Has anyone else ordered the new LR Y RWD?

[SteelClouds]

I decided to bite on the new LR Y RWD and save myself 3K plus vs an AWD. The only difference I could see was a 2 second acceleration and I "should" get a few more miles of range. The other is there is not any delivery date for the LR RWD and I could have gotten the AWD this week from stock.

I went the complete opposite.. only $3500
More for the awd but then $3500 more for the P…. I ordered the P

At least according to their web site, the LR RWD also has the downgraded stereo; half the speakers and amps and no sub.

Im pending for a LR RWD.

My only concern is not knowing what kind of battery it will be coming with and if they will honer the financing if it takes them too long to assign me a car.

Also I'd just like to upgrade to premium audio without having to get dual motor. Id pay of course.

While the price jump isn't huge for AWD or P.

The reduced range isn't something I want.

The irony to me is more range means more performance... So the RWD is a performance model to me by that metric. I will not be needing or using more acceleration but since I will tow I will need as much range as I can squeeze out of it.

Not going to happen. The AWD/P has dual amps with more speakers. The RWD wont have the right wiring harness or the speakers unlike the old M3s that could turn on the speakers that were installed but not used. The AWD gets foglights, a motor, package tray, premium sound system and probably a few other things.. I'm told can buy a "boost" for the AWD to shave something like a second off the 0 to 60 times.

on the same boat as SteelClouds.. keep on wavering on AWD advantages vs RWD LR

Ordered the Y RWD LR, got the 0.99%, and am pleased. No VIN yet...
In 2017 I bought a new Chevy Volt Premier. After adjusting for inflation, the new Tesla is many thousands of dollars CHEAPER than the Volt.

There’s only one option that lets it qualify for tax credit, and that is the same Panasonic NCA that was in the 2024 Y SR RWD just without the software limit. Same pack as the Y LR and Y Performance.

Apparently my on-order MYLRRWD will arrive with US-made Panasonic NCA cells and something like 79kWh capacity. Do I have it right?

Has anyone received a pick up date yet? I ordered one but my dates keep moving up with no VIN yet
