Tesla has updated the entry-level Model 3 offer in China, following its new global approach to remove the "Standard Range" name and increase prices.

The entry-level Model 3 is no longer Standard Range Plus, but just Model 3 RWD (just like the Model Y RWD). A similar name change happened in the U.S.

It now starts at 250,900 yuan ($39,290) after subsidies, which is 15,000 CNY ($2,350) or 6.4% than before.

Another change is that the 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration of the car is slower now - increased from 5.6 seconds to 6.1 seconds.

Finally, Tesla has updated the range ratings from NEDC to the new CLTC, which are higher by 19% (at least on paper) - 556 km (346 miles) vs 468 km (291 miles) - but we guess that the physical results are the same (unless there is an increase in battery capacity).

The Long-Range Performance version is also rated in CLTC with 11.5% more range: 675 km (420 miles).
