About This 2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range

This 2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range (Stock #U21106, VIN: 5YJ3E1EB9NF355434) comes in a sharp Gray exterior and is equipped with All-Wheel Drive — a feature that sets the Long Range trim apart from the base rear-wheel-drive configuration. At 105,040 miles, this vehicle has accumulated real-world road time, but that shouldn't give you pause. Tesla's electric drivetrain is fundamentally different from a gasoline engine — there's no timing belt, no oil changes, no transmission fluid, and far fewer moving parts to wear out. Many Tesla owners report their vehicles running strong well past 150,000 to 200,000 miles with proper care. See our current asking price on this page for today's most up-to-date figure.

2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance and Engine

Electric Motor and All-Wheel Drive

The 2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range runs on a dual-motor electric setup paired with a 1-speed automatic transmission and AWD. In practice, this means instant torque off the line, smooth acceleration at any speed, and confident traction in a variety of driving conditions. The Long Range variant was designed to maximize range per charge — real-world EPA estimates for this trim typically land around 350 miles per charge, which comfortably covers most daily commutes and weekend road trips across California's Central Valley and beyond.

The AWD system uses one motor on each axle, working together seamlessly to deliver power exactly where it's needed. Whether you're merging onto Highway 99, navigating the foothills east of Chowchilla, or running errands through the region, this setup provides a genuinely confident driving experience.

Tesla Model 3 Features and Interior

Technology and Comfort in the Long Range Trim

The 2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range comes loaded with the features that have made Tesla famous. The centerpiece of the cabin is the 15.4-inch touchscreen display that controls nearly every vehicle function — navigation, climate, media, and vehicle settings — all in one seamless interface. The minimalist interior is clean and modern, with a large glass roof that opens the cabin and makes every drive feel more spacious.

Standard features typically found on this trim include Tesla's Autopilot driver assistance system, over-the-air software updates that continuously improve the vehicle after purchase, premium audio, heated front and rear seats, a wireless charging pad, and keyless entry and start via the Tesla app or key card. These aren't optional add-ons — they come standard on the Long Range trim, making it one of the most feature-rich vehicles in its class at any price point.

Tesla Model 3 Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Experts Say

The Tesla Model 3 has consistently ranked among the highest in owner satisfaction surveys, particularly for its long-term running costs. With no gasoline, no oil changes, no spark plugs, and no exhaust system to maintain, the cost of ownership is significantly lower than a comparable combustion vehicle over time. Brake pads also last longer thanks to regenerative braking, which captures energy during deceleration and reduces wear.

That said, prospective buyers should be aware that Tesla's build quality has been a topic of discussion — panel gaps and interior trim fitment can vary between vehicles, so it's always worth a thorough inspection before purchase. Battery health is another consideration at higher mileage; Tesla batteries do experience gradual capacity degradation, but the Long Range's larger battery pack means even a modest percentage of degradation still leaves you with excellent usable range. Overall, the Model 3 is widely regarded as one of the most reliable electric vehicles available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range a good used buy?

Yes — the 2022 Model 3 Long Range is widely considered one of the best used EV purchases available today. It offers exceptional range, a mature and feature-rich software platform, and low long-term ownership costs. The dual-motor AWD setup adds an extra layer of reliability and performance that the base rear-wheel-drive model doesn't offer.

How many miles is too many for a used Tesla Model 3?

Tesla's electric drivetrains are built to last well beyond the typical 100,000-mile benchmark that concerns buyers of gasoline vehicles. Many Model 3 owners report minimal performance degradation past 150,000 miles. The key metric to consider is battery health rather than mileage alone — a well-maintained battery at 100,000 miles can still provide excellent range.

What does the Long Range trim include on a 2022 Tesla Model 3?

The Long Range trim adds a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, a significantly larger battery pack for extended range (approximately 350 miles EPA-rated), and all the premium features of the standard Model 3 including the 15.4-inch touchscreen, Autopilot, premium audio, heated seats, and over-the-air update capability.

How do I charge a Tesla Model 3 at home or on the road?

Most Tesla Model 3 owners charge overnight at home using a Level 2 charger (240V), which is comparable to how you'd charge a smartphone — you plug it in at night and wake up with a full battery. On longer trips, Tesla's Supercharger network is available across California and nationwide, providing fast charging at thousands of locations. Chowchilla and the surrounding Central Valley region have growing access to Supercharger stations along major corridors.

Does a used Tesla still receive software updates?

Yes. Tesla vehicles receive over-the-air software updates regardless of whether they are new or used, and regardless of which owner is using the vehicle. This means your 2022 Model 3 continues to receive feature improvements, bug fixes, and in some cases new capabilities — long after the initial sale.
