Interesting review. I currently have a 3.5 year old Model 3 Long Range. One thing I consider is the residual value after say 4 years of ownership. The LR should be worth more when I come to sell it. Maybe 4k more? Therefore over the 4 years, the ‘real’ cost is an extra 6k that would give me faster 0-60, longer range, better stereo and 4WD. Plus the battery range will degrade over time so the real world range will remain stronger. On this basis I’d go for LR again. Happy to be challenged on these numbers!

Very useful! Saving the 10k! Thanks to converting to kWh/100 km
@currentconversationsalex
I’ve got a Model Y LR and have been using an i4 and Polestar 2 for work for approx 5k miles each. Just had the new Model 3 RWD for a week demo. It’s incredible and definitely the best value car on the market
@gfusion
Having done about 200 mile testing on the Highland SR the fact that it will outrange my 2020 M3P supposed "Long Range AWD" by some margin just shows you how much things have changed in the land of Tesla efficiency 😅 Still love it though, but credit where credit is due!
@SergeiFedorov77
Even though the visual improvements of the new 3 are subtle they have vastly improved the looks of this car. It looks really, really good!
@mconnah1
In my Highland LR, I drove around country roads in Wales at the speed limits of mostly 50/60 with the usual 30mph villages, at 10°C with 60% charge and ended up with 191Wh per mile, or a calculated range of 393 miles, which is a bit crazy… 220Wh per mile on the motorway…
@vecsy90
For company car and for people who drive long distance very often, the LR model worth the extra £10k. Also, in countries with snow, the AWD LR could be crucial. For me, the SR Highland consumes 14% battery during a 70km daily commute. I got 3,500km in 2 months and the avergae consumption is 12,9kwh/100km. That's 450km range on a single charge in average. I've not used superchargers yet. Only charging in my garage at 16A 3,6kw/h (slowest possible wall charger). I don't even need an expensive higher capacity wall charger. In 8 hours during the night it charges 45% which covers 3 days of my commute. I've already saved over €200 on petrol. Insurance a little bit higher but there's no road tax and annual maintenance. So for people like me it's a no brainer to have an EV. Fast, quite, comfortable, cheap to run. Thanks for the video, it shows I've made the right decision with the SR 😊
@vhol93
Awesome, thanks for mentioning the audio in SR !
@arranparkinson6271
Thankyou for another great video, keep up the good work, haven't found anyone else who give such clear analysis with a complete unbias . I wish you guys all the best.
@alancobbin
Definitely worth getting the standard range for my personal preference,not to mention in summer 5mile per kWh would easily be achievable,cheers guys 👍😉💪
@Jaw0lf
Thanks for doing this comparison, it looks like the standard range is a good increase and near 300 mile in the real world tests. I would choose the standard range as it is not often that I need the extra range and it would be far quicker than my current Kia E Niro.
@taskin1379
Switched from 22 m3p to 24 lr. 24 lr is the best car i've driven. Highland is a totally different experience. I love it. Definitely recommend it.
@wakeywarrior
Good video, I have been waiting for this one. I have the 2022 LFP and as proven on my tests on my channel, I get 280+ miles in half decent weather at normal motorway speeds on long journeys. The RWD is more efficient. Big advantage is charge to 100% each time. I think for £10k less, the LR is a ‘hard sell’ for most. My 2022 RWD is a fantastic car, I prefer it to my 2018 S. I drive everywhere no issue, distance is not a problem in the RWD. Looks like the new one may get slightly more miles, but not much. I actually find the audio in my 2022 RWD fantastic, better than the enhanced audio in the S. Nice to hear this one may be even better.
@paulhilling6208
Great video just what we needed ! Cheers guys best Ev channel on YouTube
@markdawson4625
Thank you Richard for a real world comparison proving that both versions are vastly more efficient than its rivals. A certain well known motoring magazine should take tips from you guys on how to compare
@johnbev2336
Another great video Richard, great comparison . I love watching your videos.
@tomstringer3951
Thanks Richard and team another great video. The SR is all the car I would need as it enables me to drive home non stop (most of the time) from my daughter near Chester and Gatwick. I also road trip once a year to my son in Zurich so I’d probably only need charge Reims and Nancy in summertime.
@supersonic79
Ridefinement is important 😉 Standard Range seems like more than enough car for most people. Good test 👍🏻
@UK-Cycling
Great comparison, thanks Richard and Gints. SR for me; a better battery and my bladder can’t last the extra 120kms🤣Best regards Martin
