NEW Wheels on MIC M3

[itzKris]

Oye oye!

As the image shows, new wheels and increased range on the Chinese Tesla website. 375 Miles on the performance 3!

Those look like the referral reward wheels that were awarded to some owners for quite some time.

375 miles range? That would be big news. Maybe a bigger capacity battery now?

It sure does. Looks like its coming in 19" size.

Would love to get those in 19" but unfortunately I got a feeling they're cast and not flow formed.

Gorgeous wheels but there'll never be a wheel pretty enough to make up for the range hit over Aeros, IMO

It's a different measurement method.

375 mile range? (New Battery cells) imagine with 18” wheels... will get the long range version once it hits 400+ miles

 

[Jeff Davlt]

These are beautiful. Maybe they’ll trickle down to the US as an option too. It certainly seems that China gets the goods first and then the US.

So Transpondster, you got a reason for a thumbs down? Post your view with the thumbs down.

Maybe I should break it down for you.

1. they can possibly be installing the new Battery Cell
2. 18” wheels should give it a little more range as the bigger you go the less Range you see.
3. Coming from a SR+ with 233 Mile range, I wouldn’t upgrade until I see the 400+ mile Model 3 with the new cells. If it’s a true 375, I’m liking that already.

So I didn't know the Chinese Tesla site has an English section.

 

[kpeng]

That's a Model 3, not an M3.

The range in China is apparently calculated differently. See here for an overview of range testing standards (EPA vs NEDC vs WLTP). The ones used in China are different from those 3 Electric Vehicle Range Testing: Understanding NEDC vs. WLTP vs. EPA

The Chinese and WLTP ranges are all unrealistic. Even the EPA range is borderline unrealistic if you are not driving 55mph everywhere.

Apparently the new MIC cells are worse

lol to be fair, driving in London I get more than the estimated range, bloody 30mph limits...
