Tesla Model 3+ targets record EV range with new battery strategy in China
Tesla is about to introduce a new version of its popular Model 3 sedan in China, designed for one task - to maximize range. Documents filed with Chinese regulators reveal a new trim, badged as the "Model 3+," which cleverly combines existing components to create what could become the longest-range electric car in Tesla's entire lineup.
Tesla plans to take the single-motor, rear-wheel-drive (RWD) setup from its entry-level Model 3 and power it with the more advanced ternary Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt (NMC) battery pack supplied by LG. Currently, this higher-capacity battery is reserved exclusively for the more expensive, dual-motor All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Long Range and Performance models. It seems Tesla has rediscovered a simple formula: combine your most efficient motor with your best battery.
The standard RWD Model 3 in China uses a 62.5 kWh Lithium-Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery from CATL, delivering 634 km of range on the CLTC cycle. It's an efficient car, consuming just 11.2 kWh of energy per 100 km. The current range leader, the Long Range AWD model, uses a larger 78.4 kWh NMC battery to achieve 753 km. However, its dual motors are thirstier, using 12.1 kWh per 100 km. By equipping the more frugal single-motor drivetrain with the superior NMC battery, the new Model 3+ could easily exceed the 800 km mark.

Tesla starts selling an LED light strip for the Model 3 and Model Y frunk
Tesla is now selling an LED light strip for the frunk of the Model 3 and Model Y. There's just one caveat - it's only meant for model years 2020 to 2024. Newer models will probably get their own version soon, as it's already available in China.
If you have a 2020 to 2024 model year, the LED light strip will set you back exactly $100. It connects directly to your Tesla's power supply, so it doesn't have a battery.

A Tesla Model 3 has driven itself around a 'Magic Roundabout' in the UK
Tesla debuts its 'Full Self-Driving (Supervised)' tech for the first time. Somehow deals with London
A ‘self-driving’ Tesla Model 3 has achieved a feat no human has ever been able to manage. It has successfully self-navigated around Swindon’s ironically named ‘Magic Roundabout’.
Furthermore, this ‘self-driving’ Model 3 – equipped with Level 2 SAE autonomy – also managed to drive itself around London without much fuss. An endeavour practically unheard of.
Why is this particular Model 3 going on an impromptu self-driving road trip? Possibly because Tesla’s so-called ‘Robotaxis’ might be planning a UK launch. That’s right: driverless taxis are coming.
It marks the UK debut for the carmaker’s ‘Full Self Driving (Supervised)’ technology. As mentioned, it’s actually akin to Level 2 SAE, so although it’s packed with cameras and is able to drive itself, a human is required to pay attention at all times.

Tesla's new Chinese Model 3+ crushes range records, six-seat Model Y L CLTC range also confirmed
Official government filings from China have pulled back the curtain on two new electric cars from Tesla, revealing a new Model 3 variant with an impressive range and a more spacious, six-seat version of the popular Model Y crossover. The documents, submitted to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), have detailed theoretical, best-case-scenario range, but they still push the boundaries of what consumers can expect from Tesla.
The star of the show is a new version of the Model 3, which appears destined to wear a "Model 3+" badge. According to the filing, this single-motor, rear-wheel-drive sedan will offer a range of up to 830 km on a single charge. This figure is based on the notoriously optimistic China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC) standard, but it still makes it the longest-range electric car in Tesla's entire lineup. The current range champion in China is the Model 3 Long Range All-Wheel Drive, which tops out at 753 km.
Tesla is giving the new Model 3+ a 78.4 kWh ternary lithium-ion battery pack supplied by LG Energy Solution. The pack itself weighs 448 kg and has an energy density of 175 Wh/kg. The filing also shows this new variant gets a more powerful single motor, rated at a peak output of 225 kW. This is a decent bump from the 194 kW motor found in the current entry-level Model 3. The vehicle has a listed curb weight of 1,760 kg.
