Overview

  • Equipped with a 78.4 kWh LG-sourced NMC battery and a 225 kW rear-wheel-drive motor, the Model 3 Long Range RWD achieves a CLTC-rated range of up to 830 km, which typically produces higher estimates than WLTP or EPA tests.
  • Priced at 269,500 yuan, the new variant carries a 14% premium over the base RWD model and slots between Tesla’s existing Long Range AWD and Performance trims in China.
  • Orders opened on August 12, with deliveries scheduled to begin in September following MIIT approval.
  • Tesla has upgraded all Model 3 trims in China with extended ranges this year as part of a broader effort to counter sliding deliveries and stronger local rivals.
  • Purchase incentives include five years of interest-free financing, an RMB 8,000 paint discount and an RMB 8,000 insurance subsidy.
