The internet is buzzing over a photo that may show the Tesla Model 3 “Highland” facelift. The all-black car in the photo has no logos but bears a striking resemblance to the Model 3 even though it has not been confirmed by Tesla. The nose and headlights, however, look new and there’s a binnacle in front of the driver to accompany the current solo middle screen.
Is this the Model 3 refresh we’ve been waiting for? Rumors tracing back to 2022 suggest that Tesla was planning to revamp its most popular sedan and launch it in the second half of 2023. Tesla no longer has a PR department so we’ll have to keep our ears to the ground and wait for confirmation.
We think this might very well be the Model 3 “Highland” and the biggest news might be a camera upgrade. It’s rumored that the nine 1.2-megapixel cameras scattered around the car will be replaced by modern 5-megapixel versions. Squint and see if you can tell the differences between this alleged leaked photo and the current car. We see slightly slimmer headlights and a smoothed bumper with no outboard cooling vents. When will we see a refreshed Model 3? Hopefully, this year so stay tuned to ElectrifiedMag.
