Tesla Model 3 gets a subtle facelift

The first photos of the revamped Model 3 have surfaced online – featuring a more refined center console and hopefully better quality.

Electrek and Teslarati are always good sources to quickly access Tesla news. This is also true now, when it comes to the revision of the Model 3. However, the revision will only be made in detail. Nevertheless: According to unconfirmed reports, the revised model is already being assembled at the Fremont plant. New features include the redesigned frunk and a new steering wheel, as well as an electric tailgate similar to the Model Y. Although the small metal lid does not really need the support, customers have gotten used to this feature. These new features are confirmed by various web portals such as Electrek, referring to the first photos.

The double glazing of the windows is likely to be more important and noticeable to reduce noise levels. In contrast, there is potential for savings by omitting chrome: thus, the chrome window frames and door handles will be kept in black in the future. This ensures a more modern, but not necessarily more valuable appearance. Inside, the vehicle's headliner will be darker and there will be an at least visually higher-quality center console.

More important, however, would be that the Model 3 finally gets the heat pump to become more energy-efficient in the cold season: after all, Tesla has ordered over 650,000 heat pumps from a Chinese supplier - more than the entire annual production of 2020.

What does that mean?

Tesla is now also updating the Model 3, although only slightly: it remains to be hoped that alongside the heat pump, more quality will come – as there is still some room for improvement.
