simplify the production process.
The news comes from customers, via Jeremy Judkins’ video, who received info about the halt of LR RWD production at the Tesla plant.
The tesla Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive offered 325 miles (523 km) of EPA range, while the 0-60 mph acceleration of 4.9 seconds was not far from the AWD version (4.4 seconds).
