The Restyled Tesla Model 3 Spotted Unexpectedly on the Road

As controversy rages over the spectacular price reductions of the iconic Tesla Model 3, here is that its restyled version has been spotted in California.

If you take a look at the Tesla configurator, you will notice that the Model 3 is now sold starting at €44,990, excluding the €5,000 bonus. That’s €39,990 for the final customer. A very attractive price compared to more expensive competitors that often offer less range. Just a few weeks ago, at the end of 2022, the American electric sedan was sold for nearly €14,000 more when accounting for the bonus incentive.

Such a decision is, of course, beneficial, but it disadvantages many customers who paid full price for their Tesla Model 3. This controversy is likely to fuel debates about Tesla for quite a long time, unless the manufacturer decides to offer a goodwill gesture to its customers.

Expected changes across all levels

While waiting for future developments of this story, a so-called “scoop” image is circulating online, showing the supposed restyled version of the Tesla Model 3. Although many panels hide the front and rear of the Model 3, it is highly likely that the design will evolve as indicated by the Reuters news agency regarding “Project Highland“, which aims to significantly reduce production costs by simplifying the number of body parts and interior components. The interior is expected to be even more minimalist, which would be a true feat, given that it is already very minimalistic apart from the large multimedia screen. However, this screen should feature a more modern interface and new functionalities.

On the technical side, a new technology is expected to equip the Tesla Model 3 CRU 2023, featuring 4680 cells, promising better range according to the manufacturer.
