This week, the new Tesla Model 3 (also known as the Highland upgrade) was officially listed in a catalog of upcoming models in China, which was shared by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).<\/p>\n

This is the final step before a new car model is officially launched in China. The public can check out the main specs of the cars and submit feedback within about a week (September 13-19), after which the regulatory approval process will continue.<\/p>\n

For us, the most interesting things are additional Tesla Model 3 specs included on MIIT’s website.<\/p>\n

Let’s recall that the new Tesla Model 3 in China will be available in two versions – single-motor rear-wheel-drive and dual-motor all-wheel-drive, which are marked respectively as TSL7000BEVAR7 and TSL7000BEVBA4 (labeled as Tesla Model 3+). Currently, there is no Performance version.<\/p>\n

According to the MIIT, just like previously, the entry-level version is powered by batteries supplied by CATL (LFP type, we assume), while the LR AWD version is powered by batteries supplied by LG Energy Solution (cylindrical 1865-type NCM, we assume). There are no battery capacity numbers though.<\/p>\n

The new Tesla Model 3 Highland has slightly different dimensions than the outgoing one. It’s a bit longer but the width and height decreased:<\/p>\n
