Tesla Model 3 2025: Latest Specs, Features & Pricing Breakdown

The Model 3 electric sedan RWD and Long Range variants are differentiated by the drivetrain and battery pack.

The Model 3 rear-wheel drive (RWD) has a single-motor setup and is most efficient, while all-wheel drive Long Range gains more powerful dual-motors and a larger battery to yield more driving range.

The key difference is the Model 3 RWD has a lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery and can recharge at up to 170kW DC (with no charge limit), whereas the Long Range use a nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) pack and peaks at up to 250kW DC speeds (with a 90 per cent charge limit recommendation).

The 2024 Model 3 electric sedan variants share largely the same features as standard.
