China Black M3P for $52k?

[nsyr]

According to tesla.cn the model 3 performance has a range of 290 miles at a price of $52619.58 US. The base color is black instead of white with white costing extra and it comes with zero G wheels. I would assume this has an LFP battery pack. I wonder when the US will get this "version".

Why are you assuming this has a LFP battery pack?

It's also rear wheel drive, which probably accounts for some of the difference. Wish we had that option here. They also use a different standard to measure the range. But at least according to the translation they do call the performance, the Racing Package, can't do that here.

It is Dual Motor.

Tesla has updated its Made-in-China (MIC) Model 3 online design studio for the Chinese market, with the final price and specs for the Performance version and removal of the Long Range RWD version.

Came here to find out whether the battery in my M3P is NCA or LFP.

But while on this topic, I find it hard to believe that this MIC M3P has a range of 376 miles.

Seems the PRC's Communist Party is even worse than our USG EPA at providing real world estimates.
