The Model 3 update and the new Model Y have seen four consecutive increases since delivery
Tesla has been in China for 10 years since its official entry in 2013. At the end of October this year, the updated version of the Model 3 produced by China Intelligent Manufacturing began to be delivered, with improvements made in multiple aspects such as exterior design, driving experience, cabin interaction, and safety. Tesla stated that many suggestions from Chinese car owners have been adopted by Tesla's China R&D Innovation Center in this facelift, such as the Model 3, which has undergone a major interior upgrade: the addition of customizable ambient lighting; Equipped with an 8-inch rear LCD screen, multifunctional operations including passenger seat adjustment, air conditioning volume, and video playback can be completed in the rear seat. At the same time, the seat system has also been optimized, providing a more enveloping feel and providing more support for the driver's waist, effectively improving the comfort of long-distance self driving.
Tesla's best-selling model, Model Y, also ushered in an important evolution specifically for the Chinese Mainland market during the "National Day" this year: a new multi-color atmosphere light was added, the dashboard and front door trim panels were made of scientific and technological textile materials, and the interior texture was full; The updated 19 inch Gemini wheel design not only adds points to its appearance, but also maintains an extremely low drag coefficient; The Model Y rear wheel drive version has an improved 0-100 km/h acceleration capability of 1 second, only 5.9 seconds, comparable to the acceleration performance of a million dollar luxury fuel supercar.
It is worth noting that with the delivery of two new cars, Tesla China has raised the price of the Model 3/Y four times in a month. Starting from the end of October, the Model 3/Y series has undergone three price adjustments, with price increases ranging from 1500 yuan to 14000 yuan. After the latest price increase, the Model Y Long Range All Wheel Drive Edition has been sold for a starting price of 304400 yuan. It is reported that the last month before the end of the year will be the golden window for acquiring Tesla, and currently Tesla also offers limited time referrals and other benefits. Tesla staff pointed out, "Starting from 2024, buying Tesla again may miss out on this wave of comprehensive benefits worth nearly 10000 yuan. In addition, after the purchase tax subsidy is reduced, purchasing some Tesla models will also require paying taxes ranging from about 2000 yuan to 44000 yuan."

It is reported that Tesla currently has a five horizontal and six vertical charging network in Guangzhou, with a close layout of the core CBD commercial district, which can be reached within 15 minutes within the city. The layout of the entrance and exit of the expressway has been intensified, with rapid energy replenishment and convenient travel. At present, all models of S3XY only need 15 minutes of charging to supplement the range of over 250 kilometers. Tesla stated that the construction of future charging related infrastructure in Guangzhou will continue to maintain "acceleration" to meet the growing demand of local consumers.
Currently, Tesla's full scenario charging solution is composed of home charging, super charging, destination charging, third-party charging compatibility, and portable mobile charging. In April this year, Tesla announced the official opening of charging stations for some non Tesla branded electric vehicles in Chinese Mainland. In the future, Tesla will continue to expand the scope of charging network opening in Chinese Mainland, and will serve more electric vehicle users with full scene charging solutions.
