ELON MUSK LEAKED! ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW 2024 MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE UPGRADE! ACTIVE HOOD TECH EXPLAINED

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland Performance is poised to be a significant release, building on the "Highland" refresh with a strong emphasis on driving enthusiasts. The video confirms the return of the Performance variant, expected in early 2024, with a potential price point around $57,000 in China, though North American pricing might be lower due to tax credits and market differences. Key upgrades include the potential for a more powerful 5D1 motor, possibly derived from the Model S Plaid, aiming for acceleration under 3 seconds (0-60 mph). Visually, expect a more aggressive body kit, sportier seats, and upgraded wheels. A notable safety enhancement is the "Active Hood" technology, designed to pop up the hood in a pedestrian collision to reduce injury severity, a feature previously seen in other brands but now integrated into the Model 3 Highland. While production is reportedly underway at the Shanghai factory, the video highlights that this variant is not just a rumor but a confirmed comeback, eagerly anticipated by the EV community.
