The company has already begun production of the long-range RWD model 3 at the Shanghai factory, following approval from the government, which was granted a month previously. The company initially discounted the option for the [dual-motor, all-wheel-drive version](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rivian-quad-motor). According to the New European Driving Cycle, the standard version of the car has a range of 276 miles, however, the long-range RWD Model three has a 425-mile range. The increased options may entice Chinese consumers, especially as the range of the car is drastically increased when compared to the standard version of the car.
