2 Answers
The Tesla Model 3 is rear-wheel drive. The Tesla Model 3 is an electric vehicle series under the Tesla brand, with dimensions of 4694mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1443mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2875mm. The Tesla Model 3 can achieve a range of up to 400 kilometers on a single charge. Tesla is an American electric vehicle and energy company, primarily engaged in the production and sales of electric vehicles, solar panels, and energy storage equipment. Tesla's vehicle lineup includes: Tesla Roadster, Tesla Model S, Tesla Model X, Tesla Model Y, and the base version Tesla Model 3.
Tesla Model 3 has different drivetrain configurations across its versions: The entry-level Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) version uses a single motor at the rear. I've driven this version, and the steering feels particularly light—you need to be cautious about speed control in rainy conditions. The dual-motor version features all-wheel drive, with an additional motor crammed into the front trunk. If you prioritize range, go for the RWD version, officially rated at just over 600 kilometers. Those chasing acceleration should opt for the pricier AWD version—the kickback sensation is genuinely thrilling. During test drives, I recommend focusing on the differences in drivetrain modes.
