Its range numbers are different than <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/659488\/2023-tesla-model3-epa-range-prices\/\">the official 2023 EPA numbers<\/a>, which indicate that this is a completely different version, which was not even rated yet. <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/tesla\/\">Tesla<\/a> says that the range is estimated, rather than EPA estimated:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>New Tesla Model 3 LR AWD 18-inch: 325+ miles (523 km)<br \/>[33 miles or 9.2% less than the retired 2022 model year version &#8211; 358 miles]<\/li>\n<li>New Tesla Model 3 LR AWD 19-inch: 310+ miles (499 km)<br \/>[24 miles or 7.2% less than the retired 2022 model year version &#8211; 334 miles]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We don&#8217;t know the exact EPA Combined range of the new version &#8211; it&#8217;s expected to be at least 325 and 310 miles, depending on the wheel size &#8211; but something caused the noticeable decrease in range.<\/p>\n<p>The question is what and why? A lower battery capacity or a less efficient powertrain (assuming the same battery capacity)?<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the reason, the new Model 3 LR AWD now has a similar range as the Performance version &#8211; 315 miles (507 km) &#8211; which has bigger wheels (20-inch). That&#8217;s strange.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, the slightly bigger and heavier <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/tesla\/model-y\/\">Tesla Model Y<\/a> LR AWD has more range.<\/p>\n<section contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"special_image\" data-align=\"center\">\n<div class=\"spi_wrapper\"><a class=\"lightzoom\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/custom\/tesla-bev-lineup-20230503-range.png\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"custom-image\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/custom\/thumbnail\/tesla-bev-lineup-20230503-range.png\" alt=\"external_image\" width=\"891\" height=\"798\" loading=\"lazy\"\/> <\/a><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<h2><span class=\"arrow-holder\"><svg class=\"arrow-heading\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/design\/dist\/critical\/icons\/sprite-common-0-dc6b7de11d922cb73553899f27128303.svg#sqr-arrow\"\/><\/svg><\/span>Battery mystery<\/h2>\n<p>The next question then is the battery capacity and type (chemistry-wise and form factor-wise).<\/p>\n<p>Because of the uncompromised performance (0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds and 145 mph top speed) and weight of the vehicle (4,034 lbs), we thought that maybe it&#8217;s equipped with the all-new Tesla&#8217;s in-house 4680-type cylindrical battery cells.<\/p>\n<p>After all, the Tesla Model Y AWD (4680) has a lower battery capacity and 15 percent less range than the LR AWD (2170) version (279 miles vs. 330 miles). However, the car is not eligible for the full $7,500 federal tax credit, but only $3,750. It means that the car does not comply with one of the two requirements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>40%of the value of critical minerals need to be mined or processed in the United States (or FTA countries), or recycled in North America<\/li>\n<li>50% of the value of battery components must be manufactured or assembled in North America<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most likely, those are not locally produced 4680-type cylindrical battery cells. So maybe the battery cells are imported like in the case of the Tesla Model 3 RWD, powered by CATL&#8217;s prismatic LFP battery cells?<\/p>\n<p>Here is a problem with this idea. The range is higher by at least 53 miles (85 km), which is 19.5 percent more than the 272 miles in the RWD. That&#8217;s a substantial change. It would require some significantly improved LFP battery cells (<a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/658474\/report-catl-qilin-battery-series-production\/\">CATL&#8217;s new Qilin type or something?<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Is it possible to fit additional LFP cells (they have lower energy density than the NCA\/NCM used previously in the LR AWD version)? Some, like <em>Troy Teslike<\/em>, already suggest that it&#8217;s not possible because the Tesla Model 3 RWD was already fully packed with LFP cells. The conclusion then is superior LFP or a high-nickel chemistry.<\/p>\n<section class=\"embed-item\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"embed\" data-embed-code=\"%3Cblockquote%20class%3D%22twitter-tweet%22%20data-theme%3D%22dark%22%3E%3Cp%20lang%3D%22en%22%20dir%3D%22ltr%22%3EModel%203%20Long%20Range%20AWD%20is%20available%20again%20in%20the%20US%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FGwgrBYQ42a%22%3Ehttps%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FGwgrBYQ42a%3C%2Fa%3E%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3EIt%20must%20be%20using%202170%20cells%20because%20LFP%20cells%20fill%20up%20the%20pack%20completely%20even%20for%20the%20SR%20version.%20I%20think%20either%20the%20car%20or%20the%202170%20cells%20are%20imported%20because%20the%20tax%20credit%20is%20%243%2C750%20instead%20of%20%247%2C500%3C%2Fp%3E%26mdash%3B%20Troy%20Teslike%20(%40TroyTeslike)%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FTroyTeslike%2Fstatus%2F1653634950984351748%3Fref_src%3Dtwsrc%255Etfw%22%3EMay%203%2C%202023%3C%2Fa%3E%3C%2Fblockquote%3E%20%3Cscript%20async%20src%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Fplatform.twitter.com%2Fwidgets.js%22%20charset%3D%22utf-8%22%3E%3C%2Fscript%3E%20\">\u00a0<\/section>\n<p>The third option would be that the new Tesla Model 3 LR AWD is equipped with 2170-type battery cells (NCA\/NCM), from some other supplier (rather than Panasonic\/Tesla Giga Nevada), and those cells are also imported or materials for them are imported.<\/p>\n<p>It would mean, by the way, that the Tesla Giga Nevada&#8217;s battery production is insufficient and forced to use lower energy-dense batteries from abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>old: 2170-type NCA from Panasonic\/Tesla Giga Nevada<\/li>\n<li>new:<br \/>2170-type imported<br \/>LFP imported<br \/>4680-type<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"arrow-holder\"><svg class=\"arrow-heading\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/design\/dist\/critical\/icons\/sprite-common-0-dc6b7de11d922cb73553899f27128303.svg#sqr-arrow\"\/><\/svg><\/span>Prices<\/h2>\n<p>Another confusing thing about the Tesla Model 3 LR AWD is its pricing, which combined with only a $3,750 federal tax credit, puts it in an awkward position against other Tesla models.<\/p>\n<p>The old version in 2022 was available for around $57,990 (+DST). The new one starts at $47,240 ($1,640 of obligatory costs), which after deducting the federal tax credit is $45,130.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a big positive because we are talking about a 25 percent or so cost decrease and a much faster delivery time (estimated in June 2023 for new orders).<\/p>\n<p>However, because <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/665055\/us-tesla-model-3y-prices-may2023\/\">other Tesla cars are currently also less expensive<\/a>, the question is how the new Model 3 LR AWD is supposed to compete internally with the Performance version or the Tesla Model Y (both eligible for $7,500 federal tax credit)?<\/p>\n<p>Tesla accustomed us to various price changes, but we have not seen anything like that. One can simply order a Model Y LR AWD with 330 miles of range for effectively $44,380 (more car for a similar cost and potentially a higher price when selling it after some time).<\/p>\n<section contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"special_image\" data-align=\"center\">\n<div class=\"spi_wrapper\"><a class=\"lightzoom\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/custom\/tesla-bev-lineup-20230503-prices.png\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"custom-image\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/custom\/thumbnail\/tesla-bev-lineup-20230503-prices.png\" alt=\"external_image\" width=\"902\" height=\"827\" loading=\"lazy\"\/> <\/a><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>Confusion is the right word for today.
