I agree with you entirely.

The RWD LR model 3 was my go-to and the one I was considering.

With this change, they have now essentially replaced that model with one that has 50 mile less range with very little savings on price.

Now the long range version looks so much less appealing as the price is now over $60k for an AWD upgrade I have absolute no use for.

Well, if the numbers are correct, the LR RWD was $49k and this MR is $45k, so that's 4000 less.. and the LR battery upgrade was $9000 more than the SR is supposed to be, so they're effectively splitting the difference. But I agree, it doesn't sound like a lot. (I'm assuming the $45k price assumes the $5000 premium upgrades that the LR forces you to buy at this point in time as well).

As another comment mentioned, you can still get the LR RWD this week. We've got one, very happy with it.

If you're seriously considering it and want to purchase it now, Elon has said that both FSD and RWD LR are available "off menu" for the next week.
