About This 2018 Tesla Model 3 Long Range

The 2018 Model 3 Long Range was one of the most anticipated vehicles in automotive history, and it still holds up remarkably well against newer competition. With 45,221 miles on the odometer, this sedan sits comfortably in the "sweet spot" for a used Tesla — broken in, but with the vast majority of its battery life and mechanical longevity still ahead of it. Tesla's Long Range battery pack was engineered to last well beyond 200,000 miles with proper care, so this example has plenty of road left in it. The Deep Blue Metallic finish gives it a head-turning, premium appearance that looks sharp in both city traffic and on the open highway.

2018 Tesla Model 3 Long Range Performance and Engine

Dual Motor AWD Performance

The Model 3 Long Range comes equipped with Tesla's dual electric motor all-wheel drive system — and the real-world driving experience is genuinely unlike anything a traditional gasoline car can offer. Power delivery is instant, with zero lag from a dead stop, making merging onto I-82 or navigating Yakima's busy streets feel effortless. The Long Range AWD variant produces around 346 horsepower and can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 4.5 seconds — genuinely quick by any standard.

The single-speed automatic transmission means there are no gear shifts, no hesitation, just smooth, linear acceleration every time. AWD also means confident traction through the Cascades, on wet roads, and during the occasional Central Washington winter storm. Rated at over 310 miles of range on a full charge, daily commuting and weekend road trips to Seattle, Ellensburg, or the Tri-Cities are entirely stress-free.

Tesla Model 3 Features and Interior

Technology and Comfort

The Long Range trim represents Tesla's most feature-rich Model 3 configuration of the 2018 model year. Inside, the minimalist cabin is dominated by Tesla's iconic 15-inch touchscreen display, which controls navigation, media, climate, and vehicle settings. The glass roof fills the interior with natural light and gives both front and rear passengers a premium, airy feel.

Autopilot — Tesla's advanced driver assistance suite — is included, providing adaptive cruise control, automatic lane centering, and auto lane change on the highway. The premium interior package adds heated front and rear seats, a premium sound system, and upgraded materials throughout. Wireless phone integration, over-the-air software updates, and Tesla's continuously improving software ecosystem mean this car genuinely gets better over time.

Tesla Model 3 Reliability and Ownership

The 2018 Tesla Model 3 has earned a strong ownership reputation, particularly among buyers who prioritize low running costs and minimal maintenance. With no oil changes, no transmission fluid, no spark plugs, and no exhaust system to worry about, the cost of ownership is significantly lower than a comparable gasoline sedan. Brake wear is also dramatically reduced thanks to regenerative braking.

Consumer Reports and Tesla owner communities consistently praise the Long Range AWD Model 3 for its battery durability, software reliability, and overall build quality — which improved steadily through the 2018 production run. Early Model 3 buyers reported some panel fit issues, but most were addressed during production and remain cosmetic at most. At 45,221 miles, the battery should still be performing very close to its original rated range, and Tesla's battery management system actively protects long-term health.
