Domestic Tesla Model 3 battery upgrade
Battery upgrade
It is reported that the domestic Tesla Model 3 battery has been upgraded, and the power of the basic model will be upgraded from 60kWh to 66kWh.
According to news on June 29, Tesla has begun to provide promotional discounts for Model 3 in the Chinese market and the North American market.
Some media quoted a number of people familiar with the matter as saying that the new domestic Tesla Model 3 model will upgrade the battery pack, especially the basic rear-wheel drive version will be upgraded from 60kWh to 66kWh Ningde era M3P new lithium iron phosphate battery.
The source also revealed that the 66kWh battery pack will not only be used for the modified Model 3, but also as a platform solution for the subsequent Model Y modified models.
In fact, Tesla’s previous “facelift” models will upgrade their batteries every time.
For example, the standard range battery pack of the domestic Model 3 has been upgraded from 55kWh to 60kWh.
Project Highland
According to news on June 7, Tesla has recently restarted testing on public roads on the Model 3 code-named “Project Highland”, which is the redesigned Model 3 model.
EV enthusiast The Kilowatts spotted the test car in California earlier this week and noticed something new.
The headlights of the new Model 3 are consistent with the previously exposed photos, and adopt a more stylish and dynamic design, which is obviously different from the existing Model 3.
The rear taillights have also changed, and the turn signals have changed from horizontal to vertical.
The rear bumper also adds a diffuser similar to the Model S, X, and Y, which works by accelerating low-pressure air under the car and directing it to the rear section, thereby increasing downforce at high speeds and also helping to improve Handling, so it is possible that the new Model 3 will introduce a more performance-oriented model.
In addition to the cosmetic changes, the new Model 3 will also be equipped with the latest Hardware 4.0 (HW4) system, including an upgraded camera.
The HW4 system has been applied to Model S, X and Y, which can provide higher automatic driving performance and safety.
The “Project Highland” Model 3 was first exposed last fall.
Tesla has been improving this car for nearly a year.
The new car is still in the road test stage.
The specific release time has not yet been determined. The editor will keep an eye on it.
Tesla is currently undergoing a major facelift of the Model 3, code-named Project Highland, and its test vehicles have been leaked several times.
Judging from the revelations and road test spy photos I saw before, the facelift Model 3 may bring some new features, and may also inherit some features from its big brothers Model S and Model X, such as ventilated seats.
The new Model 3 will also feature ambient lighting and an upgraded audio system.
This is also a standard feature of many high-end models, but different people have different preferences for it.
There’s no word yet on what upgrades the sound system will have, but it could be the addition of a second subwoofer.
According to the recently publicly exposed facelift Model 3, some of the exterior changes of the new car include new front and rear headlights, front and rear bumpers.
Inside, there are also signs of a new steering wheel and the removal of the gear lever.
It is reported that Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory has begun trial production of the redesigned Model 3, and Drive Tesla has learned that the Model 3 production line at the Fremont plant will be closed this week to adapt to the new design.
It is reported that the production line will be shut down for about a week to make a transformation.
