Overview

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2017-2019) is an all-electric rear-wheel drive sedan. It came out in 2017. Tesla stopped making the Long Range RWD in 2019 and replaced it with the Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD (2018-2023).

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2017-2019) has a 78.8 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 507 km on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 14.5 kWh per 100 km (or 6.9 km per kWh) — ranked №93 out of 824 electric vehicles.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2017-2019) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 239 kW (320 hp) of power and 420 Nm of torque.

This enables a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 5.3 seconds (№34 out of 118 ranked positions, among 824 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 225 km/h.

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

The estimated real-world range for Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2017-2019) is 507 km, ranking it №63 out of 334 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize 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 Europe is equipped with a CCS Type 2 (Tesla) 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 kW, which translates to roughly 68 km 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 our EV 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: 4695 mm
Width: 2088 mm (including side mirrors) or 1850 mm (excluding side mirrors)
Height: 1445 mm
Wheelbase: 2875 mm (distance between the center of the front and rear wheels)
Curb weight: 1726 kg (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 561 litres of storage space (№57 out of 192 ranked positions, among 824 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).

Folding down the rear seats expands the total cargo capacity to 1235 litres (№126 out of 185 ranked positions, among 824 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).

Frunk capacity: The front trunk is called a "frunk", and it offers an additional 88 litres for storing small items.

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

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD (2017-2019) can safely tow up to 910 kg, provided that the trailer has its own braking system.
