With the federal tax credit, the starting price of the Model 3 LR can effectively drop to $34,990 when considering the estimated five-year gas savings. This makes the Model 3 LR more accessible and financially attractive to a broader range of buyers, enhancing its competitiveness in the electric vehicle market.
Previously, only the Performance Model 3 variant qualified for the full tax credit, which sometimes led to a peculiar pricing situation where the performance variant could cost less than the long-range variant.
This change corrects that imbalance, ensuring that buyers of the Model 3 LR can now get a more efficient vehicle at a more efficient price.
