What is the weight of the domestically produced Tesla Model 3?

[RuthDella]

Tesla Model 3 currently has 2 models on sale, with a total vehicle weight of 1761kg. It is a 4-door, 5-seat sedan with dimensions of 469418501443mm. In terms of power, the Model 3-2022 comes in two versions: the Model 3 and the Performance high-performance all-wheel-drive version. It is equipped with an electric vehicle single-speed transmission, with two driving modes: rear-wheel drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive. In terms of other configurations, all or part of the Model 3-2022 models are equipped with features such as front/side airbags for the driver and front passenger, front/rear head airbags (curtains), ISOFIX child seat interface, driving assistance imaging, rear cross-traffic alert, driving mode switching, traction control (ASR/TCS/TRC, etc.), and electronic stability control (ESC/ESP/DSC, etc.). It should be noted that the Model 3 does not use an aluminum body, so the body size is reduced by 20% to offset the impact of increased weight on the range. The estimated range is around 320 kilometers. The Tesla Model 3 is included in the 47th batch of new energy vehicle models exempt from vehicle purchase tax by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

I was also curious about the weight of the domestically produced Tesla Model 3, so I specifically looked it up. The weight varies depending on the version. The rear-wheel-drive version weighs about 1,760 kg, or roughly 1.76 tons—my car is this version. The all-wheel-drive version is heavier, around 1,830 kg, or about 1.83 tons. The extra weight mainly comes from the additional battery pack and motors. However, it doesn’t feel bulky at all when driving; the acceleration is particularly stable. You do need to be a bit more careful when parking, though, since it’s significantly heavier than a typical gasoline car. This weight design is crucial for range—bigger batteries mean longer distance.

Recently, I researched the weight data of the domestically produced Tesla Model 3. The standard version weighs approximately 1.76 tons, or 1760 kg. If you opt for the all-wheel-drive or performance version, the weight can reach around 1.83 tons. This weight mainly comes from the battery pack, which accounts for nearly a quarter of the vehicle's total weight, so never underestimate that underbody. Driving this car gives a distinct feeling of a very stable chassis, especially when cornering, which boosts confidence. It's advisable to consider the differences between versions when choosing: the rear-wheel-drive version is lighter and more energy-efficient, while the all-wheel-drive version is heavier but offers better traction.

The curb weight of the domestically produced Tesla Model 3 ranges from 1.76 tons to 1.84 tons. My neighbor just bought the rear-wheel-drive version, which is 1.76 tons. On the day he picked up the car, we discussed the vehicle weight. He mentioned that the most noticeable aspect in daily driving is better control over braking distance, but it requires a few more steering adjustments when reversing into parking spaces. At this weight, the car doesn’t feel floaty at high speeds and feels particularly stable in rainy conditions. The 400+ km range relies on this weight to support the battery capacity.

The weight of the domestically produced Tesla Model 3 varies depending on the configuration. The standard version weighs around 1,760 kg, which is roughly equivalent to the weight of three adult elephants. The dual-motor version is even heavier, nearly 1.84 tons. During my test drive, I noticed two advantages of the vehicle's weight: it provides exceptional stability during high-speed lane changes and strong tire grip in rainy conditions. However, making U-turns on narrow residential roads can be a bit challenging, so it's advisable to opt for the panoramic camera. The battery section is the heaviest component, so avoid unauthorized modifications to the chassis.

Recently, I helped a friend choose a domestic Tesla Model 3 and noticed that the weight parameter is quite important. The base model weighs 1760kg, while the dual-motor version is around 1836kg. The vehicle's weight is mainly reflected in three aspects: the chassis feels particularly solid over speed bumps, unlike some lightweight electric cars that can be bumpy; the car remains very stable during charging; but you need to pay attention to inertia when parking on underground garage slopes. The weight of the battery pack gives the car a more stable driving feel similar to a fuel-powered car, especially with significantly less impact from crosswinds when crossing bridges.
