RWD or long range for long commute (250km) roundtrip) in Ottawa climate?

I’m driving about 250km round trip daily around Ottawa and total roughly 90,000 km/year. Looking at a used 2022 Tesla Model 3 and trying to decide between RWD with the tougher battery and Long Range AWD.

They both seem like they could handle it, but I’m worried about winter range and long-term battery degradation with that kind of mileage. I don’t want to be charging constantly or cutting it close in the winter. I'm buying tfos vehicle specifically for commuting.

For those with similar commutes, is the RWD enough year-round or is Long Range needed to get me home in the winter?

Bumped from May/June to Aug/Sep.!

Ordered Mar 24th why is it fluctuating that much! It’s insane how they can’t stick to one delivery time and pushing it now it’s 3 months more delayed to already 2 months.

Anyone else with same timeline? Or I’m just too lucky 🤨

What did your sales person tell you for delivery time?

One of mine said 6-8 weeks and another said 4-6 weeks. This was mid March for RWD.

Can you only see early pick up options available if you have a VIN assigned?

I haven’t seen any pickup options available for the Performance yet, but my friend does have the option to pick up an available car. We have the same specifications and live in the same area, so I’m not sure why it’s different for me.
