01 TESLA MODEL 3 (2023)
Tesla's obsession with minimalist interiors is well documented by now and I can't help but think also a bit unhealthy. Happily, the rest of the updates to this new model are more conventional and bring about significant improvements to the way the Model 3 drives and feels.
The new upgraded Model 3 couldn't have come at a better time. For a time, Tesla was the first brand you'd think of if you wanted to get a sensible electric car. But the competition is now a lot keener. This new model is what the industry would refer to as a facelift. But as far as facelifts go, the changes are quite substantial. Tesla says around 50% of the parts are new and are centred on making the car more efficient, quiet, and luxurious.
The changes start on the outside with slimmer headlights and a more aerodynamic front end. I reckon it also makes the Model 3 look more attractive.
More importantly, this shaves the Model 3's drag coefficient from 0.225 down to 0.219, which, according to Tesla, helps improve the Model 3's range by about 10%.
