Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive combines a segment-leading range of 394 miles (WLTP) with highest charging convenience, at an entry-level price point from \u00a346,990.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That\u2019s a Model 3 with a Long Range battery pack, but it only has a single rear-wheel-drive motor instead of two motors like the current Model 3 Long Range.<\/p>\n<p>At \u00a346,990 (~$58,500 USD), it\u2019s \u00a34,000 more expensive than the base Standard Range and \u00a34,000 cheaper than the regular Long Range AWD.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s going to be Tesla\u2019s longest-range Model 3 yet with 394 miles of WLTP range.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s only available through Tesla\u2019s business-to-business division.<\/p>\n<p>Bowen commented:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\" readability=\"6\">\n<p>\u201cThis vehicle is available to order through our B2B channels with deliveries set to commence in June.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And it only appears to be available in the UK for now.<\/p>\n<p>It might be because there are strong incentives for electric vehicles to be purchased through businesses in the UK, including the company car tax being capped at 2% rather than the regular 20% to 37%, depending on the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses can claim a 100% year-one deduction for the cost of the vehicle, among several other incentives.<\/p>\n<p>These incentives have led to many people buying electric vehicles through businesses in the UK. It\u2019s not clear if Tesla plans to offer the new model variant in other markets or through other channels than its business fleet division.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-disclaimer-container\" readability=\"6.3518518518519\">\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\"><em>FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/about\/#affiliate\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3MbCaQw\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-874216 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/04\/P221126450_WCX_trade_ads_750x150.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"150\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesla announced that it is making a new version of the Model 3 with the Long Range battery pack and a single RWD motor, but it\u2019s only available to businesses in the UK.
