Tesla has discontinued the 260-mile RWD Model Y and replaced it with a Long Range RWD option that is priced $3,000 lower than the AWD option. But, since the range is only marginally better than the AWD version, is the AWD version a better choice?

I am still glade I got the RWD last month and will do the range upgrade if/when it comes. The decision for me was due to insurance. My insurance company wanted $572 to add a dual motor and $170 for the rwd on a six month policy. Now I can get the range and not the insurance increase. I am in FL so I don’t need awd, my hearing isn’t great (stereo) and it is fast enough for me. So I will save $3k over the dual motor, $804 a year insurance ( never ends) and about 10 miles extra miles (over dual motor) for $2k.
Mine was like 85$ more per month for the awd glad I got the rwd LR
Great comparison!
you changed my mind. thanks for the thoughtful analysis.
I am glad this video was helpful!
very helpul, thanks
Still prefer LR RWD due to lower price and slightly longer range. it snows rarely in my city anyway.
Good video. Re LR RWD range (7:20) I was very surprised as well that the range improvement is only 10 miles compared to the AWD.
Thank you that was really helpful. I was wondering what the difference was between the rear wheel vs AWD
Could you share a link where we can find all the features? I can't find it on the Tesla site...
Great video, keep up the good work.
so. getting back to the earnings call. The "new models" that are an evolution of the current vehicles are:
1. Long range RWD model y
2. Possibly a long range RWD of the tesla model 3 refresh (which will probably get the newest catl lfp batteries for the shanghai factory, but I am not sure what will be used in the US factories)
Agreed, we went with the AWD for the more premium situation
AWD is a must in the Pacific Northwest.
I should have watched your video before ordering, but the biggest factor for my decision was one you didn’t mention that I got from another channel, which is that the dual motor charges faster, max 250 as opposed to 170 for the RWD. As I live in an apartment with no chance of home charging, this will cut down on my time hanging out at Superchargers, and is better for road trips too. Dual motor ordered.
The comparison in Sound system is not between LR RWD and LR AWD is it?
Isn’t it correct that both LR versions have the premium soundsystem or is that dependent on year of production?
I would love to see a comparison chart between the two LR versions - including Sound system and batteri chemistry
the real different is your insurance on the RWD and the LR. more mile or less mile is all depend on how you drive, the weather of your place hot or cold, even the weather of the day you drive the vehicle. Chose the AWD so you can get the sound system all the time, but the cost is more. you pay to play.
Jon do you have any rumors about juniper? I’m so worried
Can you charge the Rwd LR to 100% regularly?
The part of this video that talks about the "Features" comparison is somewhat INCORRECT. While the Range Stats are correct (pre-EPA update - now 310 miles) it appears the reviewer has mistakenly used the feature list of the previous "Standard Range" RWD model Y for his comparison. The new 2024 Model Y LR RWD is exactly the same as the Model Y LR AWD in every way, except that it does not have the Dual Motor. It does include the premium sound system and anything/everything else the AWD would come with standard. I have checked and then double-checked this with my Tesla advisor after watching this video. To be fair to the reviewer, Tesla has not made this information readily available anywhere on their website. Other than that, thanks for the comparison!
If you go to the Tesla design studio with the RWD model selected and click on "Feature Details" under the interior section, you Tesla still lists those feature differences that I mentioned in the video. I am not sure who is wrong, Tesla advisors, or Tesla's website. Keep us posted when you actually take delivery.
Thank you for pointing that out. If I had to guess, I bet you are right since they have it in writing on the website. My sales associate must be blowing smoke to sell a car. Apparently the European versions that started being delivered last month have all the bells and whistles on the LR RWD.
Premium speakers with no external amplifier. No speakers in the rear hatch and the A pillar and mirror speaker also don't work.
@@AstroBooth have you received your vehicle yet? I ordered a LR rw model y and thinking of changing it to awd after seeing this video 😬
@@ElDoradoSin1I have not. I’ve been approved for financing but waiting to call Tesla Insurance tomorrow to see if I can find out the difference in insurance cost on the AWD version. I may upgrade as well.
