Tesla’s New ‘Project Highland’ Model 3 Leaked, And We Love How It Looks – SlashGear

Although Tesla has confirmed very little about what is likely to be a replacement or refresh of the popular Model 3, plenty of information about the vehicle has already been leaked. Major changes include new headlights, front and rear bumpers, redesigned wing mirrors, and interior changes. 

More cameras and sensors are also expected to be added to the new Model 3. Some of these changes have been spotted in multiple leaks, including this most recent photo, which clearly features a set of redesigned headlights, revamped mirrors, and a totally different front bumper.

Not all the rumors are positive, though. The interior changes are expected to be more focused on cutting costs than increasing comfort. Expect wood to make way for fabric in an attempt to keep the price of the new Model 3 as low as realistically possible. The new Tesla’s temperature sensor, which allows drivers to accurately check the current outside temperature, is another potential omission, according to reports. 

While Musk has previously identified price as a major barrier to EV adoption, and has previously promised to put out a car with an MSRP as low as $25,000, some enthusiasts may be put off by the austere cuts required to get there. Still, if the leaks prove to be true, the sleek exterior may be enough to make potential customers overlook the possible lack of luxury touches and missing features.
