3 month owner of a 2021 SR+ NCA. At the time I ordered in June 2021, with a $10K price difference before taxes, the SR+ was clearly the value leader, the one that depreciates the least, the lightest, and the most efficient. I said it then, and say it now - that Tesla fails to adequately differentiate the interior of the Model 3 between the trim levels.
Now as of November 2021, I would get a LR AWD version given:
1) Now a $6K price difference.
2) New SR+ (now just called Model 3) is now over 200 pounds heavier and has a 0-60 of 5.8 seconds (1/2 second SLOWER than mine). 5.8 vs 4.2 seconds is a HUGE difference - although I will readily admit that (a) driving in traffic there are few opportunities to use it and (b) when accelerating at speed the difference is less.
3) AWD traction
4) Better factory sound
5) Heated rear seats/steering wheel/ambient lights.
6) Faster Level 2 and Level 3 charging.
7) Floor mats - although I'd replace the carpet ones with aftermarket all weather anyway.
Would I sell my 2021 SR+ NCA for a 2022 LR AWD? No way! I'm happy with what I have, and given the price increases and resale values, I could literally drive the car for free for at least a year - even after factoring in sales taxes.
