Moving to the rear, the refreshed Model 3 boasts a redesigned bumper and sleeker one-piece, C-shaped tail lights. The diffuser is taller and now incorporates the rear reflectors, akin to the Model Y. Since the tail lights are now fully attached to the trunk lid, they remain hidden when the trunk is open, and the rear reflectors now house parking/brake/turn lights as well as backup lights.
Further enhancements can be found in the reimagined 18-inch Photon and 19-inch Nova wheels, which include aero inserts for improved efficiency. The front fenders and front doors sport a more pronounced crease aft of the side repeaters, similar to the Model Y. Unlike Tesla’s traditional “T” logo, the trunk lid features the word “Tesla” in the company’s signature font, reminiscent of older Model S and roadster models.
Lastly, there’s a slightly more pronounced lip at the hood’s edge where it meets the windshield, aimed at enhancing aerodynamics. These design refinements collectively contribute to a sleeker and more contemporary appearance for the new Model 3.
2) Much Improved Interior
Tesla addresses a longstanding concern with the Model 3’s interior in the refreshed version. Quality and materials have been upgraded significantly. The interior retains its minimalist style but adds excitement with customizable ambient lighting.
