2 Long Range Single Motor vs Model 3 RWD

01The cut

Model 3 RWD leads on the figures you would actually use. You would notice RRP and After grant. You would not notice UK grant, WLTP range and Motorway estimate.

A win is counted only where the gap is one you would notice, and only where two independent hosts agree on the figure. One-source numbers still print. Missing figures stay blank. We do not invent a score.

* Tesla publishes cargo volume its own way — often boot plus frunk, to the roof. It is not a VDA litre. We leave the asterisk rather than pretend they match.
