There’s lots of reviews on the 2024 (highland upgrade project) AWD Long Range, which I have test driven twice. The audio system sounds good with incredible (probably too much) power. One can easily turn it up to where I’d be concerned about damaging the speaker elements. What I cannot find information on other than the one article I read here is what the audio system is like in the base model, rear wheel drive (RWD) version. I’ve seen 2 reviews on YouTube that show that both speaker mounting positions in the trunk under the rear seat shelf are empty, unlike the all-wheel-drive long range model, which has two speakers mounted there, supposedly subwoofers. On line in numerous places it says there is a Sub-woofer in the RWD model. The fact there are 9 speakers specified (this being an odd number) tells me that it either has a centre speaker in the dash or it has a Subwoofer (somewhere else). Can anyone tell me a) Is there a subwoofer? And b) If so, where it is located?
I have a 2024 model 3 RWD on order. In B.C. where I live the provincial incentive doesn’t apply to the model 3 AWD/LR because it’s a car (limited to $55K) but does apply to the model Y AWD LR, because it’s an SUV (limited to $70K) even though the incentive does apply in other provinces and also at the Federal level. I will be selling my 2012 VW Jetta highline 2.5 which has the Fender designed, Panasonic stereo system with enclosed sub-woofer under the rear seat shelf. It’s the best sounding (stereo only- best for music IMO) audio I’ve ever had in a car. Much better than the Bose system in my previous 2002 Audi S4!
