Recently, a netizen captured a white Tesla Model 3 on a highway in Xinjiang, China. The front and rear of the vehicle were covered with black fabric, suspected to be a test vehicle of the Highland version. Although it is difficult to identify any specific design details from the pictures, the practice of covering the vehicle with camouflage is consistent with several other pre-production vehicles we have recently seen. It was previously reported that this model will start production in September this year and is expected to begin deliveries in October.

The new Tesla Model 3 is an upgraded model introduced by Tesla to cope with the intense competition in the Chinese market. The exterior and interior of the vehicle have been improved. According to reports, the new Model 3 is slightly longer than the current model and has a more sporty appearance. From the previously leaked spy photos, it can be seen that the front bumper and headlights of this model have been adjusted. In addition, this model will also adopt Tesla’s latest Hardware 4.0 autonomous driving computer and a more streamlined interior design.

There is currently no clear information about the power system and battery of the new Tesla Model 3, but there are rumors that the model will use a 66 kWh M3P battery provided by CATL, which may primarily use lithium iron phosphate manganese materials. If this news is true, the new Model 3 is expected to reduce costs while improving safety and increasing range.
