Tesla is reportedly working on a refreshed version of its Model 3, codenamed “Highland”, and a prototype of the vehicle has been spotted sporting new wheels. The new wheels appear to be 18” aero wheels without the aero cap, and the spokes come into the center at different angles. This could indicate that Tesla has changed the design of the aero caps as well.
The new Model 3 prototype was spotted in California late last year and again earlier this month. It features heavy camouflage on the front and back, making it difficult to identify any specific changes to the vehicle. However, the new wheels are a clear indication that Tesla is making some changes to the Model 3.
The new Model 3 refresh is expected to incorporate Tesla’s large casting technology, which has enabled the company to greatly improve manufacturing efficiency with the Model Y compared to Model 3. CEO Elon Musk has said that Tesla will bring the same technology to the Model 3 eventually, but he couldn’t exactly say when.
It’s not clear when Tesla plans to announce the new updated Model 3, but more details could be released on Investor Day next week as the automaker is expected to give a product roadmap update. The refreshed Model 3 could be released during the second half of 2023, but only time will tell.
