• Tesla wants to redesign the Model 3 by autumn
• The redesign is codenamed “Highland”
• The changes aim to lower the purchase price
A successor to Tesla’s Model 3 is expected to be launched in the third quarter of this year: the vehicle, which has been on the market for five years, is undergoing a redesign.

Among them, there is wild speculation as to what innovations the redesign includes. In view of the veiled front end, many Tesla fans on Twitter assume that changes are pending here. A user also wants to recognize new wheels in the pictures.
The interior is also redesigned
An insider confirmed some of this speculation about the redesign of the Model 3, codenamed “Highland”, to the portal Not A Tesla App. New headlights and a new bumper are to come – both for a nicer look and to improve aerodynamics. In addition to new mirrors to optimize the autopilot, new cameras are to be added and, in return, the outside thermometer is to be removed.
In addition to the changes to the exterior design, the interior of the Model 3 is also apparently being revised. There will reportedly be a stronger focus on the features that Tesla drivers have valued the most to date, to save costs. The complexity of the interior should be scaled back.
Tesla has not yet officially confirmed any of the information
Not A Tesla App wants to know that, for example, previous wood paneling will be replaced by the Alcantara fabric surface that is also used in the Model S and Model X. There will also be a major redesign of the dashboard – but it is not known exactly what this will look like.
It is also important that neither the speculation of Tesla fans nor the information from insiders have been officially confirmed by Tesla. The question of the reason for the apparently planned price reduction was also not commented on. The EFAHRER portal assumes that the great success achieved by Tesla’s Chinese competitor BYD in recent months may have played a role in the decision.
