Volgens deze bron -en een reactie- wordt het model 3 SR+ € 2000 goedkoper.

En dat voor beter afgewerkte wagens uit China (Giga Shanghai)

Voor de AWD Long Range en Performance is er (nog) geen nieuws, die komt dus nog altijd uit Fremont, Californië.

Levering Chinese Model 3's in Europa begonnen

Als je een Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus besteld hebt is de kans aanwezig dat je een Chinees model krijgt. Het was al eerder bekend dat hieraan gewerkt werd en inmiddels zijn de eerste Model 3's uit China geleverd.

Je hoeft overigens niet bang te zijn dat dit een nadeel is. De Model 3's uit China schijnen van hogere kwaliteit te zijn dan die uit Amerika.

Een Model 3 Standard Range Plus eigenaar in Frankrijk ontdekte dat er op zijn factuur stond dat de Model 3 uit China kwam.

Je kunt het ook zien aan het VIN nummer van je Model 3. Als je daarin een C (voor China) ziet staan na de L (bouwjaar 2020), dan komt jouw Model 3 ook uit China: LRW-XXXXXLCXXX.

Andere accu

De Chinese Tesla Model 3's zijn voorzien van een lithium iron phosphate accu (LFP). Deze accu's zijn iets goedkoper om te maken. Ook zou je ze anders moeten laden. Het advies is om ze minimaal eens per week tot 100 procent op te laden.

Ja ze komen uit China en hebben nu packs met 2170 LFP-batterijcellen van CATL.

Volgens Electrek zou er amper verschil zijn in rijbereik, nee zelfs 10-15 km meer in de praktijk. In China is wel nog NEDC daar ging het bereik van 445 km naar 468 km na de transitie naar performantere LFP (dixit Musk)

As we have previously reported, Tesla has been planning to update its made-in-China Model 3 vehicles with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries from Chinese battery maker CATL.

CEO Elon Musk recently mentioned that he believes the energy density of LFP batteries have improved enough that it now makes sense to use the cheaper and cobalt-free batteries in its lower-end vehicles.

Furthermore, the use of LFP batteries also free up more battery supply of lithium ion chemistry cells for Tesla’s other vehicle programs.

After obtaining authorization to build Model 3 with LFP batteries in China earlier this summer, we now learn that Tesla has made the switch and updated its Model 3 lineup in China:

Tesla updated its online Model 3 configurator with the following new prices after incentives:

Model 3 Standard Range Plus: now ¥ 249,900 down from ¥ 271,550
Model 3 Long Range RWD: now ¥ 309,900 down from ¥ 344,050

It brings the price of the Model 3 Standard Range Plus, which is the one now equipped with LFP batteries, to now the equivalent of ~$37,000 USD, which is cheaper than what a Model 3 in the US now costs depending on local state incentives.

Interestingly, the version of the vehicle is also an official range bump from 445 km to 468 km (290 miles).

As we previously reported, Model 3 in China, and eventually in the US, is expected to get several updated features including a new heat pump, chrome delete, and more.

Based on the configurator, Model 3 isn’t coming out of the factory with a chrome delete yet.

As for the internal changes, it’s unclear whether the vehicles are now equipped with octovalve heat pump and other features that are not visible.

Translation by Teslarati:

«The new improved Model 3 SR equipped with lithium iron phosphate battery can be charged regardless of the charge limit, and it can be fully charged!!
The new version of the Model 3 cancels the daily use / long distance travel suggestion on the charging settings page, i.e. car owners don't have to worry about whether they can be completely charged during daily charging.e.
We recommend that you charge the vehicle to 100 at least once a week. This helps balance the voltage between the battery packs and, over time, can also maintain accurate vehicle ratings and display the remaining power. »


The rumors of the latter then seem to be confirmed, indeed theModel 3 SR now seems to come from Chinae. The strategy therefore seems to import only the LR and Performance from the United States, because the Model 3 SR has a lower manufacturing cost in China, with the new batteries.

Importing SRs from China will pave the way for soon to import the Model Y. Indeed, a current rumor, the Chinese factory appears to be about to start manufacturing. Tesla is therefore surely preparing a little surprise by starting the sale of Model Y from December 2020 - January 2021.

*UPDATE: It is therefore possible to differentiate the Chinese model now on the Tesla website. Indeed, in new vehicles in stock, there are Tesla Model 3 SRs with 440Km of autonomy. This range corresponds to the cobalt-free batteries that Tesla uses in China.



In comparison the version delivered from the factory in the United States:



Finally the drone and Tesla enthusiast Wu Wa offers us a video of the Giga Shanghai, in this very interesting video we see the new SuperCharge station at the factory, but we also find some Model 3 prepared differently.

Indeed, as we can see in the photo and video below, there are some Model 3 which are protected by protective film on some body parts. It would therefore appear that these specially prepared vehicles are intended to travel and therefore to be exported.

Wie weet komt het model Y SR+ met LFP ook eerst uit China vanaf 2021 (als ze er over hebben).
Of zolang Giga Berlijn nog niet produceert (voorzien zomer 2021), afwachten.

Op de Europese websites staat namelijk dit:

De productie begint naar verwachting begin 2021
