9/5/2023 0 Comments 2021 tesla model 3 long rangeWhile our model was equipped with 19 inch Sport wheels (at a cost of £1500), there are also new range improving 20 inch Uberturbine wheels available – both are shod in more efficient tyres.Ī less obvious change is dual layer acoustic glass on the front windows, which serves two purposes – firstly to reduce exterior noise and secondly to improve insulation. It’s a personal preference, but the general consensus on the forums and social media groups is it looks better. Presumably Tesla took note of this and now the flush door handles, and all of the trim around the windows and triangular camera cupolas just behind the front wheels are satin black, as are the sill plates. One of the most popular modifications among Model 3 owners is a ‘chrome delete’ – basically covering all the shiny stuff with black vinyl (outside and in). Tesla has obviously been incrementally improving the Model 3 via software updates since it launched (over 20 in fact), but the 2021 refresh brings significant physical and hardware changes: Here are the most important differences outside: With just body fit and other markers of quality that are inferior to the German brands, we find out how much of the 2022 changes address what we consider to be Tesla’s only downfall. ![]() Last year, the Model 3 was the 16th bestselling car in the world (according to data from Focus2Move) having sold a total of 439,760 units and the most popular EV, while latest stats from SMMT show it topped June registrations in the UK as it continues to ride a wave of consumer interest in electric vehicles. On top of that, they’ve also installed charging stations, rather than waiting for governments or petroleum companies to do so, and as a result have a dependable and useable network, thus helping to obliterate range anxiety – one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption. It’s only very recently that some EVs are competing when it comes to how far they can go on a full charge but in terms of software – which can be updated on the fly – Tesla are a game changer. Since then the latter of those two companies now have a range of EVs on sale, but they’re not a tech company first and foremost and in that respect they’ve lost some time, which is why Tesla is doing so well. ![]() With the German players reluctant to compete with a battery-powered version of their own most profitable products, the Model 3 was able to steal the limelight away from the similarly priced, long-established BMW 3 Series, Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. That is why some German owners already have registration for their cars that are due to be picked up in late November or December.Just months after the Tesla Model 3 went on sale in Europe in February 2019 it became a success. ![]() When shipping to Europe, Tesla already sends the papers to the customer before the car arrives, so that they can be registered beforehand and a smooth pickup is guaranteed. Now we get the first evidence that new Tesla Model 3 vehicles are equipped with the new cells.Īs /r/TeslaMotors user “Corio13” explained, Tesla has sent 2021 Model 3 vehicles information to buyers in Europe ahead of time: We weren’t clear if they were already in Tesla vehicles, but we had our suspicions following the recent efficiency improvements resulting in longer ranges that Tesla released last month. Last week, we also reported that Panasonic revealed that the new battery cells they are producing for Tesla at Gigafactory Nevada are also going to enable faster charging. Tesla has confirmed that its new 2021 Model 3 vehicles are now equipped with a new 82 kWh battery pack - thanks to new, more energy-dense battery cells produced by Panasonic.Įarlier this year, Panasonic announced an extra $100 million investment in Gigafactory Nevada, its partnership with Tesla to produce battery cells exclusively for the electric automaker.Īs part of the announcement, Panasonic said that it will increase the energy density of cells produced at Gigafactory Nevada by 5% and the total output by 10%.
