Tesla Model 3 Performance will start production in March

After launching the new version of the Model 3, Tesla had an ace up its sleeve. The Performance version. A sporty variant that will need more than half a year to reach the market, a time in which the North American manufacturer has taken the opportunity to finally provide it with elements that differentiate it from the other versions.

Although the first units of the Model 3 Performance have already left the California production line, it will not be until March when mass manufacturing begins, and in addition to the American plant, the Model 3 Performance will also arrive from China.

Chinese media are precisely revealing internal information from Tesla, which indicates that the new Performance will have new features that will make it a much more interesting alternative.

It is indicated that it will have elements such as a logo on the rear, which is quite similar to the Model S/X Plaid logo. An explosion pattern can be understood as a scene where the car accelerates rapidly.

Among the rumors is that this involves the launch of a Plaid version, with three engines. Something with few possibilities, but that cannot be ruled out.

On the outside, Tesla will also take measures to differentiate the most powerful version from the rest. The new Model 3 Performance will be different from the normal version: it is expected to have new aerodynamic elements, giving it a more aggressive look, and it will also be equipped with exclusive wheels, as well as high-performance brakes and tires.

The interior will also receive some changes, and for example, the materials of elements such as the seats are expected to be of higher quality. The ambient lighting will also be updated, as well as the windows, which will have a higher level of soundproofing.

In the absence of knowing whether or not there will be a Plaid version, at the moment everything indicates that the new Model 3 Performance will use a two-motor system with four-wheel drive, which will allow it to achieve a power of about 534 horsepower, with a time of acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h of approximately 3.3 seconds, and an approved range of about 600 kilometers WTP.

In addition, the Model 3 Performance will be equipped with specific software for the energy control system, to allow it to access high power requirements without efficiency problems.

The price remains to be known. At the time, in the previous generation, the difference between the Long Range Dual Motor variant and the Performance was 10% more for the sports version, therefore, the 2024 Performance version of the Model 3 should move around 54,900 euros.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar.

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
