Tesla issued a strange warning: Some of the new cars in 2021 are equipped with 2017 battery packs

Tesla added a strange new warning that the old battery pack from 2017 is used in the all-new Model 3 car in 2021.

With just a few weeks to go until the end of the year, Tesla is in the midst of a wave of deliveries to keep inventory as low as possible.

Its chief executive, Elon Musk, told employees they didn't have to go all out this quarter, but the automaker is still struggling to reduce inventory to improve finances. This includes selling demos and test drives.

Tesla sells these cars as new cars, which have begun to appear in the past few days.

Some have pointed to a very strange warning, and Tesla has added a warning to some of the Model 3 "demo" vehicles: "This car uses a battery pack that was produced back in 2017." Although the battery module is brand new at the factory, the battery capacity has decreased due to the longer battery life, which can be reduced by 12% compared to the current production specifications. ”

The warning appeared on the Model 3 models, which are listed as 2021 models, and the mileage on the odometer is just over 1600 kilometers, which may have been used for test drives.

This is a strange situation that is difficult to explain. Tesla's claims sound as if they have old battery packs from 2017 and have decided to install them on new cars in 2021. In addition, because the prices of these cars are quite high, the automakers do not seem to have significant discounts, but this is currently the case for the entire industry.
