New Tesla Model 3 Long Range now officially qualifies for the full $7,500 federal EV tax credit, solidifying its status as the value-packed option over the base rear-wheel drive version. With the tax credit factored in, there’s only a $1,000 price gap between the two trims:
- Model 3 RWD: $38,990 (not eligible for credit)
- Model 3 Long Range: $39,990 (including $7,500 credit)
For just a grand more, you’re scoring over 300 miles of range, zippy all-wheel drive performance, and all the extra luxe trimmings that make the Long Range model, well, long range-y. It’s honestly a no-brainer value proposition at this point.
Tesla’s been adamant that federal EV tax credits shouldn’t be a limiting factor for making the leap to electric. With the Model 3 Long Range now certified for full incentives, that mission is accomplished — at least for one of its most popular models.
