Tesla Refines Model 3 in Latest Update by Streamlining Features
Tesla Unveils Updated Model 3 in 2023 with Striking Exterior Redesign and Enhanced Performance
In the latter part of 2023, Tesla introduced a revamped version of its popular Model 3, which made its way to the U.S. market in early 2024. The most noticeable and celebrated aspect of this update is the significant overhaul to the exterior design, particularly the front end. Tesla's Chief Designer, Franz von Holzhausen, described the transformation as the removal of the "baby fat," resulting in a sleeker and more streamlined appearance.
The redesigned front end showcases slimmer headlights and a more refined silhouette, contributing to an overall sportier and aerodynamic look. Von Holzhausen emphasized the intentional effort to create a more sophisticated aesthetic, likening the Model 3 to a "refined athlete."
Having had the opportunity to test drive the updated Model 3, the reviewer highlighted the enhanced performance and quieter cabin noise compared to the previous version. Tesla's Vice President of Vehicle Engineering, Lars Moravy, explained a notable feature designed to reduce wind noise—an innovative ramp on the edge of the hood that deflects air over the windscreen, ensuring a quieter experience at both high and low speeds.
The 2023 update represents a significant shift for the Model 3, which had maintained a consistent design since 2017. With only a slight refresh in 2020, Tesla deemed it time for a new generation, introducing a vehicle that not only boasts a striking visual overhaul but also delivers improved performance and a more refined driving experience.
