Tesla has officially started selling the new Model 3 Performance in China, and it will be interesting to see how the car fares in the market.
Tesla launched the improved Model 3, also known as the Model 3 Highland, in China almost a year ago, but it was only a little over a month ago that the company unveiled a new performance trim of the Model 3.
There have been some regulatory issues that have delayed the start of deliveries, but the doors have recently opened up in North America, and now it appears the same is happening in China.
Tesla announced today on Chinese social media platform Weibo that it has started selling the new Performance version, with deliveries to begin within the next few weeks (translated from Chinese).
We are pleased to announce that the Model 3 Performance Edition will be officially available for pre-sale from now on, with the first deliveries scheduled to begin in mid-June! Please come and try out this high-performance car!
Pricing for the new Model 3 Performance in China starts at 335,900 yen (approximately US$46,000).
The new trim could help raise Tesla’s average selling price in China, the world’s largest EV market.
The new Model 3 Performance leverages the efficiency gains Tesla introduced in the new Model 3 version while also adding performance enhancements.
The Model S Plaid is Tesla’s flagship performance vehicle, but many people prefer the smaller and lighter Model 3 Performance.
