Long Range is up to 341 miles with the 18 inch wheels, but craters to 305 with the 19 inchers. I don’t remember the difference being that vast before

Nice! Surprised to see range for RWD is unchanged at 272 mi, and top speed for both models reduced to 125 mph from 140.

pretty large range difference between 18" and 19" now.....are there any articles out there on what battery is in this?

people say I don't want to buy Tesla without stalk but it's selling like hot cakes in China & Europe.

There is no mention of the Federal Tax Credit so I’m assuming it’s not eligible. Only the first generation Performance Model 3 appears to qualify. This might make it a tough sell when the Model Y is being discounted aggressively right now and is eligible for the full credit.

Still qualifies for leases. Select lease option and see 7500 off.

Top speed is reduced to 125 mph....

Tax credit still there for leases. Tesla leases remain non purchasable at termination.

Tesla Model 3 Highland leases qualify for IRA tax credit loophole

Tesla Model 3 Highland leases are more affordable thanks to a loophole in the Inflation Reduction Act about commercial vehicles.

Battery and motors are unchanged compared to before

Tires were changed. If it’s similar to the china/EMEA models.

344 miles EPA sounds great.... just wonder how much you'll really see at 70mph and 100% to 0% test. 270 miles?

as comparison - similar sized Ioniq 6 (which i think looks pretty ugly) is getting pretty much close to its EPA estimate.

so while 344 miles sounds terrific on paper - curious to see how it stacks up in real world range against Ioniq 6 , Mach E

Standard no limit change 272 - AWD 341 - No performance. No change in price

I'd be curious to know as well. The interstate speed limits here in NC along I-85 and I-40 are 65 to 70 mph, depending on the location. When I travel to Baltimore from NC along I-95, it's mostly 70 mph. I know some people here like to make it seem like we're complaining when we say that EPA ratings should reflect how we drive today, but I think it's a valid concern. And EPA numbers should match that reality.

Constant 70 - 75-ish MPH driving with the flow of traffic on the interstate is the norm, not the exception (at least if you live on the East Coast).

I don't see the $7,500 credit with lease (TX). The LR is showing $583/mo @ 36 months with 0 down, before taxes and fees.

EDIT: I see it now, listed at the top of the page saying it's already applied to the monthly payment. It's just not listed in the price breakdown. Which means these lease terms aren't great. Give it time...

Right!!! Also the Performance is actually cheaper without the tax credit! However the bumper refresh is a game changer...looks much cleaner.

The first gen M3P is currently $45,890 for inventory in So Cal, less the $7,500 credit. Incredible deal if you don’t mind the first gen model.

272/248 mi range for RWD with 18"/19" wheels.
341/305 mi range for LR with 18"/19" wheels.
P is MIA but I'd suspect it will be around 275-285 mi with its 20s when/if it hits.

I bet the tires are different causing much of the difference. If its just wheels, that would be a pretty big penalty.
