2021 Tesla Model 3 Getting A Few Upgrades, Here’s What To Expect From The Electric Sedan

Tesla is constantly revising its lineup, with an emphasis on technological features mostly, and the Model 3 appears to be in line for a few upgrades courtesy of the Palo Alto company.

Expected to launch soon, as it’s already (supposedly) rolling off the line in Fremont, the 2021 Model 3 will look the same as the outgoing iteration, it yet it does have some enhancements.

Claiming to have seen pictures of the updated electric sedan, but unable to reveal them as it would compromise their sources, Electrek reports that the vehicle won’t feature chrome trim on the outside anymore, and that the boot lid will become power-operated.

Meanwhile, driving comfort is understood to have been refined through the introduction of new double-paned windows. The upholstery is said to have been revised as well and the central console appears to have been redesigned, with a matte finish, repositioned cup holders with deleted chrome trim and different-looking wireless charging pad for compatible mobile devices.

On a different note, it seems that the rearview mirror-mounted camera, which Elon Musk claimed wasn’t operational and that it was there to be used by owners for autonomous Uber and Lyft services, can actually be used in a great deal of ways.

It’s been reported that it can track the eye and head movements of the driver, and can tell when they are using their mobile phones. Logic tells us that the technology will be used to come up with a driver monitoring system, and you all know what that means: no more sleeping behind the wheel with the Autopilot engaged.
