Tesla Model 3 made in China officially opens for pre-order today

Tesla officially announced that the price of the China-made Model 3 will be announced and open for pre-order on May 31, and launched a number game to guess the price. There is only one day left before the official announcement. Today, Tesla's official Weibo released more clues: xx8000 yuan, see you tomorrow! Some netizens speculated that the final price of the domestically produced Model 3 is likely to start at 328,000 yuan.

The domestically produced Model 3 is no longer subject to import tariffs on the entire vehicle, but there are still corresponding tariffs on imported batteries and motors. Naturally, the price cannot be kept all the way low, so it is reasonable to set the price at 328,000 yuan, which is about 50,000 yuan lower than the imported version.

Previously, the following numbers appeared on the Tesla China official website code: 460, 225, 5.6, 3, 2, 8, 0, 27800, 56000. The blogger speculated that this was hinting at: NEDC range of 460 kilometers, top speed of 225km/h, 0-100km/h acceleration of 5.6 seconds, starting price of 328,000 yuan, 0 purchase tax, 27,800 yuan for Autopilot automatic driving , and 56,000 yuan for FSD (Full Self-Driving computer) fully automatic driving.

In fact, a Weibo blogger has analyzed this before. At present, the starting price of the Model 3 Standard Range Upgrade Edition sold on Tesla China's official website is 377,000 yuan (including Autopilot automatic driving). At present, the unit price of Autopilot automatic driving is 27,800 yuan.

On May 22, Tesla China announced that owners of the mileage-enhanced upgraded Model S/X who place an order and pick up their car before June 30, 2019 (inclusive) will enjoy standard loan interest rates and insurance subsidies worth 16,000 yuan; owners who purchase the non-upgraded Model S/X will receive a lifetime free supercharging quota (which will become invalid upon resale).

Tesla said that the upgraded versions of Model S and Model X with enhanced range are equipped with a new powertrain and adaptive suspension, which allow for longer range and more comfortable driving.

It is understood that the upgraded Model S and Model X have introduced the permanent magnet synchronous reluctance motor on the Model 3, which increases the cruising range by more than 10%. In addition, the power and torque have also increased.
