Tesla will update the Model 3 with a restyling 2021 which includes a number of new features. Among these, the new central console, new wheels for both the Long Range and Performance , and the new heat pump. These are not just aesthetic changes, but a general improvement in the efficiency of the vehicle with greater autonomy for the various versions and slightly higher performance.

The double engine of the Long Range version obtains an increase in autonomy of approximately 20 kilometers, now touching the 580 kilometres. The other versions of the vehicle also achieved an increase in range: the Model 3 Standard Range Plus offers 430 Km of autonomy (before 409 Km), while for the Performance Tesla announces an improvement of 37 kilometers, arriving at 567 Km .

The new electro-actuated trunk arrives on Model 3 , opening with a touch on the relative physical button, but also via the internal touch-screen or the app. As expected, and as already happened for the Model Y , a satin black will take the place of the chrome and will be applied to the handles. The circles completely change: from 18 / 19 inch Sport for the first two versions and type Uberturbine from 20 inches for Model 3 Performance.

The most important aesthetic innovations concern the interiors , with the new steering wheel with metallic finish , which is now also heated, and the new central console, already mentioned. There are also two additional USB-C ports for high-speed charging of devices, and an additional USB-A port in the glove compartment.

All versions have slight performance improvements, in ‘order of tenths of a second as regards the acceleration from 0 to 100 Km / h: in particular, the Model 3 Performance will take 3.3 seconds to reach 100 Km / h .

There are also some minor changes, such as a graphite finish upholstery at the seat controls, and other interior changes, which will surely be revealed in detail when the vehicle is in circulation. Of these, the new heat pump is certain, which should improve the efficiency of the cooling system of the battery.

Regarding the prices , yes starts from 49.500 EUR for the Standard Range Plus, from 57.920 EUR for the Long Range and from 64.590 EUR for the Performance. Deliveries for the latter two, in restyling 2021, will start in November , while for the Standard Range Plus it will be necessary to wait until February 2021 .
