Called Project Highland, the new version of the Tesla Model 3 should cost much less, according to local Chinese media. This electric car is already in trial production in Shanghai, in the Gigafactory.
It’s now been more than a year since Tesla has been developing a new, revised version of its popular sedan, the Model 3 Highland. This version features a completely new concept, particularly in terms of its front face and its hood. For now, we are still waiting for its official presentation. However, a source reveals that this facelifted model would benefit from a 14% price drop.
Tesla’s redesigned Model 3 will be offered at a cheaper price
The updated Tesla Model 3 is nearing the end of its development cycle. And this, according to a Chinese publication by the name of JRJ. A screenshot of this revelation was posted on Twitter and then retweeted by an avid Tesla owner. What is this allegation regarding? Apparently, this improved version will be sold at a cheaper price than the basic version. This source refers to a 14% discount. Thus, the Tesla Model 3 Highland will cost 200,000 yuan, or regarding 25,000 euros.
For comparison, the existing Model 3 is priced at 231,900 yuan. This is equivalent to 29,000 euros at the time of this writing. In France, if we apply the same price list, the redesigned Model 3 might be marketed between 30,000 and 31,000 euros, eco-premium deducted.
In the event that this price range also materializes in the rest of the markets, the Model 3 Highland can revolutionize the sector of electric cars. Indeed, it constitutes a autonomous, powerful and modern model accessible to everyone. This pricing revelation packs the web more than battery specs or the fast approaching launch date. Even though the cost of the Highland was announced as lower, this estimate gives a clearer idea of what to expect from this new car.
Mass production from September 2023
As the release of the Tesla Model 3 Highland approaches, the web is buzzing with rumours. It appears that series production will begin during the month of September 2023. As for deliveries, they will take place a month laterd, more precisely in October 2023. It must of course be pointed out that Tesla has not yet confirmed this news, being rather discreet as always.
Under an extended agreement in 2021, Ningde Times Group will provide lithium-ion batteries at Tesla and this, until 2025. This revised electric car will thus benefit from batteries LFP (lithium-manganese-iron-phosphate) of 66 kWh type M3P CATL. This battery allows a range of 500 km. It’s hard to tell if the cheapest price of this new Tesla car stems from this CATL battery. We have to wait until October to find out more.
