Late to the discussion here...
Other than the potential for increased range, I have absolutely zero need for AWD.
... because the 310 mile range of the long range Model 3 is actually more than I expected/needed for trips, it would be a pretty tough sell for someone like me.
Once the # AWD base model battery 3 range is announced, you'll decide that it has all the range you need.
If so, you may save ~$5k to $6k when you buy, and due to the increased efficiency, you'll definitely save more $ every time you charge.
I think the gap between the short and long range options is too big to span with AWD, particularly since my requirements are more towards the higher end. I figure I need 250 miles range minimum, and 280 is my sweet spot. I really can't see AWD even getting me up to the minimum (but if it did, sure, I'd be willing to evaluate).
