    Which Tesla has the longest range? Compare the current lineup.

    If range is your top priority, the model you pick matters less than the trim and wheels you choose within it. Here’s how EPA-estimated range compares across the Teslas you can actually order today.

    The three models you can order new

    Model 3 tops out at 363 miles on the Premium Rear-Wheel Drive trim, dropping to 346 miles on Premium All-Wheel Drive with 18-inch wheels, according to Edmunds’ 2026 Model 3 pricing guide. The Performance trim trades range for speed.

    Model Y’s longest-range configuration is the Premium Rear-Wheel Drive trim at 357 miles, per Cars.com’s Model Y range breakdown. The Standard RWD trim is rated at 321 miles, Premium All-Wheel Drive at 327 miles, and the Performance trim at 306 miles — the largest range give-up of any Model Y trim, in exchange for a 3.3-second 0-60 time.

    Cybertruck is rated at 325 miles for both the base and Premium all-wheel-drive versions, and 320 miles for the tri-motor Cyberbeast, all on a shared 123-kWh battery pack, according to Cars.com’s Cybertruck pricing and specs guide.

    Model S and Model X still lead on paper, but you can’t order one new

    Model S remains Tesla’s longest-range vehicle at up to 410 miles, and Model X is rated up to 352 miles, per Cars.com’s Model S research page. Neither is a live option for a new order, though: Tesla ended Model S and Model X production in April 2026 and pulled the online configurator for both, according to Electrek, which reported only around 600 units remained in global inventory at the time. If you want one of these two, your only path is whatever pre-built inventory a Tesla store or the website still lists — not a custom order.

    What actually moves the needle

    Within any model, two choices cost you the most range: bigger wheels and all-wheel drive. Larger wheels create more aerodynamic drag and rolling resistance, which is why Model 3 loses range moving from its smallest wheel option to Performance’s 20-inch wheels, and why Model Y’s AWD trims consistently rate lower than their rear-wheel-drive counterparts. If maximum range matters more to you than all-wheel traction or the fastest 0-60 time, the rear-wheel-drive, smallest-wheel trim of whichever model you’re considering will get you the most miles per charge on paper.

    Remember that EPA figures are a comparison tool, not a guarantee. Cold weather, highway speeds, cargo, and driving style all pull real-world range below the sticker number, sometimes significantly in winter.

  • Tesla Cybertruck trims compared: which one should you buy?

    Tesla Cybertruck trims compared: which one should you buy?

    Tesla’s Cybertruck lineup has changed more than once in the past year, so it’s worth checking what’s actually for sale before you configure one. As of July 2026, Tesla sells the Cybertruck in three trims: AWD, Premium AWD, and Cyberbeast. A cheaper single-motor rear-wheel-drive version existed briefly in 2025 but was discontinued after only a few months on sale due to weak demand, so it’s no longer an option if you’re ordering today.

    Cybertruck AWD — $69,990

    This is the current entry point into Cybertruck ownership, priced at $69,990 before destination fees (about $71,985 out the door, per Cars.com). It uses two motors for all-wheel drive, delivers an EPA-estimated 325 miles of range, and gets to 60 mph in about 4.1 seconds. It can tow up to 7,500 pounds. To hit this price, Tesla trims some comfort features compared to the higher trims: you get adaptive damping instead of air suspension, 18-inch wheels, cloth seats, and a smaller 7-speaker audio system rather than the Premium’s 15-speaker setup, and it skips the rear touchscreen and front seat ventilation.

    Cybertruck Premium AWD — $79,990

    The Premium trim shares the same dual-motor setup, 325-mile range, and roughly 4.1-second 0-60 time as the base AWD, but adds the features many buyers actually want day to day. It steps up to adaptive air suspension, which also raises max towing capacity to 11,000 pounds, plus 20-inch wheels, leatherette seats, a rear passenger touchscreen, ventilated front seats and heated rear seats, and the upgraded sound system. For most buyers cross-shopping full-size trucks, this is the trim that matches Cybertruck’s original marketing promises most closely.

    Cyberbeast — $99,990

    The Cyberbeast is the performance flagship. It swaps in a third motor for a tri-motor all-wheel-drive setup rated at 845 horsepower, cutting the 0-60 time to about 2.6 seconds — noticeably quicker than the other two trims. Range drops slightly to an EPA-estimated 320 miles because of the added weight and power draw of the extra motor. It carries over the Premium trim’s air suspension, wheels, and interior features, and matches its 11,000-pound tow rating. Tesla cut the Cyberbeast’s price by $15,000 in early 2026 as part of a broader lineup restructuring, bringing it down from a prior high of around $114,990 to its current $99,990.

    Which one should you buy?

    • Cybertruck AWD makes sense if you want the lowest possible entry price and don’t mind giving up creature comforts like air suspension, ventilated seats, or the rear screen. It still tows enough for a boat trailer or small camper.
    • Premium AWD is the trim most buyers cross-shopping the Cybertruck against a Ford F-150 Lightning or Rivian R1T should look at first. The extra $10,000 buys real functional upgrades — more towing capacity, air suspension for a smoother ride, and interior comfort features — not just badges.
    • Cyberbeast is for buyers who care most about acceleration and don’t mind paying roughly $20,000 more than the Premium for it. The range and towing numbers are close to the Premium’s, so the extra cost is really about speed and bragging rights rather than added practicality.

    Whichever trim you’re considering, confirm current pricing and configuration on Tesla’s order page before you commit — the Cybertruck lineup has already been restructured twice in the past year, and Tesla can adjust prices with little notice.
