Its 0-100 km/h acceleration time has changed from 5.6 seconds to 6.1 seconds.

Information on Tesla's China website shows that the price of the rear-wheel-drive entry-level China-made Model 3 has been increased by RMB 15,000 to RMB 250,900 from RMB 235,900 previously.

The range of the model has been increased from 468 km NEDC to 556 km under CLTC, but its 0-100 km/h acceleration time has been changed from 5.6 seconds to 6.1 seconds.

The model's delivery time is the first quarter of next year, information on Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) website shows.

Notably, the Model 3 nomenclature has also been changed to be consistent with the Model Y, with "Model 3" and "Model 3 Performance," respectively.

Tesla updated the Model Y nomenclature last week, when the Model 3 nomenclature was left unchanged.

Pricing for the Model 3 Performance as well as the Model Y remained unchanged.
