UPDATE: Turns out RWD Model Y is NOT LFP 🧐

I rented a rwd model 3 for a few weeks, and was surprised how fast it was when at a roll. I test drove a model y, and thought it was in chill mode it seemed so much slower than I remembered. Perhaps the my LR had a cold/hot battery pack however. Also could’ve been no longer sitting on the ground in m3. Sitting low gives the illusion you’re driving faster than you are

if it's LFP battery, it is equivalent to long range in daily use. Coz most long range owner only charge their battery 80% on daily use; and LFP can do 100%. So 330x80% = 264 standard range

I think the comparison should be between the standard model 3 vs Y. I picked up the base 3 to save as much money as I could but I really wanted the Y for the higher seating (more comfortable) and more space for my family and gear. While the $8, 000 price gap was just a bit too much of a gap, the $4000 difference would have pushed me toward the Y. Although I am still not clear on the battery type. I like the real world LFP usage and range vs the 80% charged of the others.

Had a long range Y as a loaner

I was surprised and ❤ AWD juice it had, coming from a 3 RWD which is quick enough for me

Has me considering the Y long range for my next purchase

Love my Model Y Long Range with the Acceleration Boost. A lot of fun on the Track. 😁👍💪

It's not just about saving time on a road trip. Someone who doesn't have home charging can avoid going to a SC by a few days more. LR can really help

The HEPA filter comes in handy when forest fires degrade air quality. You can still filter out a lot of the smoke without the HEPA filter just by turning on recirculating, but it’s obviously not as good as bioweapon defense mode.

RWD is a great retirement car or daily driver for smaller families. It has almost as much space as our Explorer. You can still camp in it (and better camping even with AC & heat all night long!).

The longer roadtrip times matters less in retirement vs cash savings upfront IMO.

7 seat not being allowed is likely a crash testing situation

I have a 3 long range 2021 and love it. Should I upgrade to the y for higher clearance and larger trunk? Or am I losing my mind....

[sloppyjoehillups]

I have the 4680 MY. Regretting not getting the LR for optional AB

In Canada standard 57999CAD Long Range 67999CAD Is really big difference for me 😂 if 4500 different I will choose Long range. But in Canada I choose standard.

I’m hoping for Model 2 or whatever it’s gonna be called to be available in my country

[antoinepageau]

Also, the LG batteries in the Long Range Model Y don't have a great charging curve (compared to the Panasonic batteries).

Stop here: Comment section is filled with a bunch of useless "reddit" style comments.

If the battery is the same LFP as the uk/europe model Y then i believe its a differant to the model 3 as it uses the BYD blade LFP battery

[ywuvmep]

I did a test drive recently. I asked if there was a difference in charging speed. They said they both charge to 80% in same time so equally fast 😂😂

Anyhow with recent price drop again i think will go for long range. Standard range feels slow now that im used to my model 3.

I am trade in my 2022 long range model 3 for new standard range model y. I think I would like more space for my dog

[Rudenbehr]

Both are beta tests for future cars 10 years from now that will have 700+ mi range.
