Tesla Model 3 gains more range in Europe with new wheel package
Tesla has increased the Model 3's range in Europe without battery changes by updating its wheels. The standard Model 3 RWD now comes with 18-inch Prismata wheels instead of Photon wheels, improving aerodynamics and lowering rolling resistance. This raises the WLTP range from 534 km to 572 km, a 7.1% increase. The update applies to all European left-hand drive markets, excluding the UK and Ireland where Photon wheels and the previous range remain available.
- WLTP range increased from 534 km to 572 km in Europe
- New 18" Prismata wheels replace Photon wheels on Model 3 RWD
🔎 Why it matters: The European Model 3 RWD version improves range through 18" Prismata wheels instead of battery changes.
📈 Upside: 7.1% range increase without modifying battery or motor.
📉 Risk: Improvement excludes RHD markets like the UK and Ireland, limiting its reach.
