TESLA'S BIG ANNOUNCEMENT - NEW HIGHLAND MODEL 3 IS HERE! 12 HUGE CHANGES

EV Channels Review

The "Highland" refresh of the Tesla Model 3 is detailed, highlighting 12 significant changes. Exterior updates include a redesigned front and rear with new headlights and taillights, potentially a powered frunk, and new color options like Quicksilver and Abyss Blue. Internally, the Model 3 will receive an upgraded audio system, ambient lighting, ventilated seats, and a rear display. A major point of contention is the removal of physical stalks for turn signals and gear selection, replaced by touch-sensitive buttons and screen gestures, a move the reviewer acknowledges will be controversial but believes is manageable after a learning curve. The integration of Hardware 4 cameras is also confirmed. Pricing remains uncertain, with potential for inventory liquidation discounts on current models before the new one arrives, likely in Q4. The Model Y is expected to receive similar interior updates later, with a full exterior refresh anticipated by the end of 2024.