Funny thing.. I just canceled my RWD Y for an AWD for some of the same reasons you stated. Not all.. didnt know all of them but enough made me rethink the 3K delta. My difference was less.. about 2K difference because I found in inventory a demo with 0 miles at a slight discount :)
demo with 0miles? lies 😂
Listed as a demo. Slight discount. It actually had 5 miles when I picked it up and that it what it says on the odometer dmv paperwork. I think it was new and to be used a demo but for whatever reason, didn’t
I just ordered my long range RWD with Gemini wheels which gives you the most range 320 miles , and the extra cost is not worth it if you ask me. I live in CA and it never snows where I live so why would I pay more for AWD? Plus I drive a lot and don’t want to have to get a set of 4 new tires every year. Also insurance is cheaper on RWD . I’m buying this vehicle to put more money in my pocket not to show off. 😂
I ordered the 2024 LR RWD based just for round town driving and commuting, but after reading and comparing to the AWD, i discovered that with $3K more, you'll get AWD, premium sound system (pretty important to me lol) and some other stuff... which I was thinking if I was wanting to upgrade the sound system, it'll cost me, plus without the AWD).
I live in the San Francisco bay area, we don't get snow, barely any rain, but there are time when the AWD does come in handing when driving through curvy roads. I didn't factor the insurance... prays lol! I do drive a 2022 MDX Type S for weekend, and long distance driving.
@@Cherries01 exactly you didn’t factor the insurance and you got a vehicle with features you can’t really use. Hoping for snow in SF is like trying to get a man pregnant. Goodluck with that .
So those of us who don’t care to unlock it should have a very healthy battery long term?
I bet the rwd come much closer to the real world range estimates vs the awd
I shared two tests in the video and that doesn't appear to be the case.
After only watching into. My answer. Buy the one with LFP or wait until LFP is available. Of course I drive 80,000 mile per year, so I'm in that category.
He never mentioned which battery chemistry. So I'll stick with my 2023 model 3 std range LFP.
Can you redo this video comparison with the 0.99% rate?
doesnt matter.. the .99% applies to both versions. I just canceled my RWD for an AWD in inventory so no wait. It worked out to be about 25 dollars a month more for the AWD. I decided it was worth it for the bells and whistles plus the extra performance
I got a Model Y last week, rear wheel drive with a standard range of 260miles. Since I want the cheapest and less monthly payment available. But when I picked it up the actual car has a “DUAL MOTOR” in the back. I am so confused. I asked a couple of Tesla agents, but they were just as confused as me.
Please update us on this 😮
I wanted an EV to hand down to the kids ‘one day’. No way am I handing those boys a car with < 5 sec 0-60 times. AWD was out on that basis ( and it was much cheaper last year).
I did that. Son happy, wife happy son is safe
I got my 18 year old a M3 and locked into chill mode. Works fine :)
If you need to precondition to super charge, the single motor can only "warm up" the back of the battery, so the dual motor would charge faster in the cold than, correct?
What about insurance cost?
I haven’t paid extra
There was a $402 difference per six months for me when I bought my rwd model Y ($172) last month compared to the dual motor ($572). I guess that faster 0-60 has been getting people in trouble.
Doesn't make sense why you can't have the upgraded stereo as an option for the standard range.
I agree it would be nice if you could upgrade.
i never understood how you get more range with more weight in a dual motor. it never made sense.
Software limited range in the lesser model
Bigger battery
The 2,999 down for the lease ends up being over 5K due at signing. Read the fine print.
I have never recommended leasing (I have two videos explaining why leasing is a bad deal).
@@Cleanerwatt we have here, for a limited time, lease with 0.0% DAE (Switzerland). Is this still a bad deal?
The rwd version has the better battery that can be charged to full without degradation.
The USA RWD battery pack is the same Na chemistry as the LR pack. The Shanghai built RWD Model Y's do have LFP packs.
Elmo puts milage behind a paywall: what a greedy turd.
dont get it... in europe, declared range Y LR AWD 533km (330 miles) and LR RWD 600km (370 miles)
Does that mean long range Rwd is close to 345+ mile real world range??
3K less for a slower car with worse grip and reduced tech? Pretty dumb, it should be at least 6K less
More like, no subwoofer and no plastic shelf. Save $3K, worth it!
You could get a banger after market subwoofer + amp for wait less than $3K
Awd will eat through tires faster
