But why Tesla does not offer this improvement in Model 3 in Europe

So, If Tesla offered this update in Europe, with the guarantee that goes with and against less than 400 euros, It’s a safe bet that most model owners of 2019 and 2020 rush on this modification. The Tesla Model 3 manual trunk has often been pointed out, including the high prices of vehicles at the time.

Best seller of the Tesla range, the Model 3 offers a technical and aesthetic refreshment at the start of 2021. And the good news is that it is accompanied by prices revised downwards.

When a model arrives in mid-career, generally after 4 years, it is customary to carry out some aesthetic and technical touch-ups which allow a refresher against the competition. This is the traditional step of restyling, and all cars are entitled to it.

At Tesla, we do not embarrass this kind of calendar considerations: when a model is marketed, it benefits from permanently technical updates, which are generally loaded remotely via Wi-Fi. This is how since its European launch in February 2019 (two years after the United States), the Model 3 has undergone more than 70 software developments. These concern both the power of the vehicle (+5%), the load speed, as well as safety or entertainment (non-exhaustive list), and all for free. A Tesla is a car that “lives”, and Elon Musk likes to recall that ” If you are waiting for a Tesla to have finished evolving to buy one, you will never buy Tesla. »»

Trunk

At the start of the year, the Model 3, the best-seller of the American brand, benefits from a rejuvenation cure which presents the particularity (for Tesla) to be visible. We recognize the “new version” by its noircis body elements (indicators of indicators, seal seals, door handles) and its revised design rims.

In detail, let us also quote the double glazing on the front windows (those of the rear have been deprived of it, it is a shame) supposed to improve the insulation of the passenger compartment, the metallic steering wheel fluff, or even the ties magnetized sun visor.

Let us also point out new digital features. The large 15-inch central screen by which the information relating to driving, comfort, and infotalization, for example, transit in real time the number of terminals available at SuperChargauteur.

Finally, the high autonomy version which is the subject of our test sees its action radius increase by 20 km, to reach 580 km in optimal conditions of use. So there is a lashing of what to see in the context of typical daily use. But the great advantage of Tesla compared to its competitors is to ensure real peace of mind when it comes to long distance mobility, thanks to a load network that continues to expand.

In France, there are currently 740 supercomposes in 87 stations. On a European scale (29 countries), some 5,580 charges in more than 580 stations are available to travelers. The kilowatt hour is now charged 36 to 38 cents depending on the stations, which sets the cost of full electrons around 25 €.

On the latest models of superchargers – V3, electric power of 250 kW – you can return to 275 km of autonomy in 15 minutes (in optimal conditions of use, is understood). In addition to the Tesla network, you can of course refuel almost everywhere or almost the high power electric terminal type ionity to the 220 V socket of your vacation rental.

But why Tesla does not offer this improvement in Model 3 in Europe ?

The Tesla Model 3 before 2021 did not have an element much appreciated by the drivers of the more recent versions: the electric rear trunk. In China, for a few hundred euros, an upgrade is offered. In Europe, unfortunately, it’s always flat calm.

The 2019 Chinese Tesla Model 3 and 2020 will be able to improve drastically, thanks to an upgrade of the rear trunk. If we know Tesla’s electric sedans today with an automatic rear trunk, this was not the case before. This electric rear chest is one of the improvements that have been added during hardware updates for the year 2021, and European drivers from old Model 3 can have it bad, because Tesla does not seem ready to offer this setting level.

An electric chest available for 380 euros

Since the spring of 2022, Tesla has offered in China an update of the rear trunk of the Tesla Model 3, against 3,980 yuan (506 euros). Since yesterday, the bill has dropped to 2,980 yuan (380 euros), which is necessarily tempting for most of the owners of the first Tesla Model 3 of the country.

Concretely, it is a question of replacing the chest cylinders, as well as adding an engine to control the opening and closing. Integration into the on -board software is immediate, and it is possible to open or close the trunk from the central screen or the mobile application. Thread solutions have existed for many years, however the installation can be tedious, and some owners fear that future concerns are not supported as a guarantee once the modification is made.

So, If Tesla offered this update in Europe, with the guarantee that goes with and against less than 400 euros, It’s a safe bet that most model owners of 2019 and 2020 rush on this modification. The Tesla Model 3 manual trunk has often been pointed out, including the high prices of vehicles at the time.

In this case, a Tesla Model 3 Great Autonomy of 2019 was billed more than 60,000 euros, against 10,000 less today. What is more, the Tesla Model 3 Propulsion which appeared much later, offered today at 41,990 euros (excluding ecological bonus), is well equipped with an electric rear trunk, but only from the 2021 version.

The owners of the first hour can therefore have it a little across the throat, especially since this addition is indeed planned by Tesla, since they have been doing it in China for more than a year. We bet that Tesla allows its customers from the start in France and Europe to enjoy an electric rear trunk soon, which would be good news for many.
