Tesla has launched a new addition to its Model 3 line-up for Europe, the Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive available in Ireland from €39,990, writes Trish Whelan. Offering a range of 700km (WLTP) and a consumption of 12.5kWh per 100km, it is the longest-range Model 3 ever and the most efficient Tesla vehicle built to date. Tesla also claim it is the most efficient EV available in Europe at the moment.
Tesla say with the new 700km range, a single charge will sustain more than a week of commutes and point out that the Model 3 L/R RWD can travel a full kilometre on the energy it takes to heat a frozen meal in a microwave. This means that future owners will be able to drive further per euro spent on charging.
It is capable of a 0-100km/h time of 5.2 secs; has a top speed of 210km/h, and a claimed energy consumption of from 20.1 kWh/100km.
Customer deliveries begin in November.
