SMM5 31 month news: a few days ago, Tesla on the official micro for the upcoming reservation of model 3 momentum, today Tesla model 3 can finally be booked in the official website, scheduled from the date is expected to be 6 to 10 months to pay, a deposit of 20, 000 yuan. However, this is not installed with Autopilot.

Tesla officially announced that the domestic version of Model 3 standard range upgrade is 460km (NEDC estimate), 100 km accelerated 5.6s, starting price is RMB 328000 yuan. On the other hand, the price of Tesla made in China can be accepted by a considerable number of Chinese people and knock on the door of China's luxury car market in an all-round way.

The Model 3 model was written into Tesla's business plan as early as 2007, was officially named Model 3 in July 2014, was officially launched in March 2016, and the first Model 3 was launched in July 2017 and began delivery in North America at the end of that month. It quickly secured more than 500000 orders and sold well in North America and Europe.

In May 2018, Tesla established a wholly owned subsidiary in Shanghai, and Musk officially confirmed in June that Tesla's first overseas factory would be built in Shanghai. In July 2018, Tesla signed an investment agreement with the Shanghai Port Management Committee and the Port Group on the investment of pure electric vehicles, and the Tesla super factory, which plans to produce 500000 pure electric vehicles a year, was officially located in the port area of Shanghai. Mr Musk said the Tesla Shanghai superfactory was Tesla's first superfactory outside the US and was expected to pilot production in 2019 and achieve mass production by 2020. When the Shanghai superplant is completed in the future, it is planned to produce about 3000 Model 3 electric vehicles per week in the initial phase.

According to SMM understand Model3 today price, performance and other data released, range can reach 460km. It is understood that the "domestic" Tesla Model3 will continue to work with Panasonic to use 21700 batteries, while Panasonic's 21700 battery manufactured by the Nevada No. 1 Super Project has been able to achieve the single energy density of 300Wh/kg. By contrast, Ningde Times said in a recent response to questions from investors that the company's NCM811 cell will be able to go on sale this year with a single energy density of 245Whg / kg and a system energy density of 180hg / kg, with mileage covering the mainstream 500Km models. Although affected by the subsidy policy this year, the domestic power battery industry is under pressure to reduce costs and slow down the process of high nickel, but considering that the domestic power battery industry will soon enter international competition after 2020, the two difficulties of cost and technology still need to be broken through.

A few days ago, under the influence of Dagu short Tesla, Tesla's share price fell accordingly, coupled with the recent continued weakness of US stocks and Tesla's first quarter financial loss, the market was more bearish on txs. With the mass production of Tesla cars in China, Tesla's advantages will continue to emerge, and the opening of the Chinese market may help Tesla out of his current predicament.
