Tesla Just Set an INSANE Bar for Chinese Electric Cars

The Chinese EV market is one of the biggest markets of electric vehicles and Tesla plans to dominate it by bringing the 400 mile Model Y. Tesla has filed for a super long-range Model Y variant that will put out 397 miles of range. It will become one of the longest-range vehicles in all of Tesla’s lineup. This will only be beaten by the Model S long-range which has an EPA estimated range of 405 miles. These two will be the top range vehicles in all of Tesla’s history. International news sources uncovered the official paperwork last week and these show that permits have been filed and the vehicle registered in them is said to boast 640 kilometers or 397 miles of range. It is based on the NEDC cycle in use by China. This figure falls to 351 miles if the EPA calculation test is done as it is more strict. However, the range that Tesla can advertise in China can go up to 400 miles, which will add to the stance of Tesla Model Y in the Chinese market compared to its major and minor competitors.
