Tesla is working on the restyling of the Model 3. We have seen several spy photos of this updated model and we have already seen it. we know that some innovations will be introduced; techniques including the new Hardware 4.0. Let's talk about the new computer that manages the driver assistance systems that the American manufacturer's electric cars are equipped with.
Now, a very interesting report comes from China regarding the Tesla Model 3 with single electric motor and rear-wheel drive produced inside the Shanghai Gigafactory. According to the Chinese press, with the restyling, this model will have more of the new LMFP batteries from CATL.
INCREASES THE AUTONOMY
Therefore, the more; in detail, the new CATL accumulators would arrive on the Tesla Model 3 restyling with LMFP (lithium-manganese-iron-phosphate)-type cells which offer a density of 100%. higher energy than batteries with LFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells. According to the report, batteries with a capacity of up to 1,000 batteries could be placed on the electric sedan. of 66 kWh(the current LFP batteries are 60 kWh).
The autonomy should therefore improve with the new accumulators. The Tesla Model 3 with LFP batteries in China has a range of 556 km according to the CLTC cycle. With the new accumulators, the distance should be around 600 km (again according to the Chinese cycle CLTC). If the relationship is correct, it will be it is also interesting to discover the charging curveof these new batteries, certainly a very important aspect.
It is worth note that it is not the first time that CATL's LMFP battery is mentioned for Tesla cars. In August 2022 there was speculation about their use on Model Ys always produced within the Shanghai factory. However, they could really arrive on the electric SUV, perhaps on the occasion of its restyling which would be expected next year.
Returning to the Model 3, according to some rumors, the start of production of the updated version would be expected for the third quarter of 2023. The launch would therefore be a few months away. Therefore, all that remains is to wait for more information on the availability of the offer. of the restyling of the Tesla Model 3, codenamed "Project Highlands".
