Tesla has quietly upgraded the Model 3 in North America, adding more power, extra range and a larger touchscreen without increasing prices.
The biggest interior change is a new 16-inch central display, replacing the existing 15.4-inch unit. Tesla has not confirmed exactly when the updated hardware will reach cars, but the screen is now listed as standard across the lineup.
The Model 3 Performance gets the biggest performance boost. Peak output rises from 510 to 528 hp, while range increases from 309 to 316 miles. Tesla has also added a new black headliner to the Performance model.
The Premium AWD version is quicker, too. Its claimed 0–60 mph time drops from 4.2 to 3.8 seconds, while its estimated 346-mile range remains unchanged.
Despite the upgrades, pricing stays exactly where it was. The Model 3 starts at $38,630, while the Premium AWD costs $49,130 and the Performance is priced at $56,630.
Every Model 3 in the US, Puerto Rico & Mexico now comes with a larger 16″ center touchscreen
