Recent reports claim that Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is planning to revamp the Model 3 as part of its secret “Highland” project.
The Tesla Model 3 was first introduced back in 2017 as a more economic option for cost-minded consumers. Since then, the electric vehicle (EV) hasn’t been given any major updates, however, and its age is starting to show.
That’s reportedly why a revamp of the Tesla Model 3 is underway, with a new project codenamed “Highland” in the works. Let’s get into everything fans of Tesla and TSLA stock investors need to know about that below!
The Tesla Model 3 Revamp
- According to reports, Tesla is aiming to launch the updated Model 3 as early as next year.
- The goal of this redesign is to simplify the interior design while also retaining features that Tesla owners love.
- This includes removing some of the more complex parts of the EV while still keeping its display.
- These changes would allow Tesla to reduce the cost of the Model 3, which makes sense considering the effects that inflation is having on markets.
- However, it’s still unclear how much cost will be saved from these alterations and if they will result in customers seeing a lower price.
- Reports also claim that the updated Model 3 will take design cues from the redesigned Model S introduced last year.
- That means we may see the inclusion of the yoke steering wheel first introduced in the Model S, although reports don’t confirm this specific detail.
- Claims also predict that the new Model 3 will sport an updated powertrain and exterior changes.
- The new version of the EV is set to be manufactured at Tesla’s Shanghai and Fremont plants.
- Production could start in Shanghai by the third quarter of 2023.
TSLA stock is up 1.7% as of Monday afternoon.
