The story behind the name

The '3' fills the 'E' in Tesla's 'S3XY' line-up because Ford held the Model E name. Giga Shanghai, China's first wholly foreign-owned car plant, delivered its first Model 3s in December 2019; the 'Highland' facelift of 2023 was developed with Shanghai as the lead factory.

Quick answer

The Tesla Model 3 starts at RMB 235,500 on Tesla China's website, with 612 to 830 km CLTC range depending on version and wheel size.

How to buy the Tesla Model 3 from China

  1. Choose the version and colour.
  2. A licensed Chinese exporter sends you a written quote.
  3. Sign the contract; you pay only after signing.
  4. Inspect the car, or see it on a video call, before it ships.
  5. It ships by RoRo or container and is delivered to you (DAP); a local customs agent clears it.

In the EU or the UK? We only export to private buyers for their own use, not to dealers. A China-market car needs individual approval (IVA) in your country before it can be registered — cost and time vary by country; EU import duty is 10%, plus your country's VAT. If a model can't get approval, we tell you straight away.

Tesla Model 3 buyer questions

How much does the Tesla Model 3 cost in China?

These are China prices, not export prices; shipping, duty and taxes come on top.

What is the range of the Tesla Model 3?

Tesla China lists CLTC range of up to 634 km (rear-drive), 830 km (Long Range rear-drive), 753 km (Long Range AWD) and 670 km (Performance); the 19-inch wheel option gives less on the first three (Tesla China, 2026-10-28). CLTC is a Chinese test cycle; real-world range is lower.

How fast is the Tesla Model 3?

Tesla China lists 0-100 km/h in 6.1 s (rear-drive), 5.2 s (Long Range rear-drive), 3.8 s (Long Range AWD) and 3.1 s (Performance, up to 460 hp). It is about 4,720 mm long and 1,442 mm high (Tesla China, 2026-10-28).

Which charger does a China-built Tesla Model 3 use?

China-market cars use GB/T sockets for AC and DC charging. Many other markets use Type 2 and CCS2, so an adapter may be needed (Akyga, 2025-08-27). Compatibility varies by car and charger; check local rules and ask us which version you would receive.

Can I import the Tesla Model 3 from China into my country?

Tesla sells and exports through its own channels; export availability from China for your country needs to be checked case by case. Import and registration rules also differ by country. Pure electric cars need a Chinese export licence since 1 January 2026 (CnEVPost, 2025-09-26). Send us your country and we will check; we cannot promise availability.
