Tesla has introduced a set of low-profile updates to its Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in China, improving both performance and range for select long-range variants. The Model 3 Long Range All-Wheel Drive now starts at RMB 285,500 (approximately $39,300), reflecting a RMB 10,000 ($1,400) price increase. The update includes a longer range and quicker acceleration, suggesting previously optional features are now included by default.
According to Tesla’s local configuration page, the Model 3 Long Range variant now offers a CLTC-rated range of 753 kilometers (468 miles), up from the prior 713 km (443 miles). Additionally, its 0–100 km/h acceleration time has been reduced from 4.4 seconds to 3.8 seconds. These enhancements imply that the Acceleration Boost—previously sold as a software upgrade priced at RMB 14,100—has been bundled as a standard feature.
Tesla has also shortened the delivery wait time for the Model 3 Long Range to 1–3 weeks, compared to the previous estimate of 3–5 weeks. Meanwhile, there have been no updates to the entry-level rear-wheel-drive or high-performance versions, which retain their existing prices of RMB 235,500 and RMB 339,500, respectively, and delivery timelines of 1–3 weeks and 8–10 weeks.
The Model Y Long Range also received a range upgrade, increasing its CLTC figure from 719 kilometers (447 miles) to 750 kilometers (466 miles). Despite the improved range, the vehicle maintains its price of RMB 313,500 ($43,759) and an unchanged acceleration figure of 4.3 seconds from 0–100 km/h. Delivery time for the Model Y Long Range has been reduced to 1–3 weeks, while the entry-level Model Y RWD—priced at RMB 263,500—now carries a slightly shorter delivery estimate of 2–4 weeks.
Tesla continues to offer localized purchase incentives, including RMB 8,000 discounts for selected paint finishes, insurance subsidies worth RMB 8,000, and five years of interest-free financing on eligible models.
