I would be interested in LR RWD version also, though it depends on the price for me, as my finances are somewhat limited.

I was looking at the car specs and am a little confused.
Design Your Model 3 | Tesla
and Design Your Model 3 | Tesla
SR+ range shows 240mi (386km)
LR AWD range 310mi (499km)
P AWD range 310mi (499km)
however: Design Your Model 3 | Tesla
SR+ range is 258mi (415km)
LR AWD range 348mi (560km)
P AWD range 329mi (529km)
How is the LR AWD and P AWD in US and Canada same range and in UK they have different range, and how are all the ranges in UK longer than in US and Canada? Do they have different ways of determining range in UK and what would they show for us in Australia?

dont we already pay for delivery? Do we have to pick up the car at the service center? the next service centre is millesss away for me.

yes, europe does not use EPA. they use a different cycle which rewards city driving and braking more heavily. EVs benefit heavily from that hence the high range.

Makes sense, so us here in Australia are stuck with longer distances over city driving, so we go under EPA?
I can see you are keen....but you will need to wait to see which versions australia gets. No-one knows yet. Only opinion is available.
Every country has its mandated method of reporting range / efficiency
Depends. Nissan uses WLTP for the Leaf here. Not sure what Hyundai uses for the Ioniq or Kona EV.

The moment you see the page partially loaded, click stop, then you'll be able to browse the UK version.

Eh, no the distance you can drive does not change. It is just the test cycle which changes. Most people do not use Teslas "ideal" range anyway (you can set that in the options) which for USA is EPA and for EU WLTP. They use Teslas own "typical" which is more pessimistic for highway driving but gives you a good range estimate if you hold a speed of i think 85kmh. At the end of the day it just changes the way the car displays the range.

I have no idea how they will deliver. I'm in the same boat as you. The closest service centre is 1400km away.

Not sure if these prices can be used directly. But that means £35,918 without their Tax or Grant, but including the Destination Fees (which might be about the same for us - about Au$1500).
So that's Au$66,641 before any of our Taxes, and Au$74,771 after GST and 2% QLD Stamp Duty for a SR+ without options
.That can't be right. Hopefully it's just late and my maths is wrong, or cars are more expensive in the UK (which I often thought was the case with ICE cars, when doing a direct conversion from UK prices quoted on eg. Top Gear or Fifth Gear).

For cars below the LCT threshold they often are, but quite the opposite for cars above the LCT threshold.
I have another question, no Apple CarPlay for Model 3? Needs annual subscription to get live traffic on Navigation or google map?
