Model 3 RWD - standard or RWD?!

Hi all

I’m thinking of making a move from a c class merc to a Tesla Model 3. New to electric, but the road tax change is pushing me to pull the trigger before 1 April.

I’d got comfortable with the PCH cost of a M3 LR RWD, but the price went up today by £25 pm.

The increase isn’t a massive deal breaker, but it made me look again at models (particularly as I need to choose from current stock if I’m to guarantee it before 1 April and I want a fairly specific spec - blue with 19 inch wheels).

I only do about 600 miles a month. Charging at home isn’t a problem. So that got me thinking, do I really need a LR rather than standard.

I can live with the decrease in performance ( my current car is plenty fast enough and the standard is quicker than the merc) and I can’t see the reduced range being an issue for me.

Save for performance and range, I can’t see any difference between the long range and standard model t rear wheel drive. Is that right, or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance
