If so, the new Tesla Model 3 will look very different than before
So recently, a photo of what many believe could be the new updated Tesla Model 3 with a redesigned face appeared online. This has led many to believe it could be showing the “Project Highland” update that is set to debut later this year and if the picture is legitimate, then the new Model 3 will look drastically different than before.
The picture was taken in an unknown warehouse location and went viral on Reddit where users shared their thoughts on the new Tesla design. Many wondered if this is legit or whether it is simply an unrelated independent tuning project, but the relatively stock and simple look would suggest it is the former.
Moreover, the possibly updated Tesla Model 3 now sports a new face, with new LED headlights bringing which make it look more similar to the larger Models S and X in terms of exterior design. The bumper looks cleaner thanks to the straight character lines and the slightly smaller intake, while the front fenders and bonnet are also new.
The changes are in line with previous spy shots of camouflaged prototypes, although changes are more extensive than originally expected. This makes the new Tesla Model 3 completely unrecognisable, in a good way, as I think the new look of the car is much better than the current model.
While the interior is not visible from the windshield and appears to be covered on purpose, the bump in front of the large central infotainment screen sticking out can be seen clearly. Besides looking different and bringing a few technology updates, the upcoming Tesla Model 3 will also likely be cheaper to produce as per previous statements from CEO, Elon Musk.
On top of that, this will allow the automaker to be more profitable, as it now has to compete with more rivals from China and Europe in this segment. This might finally be the push Tesla needs to turn its less than ideal fiscal year last year and perhaps help the brand regain its throne as the number 1 EV maker.
According to the latest reports, production of the 2024 Tesla Model 3 will start in September 2023 in the Shanghai and California factories. Tesla is also working on a similar update for the Model Y, which is set to enter production in October 2024 and we have already covered this before as well.
Well, I honestly really like the new look of the new Tesla model 3 but, again, until this is confirmed by Tesla, then we can only speculate that this is what the updated Model 3 could look like, so take everything in this article with a grain of salt. Still, I hope it is true as I like the way it looks. What about you?
