Foreign media: Tesla has launched the electric vehicle model with the longest range - Model 3 Plus, with a range of 830 kilometers (515 miles), but it is currently only available in the Chinese market.
Tesla has launched a new version of the Model 3 with the farthest range in China, named Model 3 Plus, with a range of 800 to 830 kilometers (approximately 515 miles), based on the Chinese CLTC standard, which focuses on urban driving conditions, and the range data is higher than the WLTP or EPA standards used in Europe and the US. The new model is equipped with a rear-wheel motor with a power increased to 225 kilowatts, which is 31 kilowatts more than the existing rear-wheel drive version. The battery is a 78.4-kilowatt-hour ternary lithium battery supplied by South Korean LG, which is the largest battery pack in the Model 3 series. The整车 weight is approximately 1760 kilograms.
This model's range far exceeds the current long-range dual-motor version of the Model 3 in the Chinese market, which has a range of 753 kilometers, and it is the model with the longest range ever produced by Tesla. The estimated price is about RMB 270,000 (about USD 37,000), and the launch time may be in September 2025. This upgrade mainly achieves the range improvement by increasing the motor power and battery capacity, without major changes in appearance or configuration.
Tesla is currently focusing mainly on autonomous driving and robot projects. This time, it only launched an upgraded version of the existing model. Whether it will be launched globally is still uncertain. Experts believe that considering the price sensitivity of the Chinese market, Tesla is more likely to launch a new model with better cost performance in the future, rather than a high-priced version.
