News from the IT family on October 1st: According to official Tesla announcements, the Model model series has been updated. The currently available Model models have all been upgraded with 16-inch high-definition touchscreens, and customers can also opt for a light gray premium interior. Additionally, the Model 3/Y models now come with an external power supply function. For those purchasing cars, orders placed by October 31, 2026 (inclusive), will enjoy a temporary discount of 5,000 yuan on the final payment. After applying for relevant benefits, the starting price of the Model 3 is 222,500 yuan.
From the configuration changes, it can be seen that the currently available Model models will see a focus on upgrading the cabin interaction hardware: a 16-inch high-definition touchscreen featuring higher resolution and a higher refresh rate, covering navigation, audio-visual, gaming, and other scenarios. In terms of the interior, the new car adds a light gray premium interior option, which, according to the official description, pairs well with a black fabric ceiling to create a more upscale feel.
In terms of expanding usage scenarios, all models in the Model 3/Y series now come with an additional AC power supply function, with a maximum power of 2200W. Theoretically, it can simultaneously power a portable rice cooker of about 600W, an electric hot pot of about 1kW, and a portable electric kettle of about 600W. It's important to note that this function requires the purchase of a separate Tesla AC power adapter, except for the Model Y L model.
IT has noticed that in terms of promotional policies, from now until October 31, 2026 (inclusive), those who place an order for Model 3 and pick up the vehicle according to the order terms can enjoy an immediate discount of 5,000 yuan on the remaining payment. The official also offers a "Golden Autumn Package" benefit, which includes a 5-year interest-free financial plan, with the down payment after the discount being 79,900 yuan and the monthly payment as low as approximately 2,377 yuan; there is also an insurance subsidy of 8,000 yuan, a limited-time car paint option benefit of 8,000 yuan, and three exclusive charging benefits to choose from.
