Model Y RWD vs Long Range

[miasoldman]

Given the recent price drop, I am now considering a Model Y RWD. I test drove the Long Range in the summer and really liked it. I never thought I would buy a RWD car given the issues I have seen with BWM & MERC models in bad weather however given the price difference , the Model Y RWD is looking much more tempting. I do not do a lot of long runs in my current car, biggest is approx 80 miles each way which is something we do once a month.

Is the Model Y RWD a big compromise compared to the Long Range ? Anyone else made this decision recently ?

Also meant to ask, is there any benefit to buying an in stock car ? Looks like the saving is a few hundred quid.

Thanks folks. Just about to order Model Y RWD on a 24 month lease. Got a really good deal imo. Given the mileage we do and the nature of the trips , no real need for a LR.

Anyone just ordered a RWD, if so what was your lead time for metallic ?
