I think the rear screen will make it into cybertruck if its coming to the highland model 3.

Brilliant! Going to dominate the ev market in China and then US. Next step in Tesla separating from the rest of the market

I'm really impressed, better than I expected. Bodes well for Cybertruck honestly, can't image it won't match and beat Model 3 in features.

Any idea when we can order in the US? I'm getting a performance.

According to Tesla Daily, no Performance version yet.

Hope it’s true, drove a Model 3 for a year and got rid of it. Was ? driving on the road!

The improvements on the new 3 are impressive. The only thing I don't like is the front headlights and bumper from an aesthetic perspective. The rear lights look great and I like how they made the 5th seat headrest a fixed one that's shaped.

I think it's a great update. I only hate two things. No stalks and no front camera. Everything else makes me want to trade in my '19. However, those negatives out way all the positives. This will be the first "affordable" stalk-less car. I'm very interested to see if the sale numbers/reviews are terrible, if they walk that back.

Edit: it will have a front camera. Now I wait to see if they have manual buttons for gear section. They must, right?

The average Joe on the street won’t be able to pickup on the exterior changes.

The Model Y refresh is next.

$TSLA $300+...soon!

The changes to the Model 3 are significant. When these changes come to the Model Y, another big sales increase...!

odd, since the M3 owners i know love their cars.

Interior is actual more CyberTruck than it is model S in style. Very cool.

The lack of stalks is a huge negative, as it will be for the Cybertruck. That can potentially be a deal breaker. Also sad to see the amount wood disappear. The new look makes it feel more clinical.

Disappointing to see the prices have not dropped, despite being apparently cheaper to manufacture. But there is an order backlog so not entirely surprising.
