New V4 Tesla Supercharger available to all electric cars<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe exterior redesign is more subtle than the one given to the Model S back in 2016. The facelift, codenamed \u2018Project Highland\u2019 was kept under close wraps during development, although we were able to catch an early glimpse via spy shots revealing a slightly altered front end.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Now we can see it in full with its thinner headlights and reshaped front bumper. Tesla says the update \u201cbrings more refinement, comfort and premiumness – inside and out – while staying true to its sleek, uncluttered design aesthetic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
To the rear there are new C-shaped rear light clusters and a large faux rear diffuser on the redesigned bumper. Tesla says the exterior tweaks, along with new aero-optimised wheel designs on 18-inch and 19-inch wheels has improved the aerodynamic efficiency of the Model 3.<\/p>\n
That extra slipperiness means a low drag coefficient of 0.219 which helps to bump up the Model 3\u2019s range. Even with no claimed changes to the battery pack, the Rear-Wheel Drive now manages a claimed 319 miles from a single charge (up from 305 miles), with the Long-Range version offering 391 miles (up from 374 miles). 0-62mph for the 242bhp Rear-Wheel Drive stands at 6.1 seconds and 4.4 seconds for the 346bhp Long-Range. Range and performance figures for the facelifted \u2018Performance\u2019 model are yet to be revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Interior comfort should also be boosted by the new acoustic glass, quieter tyres, improved suspension bushings and various seals and sound-deadening materials Tesla has added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The manufacturer says the facelift Model 3 comes with a \u2018next-generation\u2019 interior. While it looks broadly similar to the current Model 3\u2019s cabin, there are a few key changes. The steering wheel takes on a new design which incorporates indicator buttons rather than stalks and the dash has new flowing wraparound ambient lighting. Instead of using a steering column-mounted gear selector, the updated Model 3 comes with gear selection via the car\u2019s central screen.<\/p>\n
The commanding 15.4-inch touchscreen is the same size as before but features more usable screen space and continues to offer over-the-air updates. Two wireless phone chargers are located beneath the main touchscreen and to the rear there are new eight-inch displays that can switch between climate control, ventilation and entertainment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The new facelifted Model 3 hasn\u2019t appeared on Tesla\u2019s UK sales site just yet, but we expect it to go on sale in early 2024 with prices starting from around \u00a345,000 for the entry-level Rear-Wheel Drive and topping out at \u00a360,000 for the Performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
