Tesla Model 3

Tesla's entry-level Model 3 now has a wait time of 2-6 weeks in China, down from 6-9 weeks previously.

Model 3 retail sales in China were 2,079 units in September, contributing 4.78 percent to Tesla's sales in the country, a new low since October 2021, likely due in part to potential customers waiting for the new Model 3.

Both versions of the new Model 3 now have an estimated wait time of 6-9 weeks in China.

The Model 3 contributed 4.78 percent to Tesla's sales in China in September, a new low since October 2021, likely because Chinese customers are waiting for the new Model 3.

That 5 millionth vehicle, a white, updated Model 3 sedan, rolled off the line at Tesla's Shanghai factory.

The new Model 3 is slightly longer than the older model, the battery suppliers are CATL and LG Energy Solution, and information on battery pack capacity is not yet available.

The Model Y contributed 79.01 percent of Tesla's retail sales in China in August and 71.42 percent in January-August.

Tesla is showcasing the revamped version of its Model 3 at a services trade fair in Beijing, after unveiling the model on September 1 for pre-sale in China.

Tesla unexpectedly started pre-sales of its revamped Model 3 in China today, with a higher starting price that may come as a relief to local rivals.

To ensure production capacity, the phase 1 battery line at Tesla's Shanghai factory, which had previously been shut down, is scheduled to resume production in September, according to local media.
