NEW TESLA MODEL 3 HIGHLAND - WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR?

EV Channels Review

This video provides an in-depth look at the forthcoming Tesla Model 3 'Highland' revision, detailing anticipated changes based on leaks and spy shots. The reviewer highlights significant overhauls expected in manufacturing, including the adoption of structural castings similar to the Model Y, which should improve build quality and production efficiency. Key areas of improvement discussed include potential upgrades to battery capacity (around 66 kWh for the standard range), new, more efficient motors promising increased real-world range (potentially 350-400 miles), and advancements in headlight technology with active Matrix LEDs. The interior is expected to receive substantial updates, drawing inspiration from the Model S/X, featuring new ambient lighting, recycled materials, an improved audio system, and potentially a yoke steering wheel option and the removal of traditional stalks. Ride comfort and seat design are also flagged for improvement, with mentions of comfort suspension and better bolstering. While the reviewer expresses excitement for these potential enhancements, they also note the loss of steering feel with the rumored 'steer-by-wire' system and the ongoing debate around the yoke. The video concludes by emphasizing that the Model 3 remains a class-leading electric car, and these revisions aim to further solidify its position, though official confirmation and release dates remain uncertain.
