About Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2017-2019)

Detailed Descriptions

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2017-2019) is an all-electric rear-wheel drive sedan. It came out in 2017 replacing the older Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2024-…). Tesla stopped making the Long Range RWD in 2019 and replaced it with the Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD (2018-2023). You can still find Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2017-2019) on the used car market, with prices starting around $24,471.

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2017-2019) has a 78.8 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 313 mi on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 23.5 kWh per 100 miles (or 4.3 miles per kWh) — ranked №108 out of 695 electric vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2017-2019) achieves a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 5 seconds (placing it at №233 among 693 electric vehicles) and attains a maximum speed of 140 mph.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 239 kW (320 hp) and a torque of 310 lb-ft.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

Real-world range of the Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2017-2019) is 282–344 miles (ranked №108 out of 693 electric vehicles) — depending on several factors, including:

  • Speed: Higher speeds deplete the battery faster.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold and hot weather impacts range.
  • Terrain: Hilly or mountainous terrain reduces range.
  • Driving style: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
  • Use of features: Features like climate control and media system also affect range.

It's important to remember that these are just estimates, and your actual range may vary. It's always best to factor in these various factors when planning your trip and be prepared for potential charging stops.

Plan your trips using the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2017-2019) in the USA is equipped with a Tesla (NACS) charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 11.5 kW, which translates to roughly 44 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2017-2019) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 250 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use Green Cars Compare Charging Calculator.

How big is it? What are the dimensions (length, width, height)?

Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2017-2019) comes in the following dimensions:

  • Length: 184.8 in
  • Width: 82.2 in (including side mirrors) or 72.8 in (excluding side mirrors)
  • Height: 56.9 in
  • Wheelbase: 113.2 in (distance between the center of the front and rear wheels)
  • Curb weight: 3805 lbs (weight of the empty car, no people or cargo)
How much cargo space does it offer? Does it have a front trunk?

Behind the rear seats of the Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2017-2019), you'll find 19.8 cubic feet of storage space (ranked №235 out of 693 electric vehicles).

Folding down the rear seats expands the total cargo capacity to 43.6 cubic feet (ranked №399 out of 693 electric vehicles).

Frunk capacity: The front trunk is called a "frunk", and it offers an additional 3.1 cubic feet for storing small items.

Is it suitable for towing? What is the maximum towing capacity?

The car isn’t officially rated for towing.
