The China Securities Journal reported that according to people familiar with the matter, the Model 3 facelift is expected to be launched within half a month.
In addition, reports say Tesla has quietly started taking orders for the Model 3 facelift. The store salesperson said that there are two options for picking up the car with a prepayment of 1,000 RMB. One is to withdraw the car, and the other is to withdraw other models, including the Model 3 facelift.
It was noticed that recently, some netizens photographed a white Tesla Model 3 on a highway in Xinjiang, China. The front and rear parts are covered by black cloth, which is suspected to be a modified test car.
The facelifted Tesla Model 3 has improved both in appearance and interior. From the previously exposed spy photos, the front bumper and headlights of the model have been adjusted. In addition, the model will also use Tesla’s latest Hardware 4.0 self-driving computer, as well as a more concise interior design. There are also rumors that the model will use a 66 kWh M3P battery provided by CATL, which may mainly use lithium manganese iron phosphate material.
