Recently, we obtained a set of latest spy photos of the facelifted Tesla Model 3 from the Internet. It is reported that the new car further reduces the number of internal components and reduces the complexity of the body. What is certain is that even if the new car does not use 4680 batteries, the battery life and power will be improved.
As for the appearance, according to this spy photo, the overall change is not big. The new car adds a new camera at the end of the headlight group. Tesla’s automatic assisted driving adopts a purely visual solution. The new camera will further Improve the vehicle’s “vision” capabilities. According to previous overseas media reports, the overall appearance design of the new car may be consistent with the Model S model. It is inferred that the new Model 3 should only make minor changes in the sheet metal design.
The sides of the car body and the position of the roof are consistent with the current Model 3, and no new driving assistance sensor hardware is added to the side of the car body. At the rear, the shape has been slightly upgraded and optimized, and it is equipped with a new style of LED taillights.
As for the interior, the interior of the facelifted Model 3 has not yet been exposed. It is speculated that it may use the same 17-inch central control screen as the Model S Plaid, which is larger in size. In addition, the possibility of optional Yoke steering wheel may be provided.
It is worth mentioning that it is reported that officials will also optimize the battery and power. It is expected that the new car may use Tesla 4680 batteries, and its battery life is expected to be further improved. Currently, the battery is only installed on some Model Y models, and only the 4680 battery Model Y produced in small batches at the Texas Gigafactory has been delivered. The 4680 battery Model Y produced at the Berlin Gigafactory is only used for testing.
By analogy, the current Model 3 provides two powertrains, one is a rear-wheel drive board, the motor has a maximum power of 194 kilowatts and a peak torque of 340 N·m. The four-wheel drive version has dual motors with a total power of 357 kilowatts and a total torque of 659 Nm. CLTC's pure electric range is 556km and 675km. It is expected that the power of the new Model 3 will become more powerful.
