Hopefully between us we can log all the key differences.

Unlike the M3 where the RWD gets an inferior audio system, there aren't any interior differences on the MY between RWD and LR.

Apart from the performance/range/max. charging rate/warranty improvements that you get with the bigger battery and extra motor, the only thing the LR has over the RWD is front fog lights.

I think I'm going to follow you with a MY SR order and like you, investigating the differences

Did you get that range difference from Bjorn videos? I just need to check location which I haven't done yet. Minimal range difference on his tracker but I need to check his LR video as that might have been Norway, versus SR video from Thailand at 30 degrees.

Does the SR have heated seats front and rear and heated steering wheel do you know? And are seats fully electric or any manual adjustment? I'm trying to figure out the differences between SR and LR from a feature perspective.

From a usable battery size point, it looks like LR ships with 70kwh usable versus 57kwh usable in the SR

Hopefully between us we can log all the key differences.

MYLR in the UK gets a usable 75kwh battery.

As a previous owner of a M3SR+ I’ve noticed that the LFP battery seems more susceptible to cold weather. My 55kwh would do 160-180miles in winter, with rain and cold. In summer it was 250-280miles.

The MYLR is 220miles winter on a motorway run and close to 300miles around town. In summer it’ll definitely be 300+. I’m seeing 4 miles pkwh out of the LR.

If you want a min 200 mile range in poor weather, the LR is the one to buy.

When researching my purchase I noted Bjorn Nylands range tests. MYLR at 90kmh winter was 281 and summer 306 (8% drop).

M3RWD was winter 251 to summer 300 (16% drop). I’d guess MYRWD would perform similar.

His MYLR range test was in Norway on a 70kwh battery so add another 5kwh and note it’s not like for like given the roads/weather in the MYRWD test he’s done.

Incase you didn’t spot in the shipping feed, I have now set up a new @Frizzy database to track orders. Feel free to add your configuration and track how other are doing. Links are in my Linktree After ordering your Tesla, shipping updates and news. Where is my Tesla | Linktree

Thanks for above
Guesstimate UK summer vs UK winter what you reckon the real world difference?

It’s worth considering that you’re brave to venture under 10% so these figures are over estimates of the available range. Driving under 10% is achievable but you’re average driver will be getting nervous.

 

[Utumno]

This info might help as well

Model Y RWD Tesla Model Y

Model Y LR Tesla Model Y Long Range Dual Motor

The “real range” figures are pretty sensible in my view.

I was due to get my Model Y LR on December 16 (2022) - However, since I was travelling at the time, I had to push back the delivery slot to the next shipment in 2023 - Looks like the situation worked very well in my favour, with new (£5k discounted) price reflecting on my Tesla account today.

My question to everyone waiting for a Tesla this quarter is whether quality of car would be impacted due to nearly 10% price slashing on Model Y LR?

It’s likely that your car was already loaded on a ship and heading to you before cuts were announced. So, no impact imo

Did the quality go up when the prices rose?

If not, why would the quality go down when the prices reduced?

Got the hidden VIN today, hopefully things start to speed up from here lol, like Tesla getting back to me about whether i'd be paying the new price or not lol

After the drop in APR (from 6.9% to 3.9%) and been told it can only be applied to new orders, I ordered again my MYLR Midnight Silver today. Got a visible VIN and a EDD straight away, earlier collection available was 21st Feb but opted for 3rd of March. Old order cancelled (ordered 13 Jan, still due for delivery 3rd March), lost £200 deposit but saved £4k over 4 years.

Did you go for 19’s or 20’s on the wheels?

You will not lose £200 if u keep referring to the UK laws on refunds

I’ve ordered exactly the same car today, my VIN is also showing and estimated delivery date between 15/2 and 2/3.

 

[Ricecooker]

I also cancelled my previous order and placed a new one due to the drop in APR. Got my £200 deposit refunded. Got a VIN a few hours later, I feel Tesla will lower prices again soon.

 

[ringi]

As Q1 tends to have lower demand I would not find it unexpected for Tesla to increase prices a little once sold out for Q1.

 

[Jwdrums]

Just test drove a my rwd today and the sales rep told us that the comfort suspension is not being shipped from Shanghai yet... Interested to know if that matches what others have been told/know?
