Tesla Model 3 has been revealed with a greater driving range than the last model.
To increase sales and keep its position as the top business in the global electric car market, Tesla presented a redesigned Model 3 sedan with a greater driving range than the previous model. The firm also reduced the costs of its luxury cars.
In the first significant update to the Model 3 since it began production six years ago, the automaker has shrunk the size of the front end of its sedan. The redesigned model has a more elegant and sporty appearance with headlights that are slimmer than before, as well as an additional 8-inch screen for passengers. the two in behind.
The vehicle can now be categorized in China as having a 606 km range on a single charge, a 9 percent increase. Additional speakers for the audio system are among the other recent modifications.
In the hours following the revelation, Tesla offered significant discounts on the Model S Sedan and Model X in China and the United States. In addition, the driver assistance system that Tesla sells was marked down by $3,000 to become fully self-driving, with a price of $12,000 instead.
Tesla's base models for the Model S and Model X are currently $ 74.990 and $ 79.990, respectively. The two vehicles' initial pricing were $ 104.990 and $ 120.990, respectively.
In China, the price of the updated Model 3 is $35,800, which is 12% more expensive than the previous model. However, the business had to modernize in order to compete with regional rivals like BYD, which plans to sell 3 million cars this year, as well as Nio and Xpeng, who are growing their product lines.
Selling a model that has not been updated in six years in such a market is equivalent to buying an outdated phone, so it appears that Tesla realized its need to compete in China faster than everywhere else in the world in order to succeed in the country's fiercely competitive electric car industry.
Following the company's announcement that it will be closing the factory for upgrades, deliveries from Tesla's Shanghai factory dropped in July to their lowest levels of the year.
The automaker reduced prices many times in a short period of time last month, setting up a price war in China that reduced profit margins.
Local rivals including Geely and Xpeng's Zeekr brand have also lowered model costs and introduced new goods to directly compete with Tesla, while Nio has promised to release its first product for its new brand as early as next year.
Elon Musk first debuted the Model 3 in March 2016 to much fanfare, but the business struggled to ramp up manufacturing and ran into production issues for months after that.
