Tesla's Model 3 page has been updated, highlighting changes in its batteries.
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are no longer included in the sedan's order information, Teslarati reported Tuesday. The U.S. order page also notified customers that the Model 3 would now be available in three variants.
The versions are the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive ($42,490), Long Range All-Wheel Drive ($47,490) and Performance ($54,990), which have the mentioned starting prices before options and incentives are offered to interested buyers.
The Model 3 previously included LFP and an EPA-estimated range of 272 miles per charge. However, the car was affected by the Biden administration's increase in tariffs on imported Chinese EVs and batteries in the country.
