Model 3 Long Range
The Tesla Model 3 Long Range features dual-motor all-wheel-drive system with 194kW rear motor producing 340 Nm torque and 137kW front motor producing 219 Nm torque powered by 82.0kWh usable battery capacity (85.3kWh gross), achieving 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds with EPA-estimated range of 353 miles (WLTP 445 miles) at 233 km/h top speed. Electric drivetrain eliminates traditional transmission using single-speed reduction gearing, with regenerative braking system recovering energy during deceleration and sophisticated thermal management optimizing battery longevity across ambient temperature ranges.
Model 3 Long Range represents Tesla mainstream volume production strategy balancing performance with practical range capability, becoming best-selling electric vehicle globally through combination of accessible pricing relative to Model S/X flagship sedans, extensive Supercharger network enabling long-distance travel feasibility, and regular over-the-air software updates adding features post-purchase. The dual-motor configuration provides winter traction capability and enhanced acceleration over single-motor variants while maintaining efficiency through torque distribution optimization, establishing benchmark for premium compact sedan segment transitioning toward electrification with range anxiety mitigation and charging infrastructure maturity driving mass-market adoption trajectory.
