Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're as obsessed with Tesla as I am, you've probably heard the buzz about the latest Model 3 variant launching in China. It's packing some seriously impressive specs, and while it's not available everywhere yet, it's got us all dreaming about what's next for electric vehicles. In this post, I'll break down the details from my recent video, share my thoughts, and even hook you up with some essential Tesla accessories that every owner needs. Let's dive in!
Tesla just dropped a bombshell with their new longer-range Model 3 in China, and the numbers are turning heads. We're talking about a claimed 515 miles of range—yeah, you read that right! But before you get too excited, keep in mind this is based on the CLTC (China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle) standard, which tends to be more optimistic than EPA estimates. When converted, it might translate to something in the 420-430 mile ballpark for real-world or US ratings. Still, that's a game-changer if it holds up!
Priced at around $37,492 (converted from the Chinese market), this bad boy comes equipped with a 78.4 kWh battery pack from LG Energy Solutions. It's a step up from the standard models and could make road trips a whole lot less stressful. One thing I'm really hoping for is that this variant brings the front camera to the US market—better visibility and safety features are always a win.
Of course, Tesla vehicles in China often come at a lower price point compared to other markets due to local manufacturing and incentives. But even if we don't see this exact model stateside right away, it's exciting to think about the possibilities. What do you think? Is range the top priority for you when shopping for an EV, or are you more focused on interior features, tech upgrades, or something else? Drop your thoughts in the comments below—I'd love to hear if this influences your next Tesla purchase!
Speaking of Tesla ownership, if you've bought or are about to buy one, you know they come pretty bare-bones in the accessory department. No phone mount, no organizers—nothing! But don't sweat it; I've got your back with some must-have recommendations from our partner, Jowua. These aren't just random picks; I use them myself and swear by them.
Here are a few essentials every Tesla owner should consider:
But Jowua goes beyond the basics. Check out their wireless game controller that tucks neatly into the glovebox, a portable air compressor for those unexpected tire issues on long drives, and even an electric scooter to zip around from superchargers or Level 2 stations. Why walk when you can ride?
