Tesla Lowers Price of New Model 3 Long Range RWD in China by RMB 10,000

The reduction reflects a demand push using insurance subsidies alongside zero‑interest financing.

Overview

  • The Model 3 Long Range RWD now lists at RMB 259,500, down from RMB 269,500 on Tesla’s China site.
  • Launched on August 12, the variant carries a CLTC-rated 830 km range, with new orders showing 1–3 week delivery windows.
  • Mainland buyers are being offered an RMB 8,000 insurance subsidy and a limited-time five-year 0% financing plan on select models.
  • Short-term data signal mixed traction for the new trim, with roughly 5,200 first-week registrations then a drop from China’s top 30, alongside broader declines and a June EV market share of 3.2% per CPCA.
  • Tesla is pairing the China move with region-specific actions, including steep UK leasing-partner discounts, $0-down used-vehicle leases in the U.S., and a $15,000 price increase for the Cybertruck Cyberbeast.
