Tesla Unveils Upgraded Model 3 with Improved Design and Longer Range

Electric car manufacturer Tesla has finally unveiled a revamped, improved version of the Model 3 that has been heavily rumored for months. We can probably call this one of the most anticipated electric cars of this year, with the Model 3 receiving the first really big improvements in six or seven years. As you know, Tesla regularly updates its software, but here is a refreshed design, improved aerodynamics and other changes.

When this car was still rumored, it was called Project Highland, and immediately noticeable changes in the visual design of the car. The design changes are not only cosmetic – Tesla states that the car’s aerodynamics have been improved by 8%, which may not sound like a huge amount, but every little thing matters in order to go further with one charge. The car has also grown in length by 2.5 centimeters and is now 4.72 meters long.

More interesting numbers can be seen in the box next to range, or the driving distance on a single charge – the updated Model 3 with rear-wheel drive and 18-inch wheels can travel 554 kilometers in the WLTP cycle, while the Long Range version is capable of up to 678 kilometers. For comparison, this is about 11% more than current cars. With 19-inch rims, the mileage figures drop slightly. Power parameters have remained the same. Tesla has revealed that it has reworked the geometry of the front suspension in an effort to improve the driving characteristics and comfort of the car.

The manufacturer promises that the interior of the updated Model 3 will be quieter thanks to better soundproofing materials. The 15.4-inch display still takes center stage in the cabin, which is the same size as before, but with smaller bezels this time. Passengers sitting at the back have access to an 8-inch screen, where they can adjust the climate control settings according to their wishes.

The first deliveries in Europe will start already in mid-October, and production of the modernized Model 3 has begun at Tesla’s largest factory in Shanghai, from where it is likely that deliveries of cars will start immediately.
