Tesla Wheels In Redesigned Model 3 For 2024
By Nicole Rodrigues, 05 Sep 2023
Tesla’s 2024 Model 3 has made its first appearance in Europe with a fresh facelift. This latest update brings a host of changes, both inside and out, to the beloved Model 3.
The vehicle’s front end showcases a more refined look, with improved squinter headlights and a smoother front bumper.
Moving to the rear, you’ll notice slimmer taillights and a redesigned rear bumper. Additionally, Tesla has opted for its brand name in full lettering instead of the traditional logo on the trunk, and the taillights are now situated on the trunk lid, allowing the fog lamps to serve as lamp assemblies.
In terms of aesthetics, Tesla has introduced more efficient wheel options, with 18-inch and 19-inch choices, along with two new colors, Ultra Red and Stealth Grey, providing a wider range of options for potential buyers.
Inside the Model 3, subtle changes include contrasting trim, replacing the previous woodgrain strip on the dashboard, and adding ambient lighting to create a welcoming interior atmosphere. The dashboard now houses a 15.4-inch display with thinner bezels, increased brightness, and improved contrast for an enhanced user experience.
The center console features two smartphone charging pads, and the sound system boasts an impressive 17 speakers for a richer auditory experience. Rear passengers also benefit from an eight-inch touchscreen on the center console, which allows control over the climate and entertainment systems.
The front seats are now fixed with faux-leather upholstery and have standard heating and ventilation. Outside of that, laminated window glass has been added to reduce noise in the rear.
The driving range of the 2024 Model 3 remains consistent with the previous model, offering 272 miles for the single-motor rear-wheel-drive version and 333 miles for the dual-motor all-wheel-drive model.
While the release date for the 2024 Model 3 in the American market is yet to be announced, it is anticipated to debut before the year’s end.
