The Model 3 may still be a strong seller for Tesla, but that doesn’t mean they’re resting on their laurels. Listening to customer feedback, the EV carmaker has just revamped their entry-level sedan with more standard features and a longer range this 2026.
Overall, the changes are minor, and that means no changes to the price. For 2026, the Model 3 continues to be offered in three variants—the Standard Range Rear-Wheel Drive (P 2,109,000), the Long Range All-Wheel Drive (P 2,489,000), and the Performance All-Wheel Drive (P 3,099,000). A P 27,000 is added to these prices as Order and Admin Fees.
The Long Range All-Wheel Drive variant lives up to the name by having one of the longest, if not the longest range among EVs. This is thanks to a larger lithium-ion NCM battery that boosts the range to 660 kilometers. The Performance All-Wheel Drive variant does the same, but due to its added power, drops the range to a still impressive 571 kilometers. The Standard Rear-Wheel Drive has a carryover battery system. Still, with a 520-kilometer range, it is mighty good.
The Standard and Long Range All-Wheel Drive variants can be ordered with several options including colors (there are six choices) and two wheels sizes. Performance variant also adds a unique body kit, sport seats, an adaptive suspension system, Track Mode, and 20-inch Warp forged alloy wheels.
Regardless of Model 3 variant, the 2026 variants receive a new matte black Tesla badge at the front and back as well as a front parking camera that enhances the vision-based Auto Pilot system.
Inside, the 2026 Model 3 returns the indicator stalk, while also deleting the controversial signal buttons located on the steering wheel. The gear selector, however, is still accessible via the large central screen.
Deliveries of the 2026 Model 3 start soon, but orders are already open on the official Tesla website. Like all Tesla models, it carries a 4 year or 80,000-kilometer bumper-to-bumper warranty and an 8-year or 160,000-kilometer battery warranty.
Miles reliable and prestigous than byd
ReplyDelete"prestigious"
DeleteTell that to Europe where Musk's Nazi antics have soiled this brand, maybe for good.
Tesla EVs are like Ford which are cheaply made,bare and unreliable
DeleteUnreliable? Says the guy who's never owned one. My Model S is more than a decade old and still going strong.
DeleteVirtue signal much? Speaking of Nazis, German auto brands have actual Nazi ties. One of those brands was founded by the Nazis led by Hitler himself. Europeans have really lost the plot.
DeleteSome crazy Europeans ditch freedom of speech defender elon tesla and ignorantly embraced Communist BYD.
DeleteI think comparing actual present-day Nazi signalling and rhetoric vs WW2 connections is truly losing the plot. Germans have had decades accepting the shame of their past. It's taught in schools and has shaped future generations. Unlike places like Japan where they refuse to have any shameful history taught and current Japanese scoff at the idea of their ancestors having done bad things.
DeleteAnd dude, I'm not virtue signalling when I'm simply talking about the well documented (by news and reports) decline of sales of Tesla in Europe DIRECTLY FOLLOWING the actions of Musk. Learn what those words mean and try and google 'false equivalence' while you're at it.
(and LOL at the 'freedom of speech defender' comment 🤣)
Then pray tell, what are the Nazi antics of Musk? If the only thing you can point out is that awkward gesture Elon did during Trump’s inauguration rally, or his overall support of right wing movements globally, or that you simply heard it from the media or some influencer, then those are just opinions and not grounded on proper reason. My main point is, the true meaning and weight of being labeled a Nazi is getting lost as more and more people throw out the word like it was just another cuss word. Case in point, you just threw out the word Nazi just to be edgy in the comments.
DeleteCalling the salute (which he did multiple times) an "awkward gesture" shows that you have fallen prey to the clean-up efforts of the US administration-aligned media messaging.
Delete"Overall support of right wing movements globally" - did you really write this and think it doesn't hold any weight in describing fascists? lol
And if you think the true meaning and weight of the word Nazi (currently popularly used interchangeably with fascism) is getting diluted then would you care to define it for us? Are you really just bringing this down to semantics? Should they be goose-stepping and dropping bombs before the use of the term is appropriate? I suppose the many 'organized marches' of groups carrying flags with the hakenkreuz (the Nazi swastika) are just a bunch of cosplayers then? So, Musk must just really like their costumes, right?
If you are a Filipino I can understand not understanding or properly appreciating the history of Nazism but if you actually cared about not repeating history then you should be aware of the many (and growing) number of parallels between the rise of Nazi Germany and the things happening in US right now, whether directly through the actions of the US administration or those supporting said actions (i.e. Musk - especially with what he turned twitter into - at least before he fell out of favor from the administration).
Going back to cars, since we are after all on a car review website, it seems Europe as a whole disagrees with you in that they do perceive Musk's antics as such as evidenced by their dwindling of support (sales). Look at Germany, I wonder why they would be so against Tesla given what happened if it's all actually just a big misunderstanding? You can't even accidentally make any awkward gestures over there so why should you care right?
Trying to dismiss someone as being edgy for simply stating facts (that Tesla sales in Europe went down after all the stuff Musk did because Europe saw it as too close to being, if not openly, fascist) is unfortunate but I've seen it happen often enough in internet discussions, so no real surprise there.
Just let me be clear on this, it doesn't even matter if YOU think I'M wrong because I am not the "European market", I'm just a guy.
But, Europe is voting with their wallets and when asked why they wouldn't buy Tesla it's a common enough answer that they don't like what Musk did. And whether YOU think THEY are wrong, again, doesn't actually matter.
I'm actually a US citizen, so American politics matters more to me than you would think. Also, the irony of you calling out false equivalence when you just dropped one yourself is not lost on me. You immediately went for the jugular and outright implied that right wingers are fascist. Fascists are extremists, same as the communists on the opposite side of the political spectrum. I can already see that we'll never meet eye-to-eye, no pun intended, so let's just agree to disagree. On a final note, Tesla is doing well in some parts of Europe. That just goes to show Europe is not as monolithic of a market as you claim it to be.
DeleteAye, agree to disagree. At least you're acknowledging that fascists are extremists and that you don't seem to be part of the "are/were the Nazis really that bad?" club which seems to be alarmingly large (at least how I see it from afar) over there, even if we disagree on where the use of the label is appropriate.
DeleteI don't want to stretch things too much either but I want to at least mention that; in the US even your democrats are at most center-right (Bernie's maybe dead center) compared to European political leanings so maybe consider that those even further right to the typical conservative in the US looks MUCH further (read:dangerously) right (rhetoric especially) to those in Europe. Like have you heard/seen how extreme the talking points of several of the popular right wing influencers are? (you don't have to answer that, I'm just putting that out there).
And yes, Europe is not a monolithic market but the total market year-to-date sales have undoubtedly dropped though it is less overall now compared to when it started when Musk started doing his thing (which you again didn't bother to address but whatever). Don't think your pickiness in choosing what to answer is lost on me either but again let's not get too invested in an online discussion.
You have yourself a nice day, Mr. US citizen-commenting-on-a-Philippine-car-review-website.

I think zeekr 001 has a longer range
ReplyDeleteWould the price include auto pilot found at the US, it can drive effortless at l highways
ReplyDeleteOnly basic AutoPilot. The full AutoPilot will set you back close to P 400K. You can check the order page for details.
DeleteAvailable already in the Philippines?
ReplyDeleteAvailable for orders.
DeleteWhat was the plan again for Tesla Re: nationwide charging stations?
ReplyDeleteClaimed range and actual range varies a lot. In a lot of real world YouTube videos by car reviewers the Tesla is always the nearest to the claimed range
ReplyDeleteAnd chinese EV's the farthest?
