Tesla Model 3 Highland Arrives: What It Means for Australia & Your Accessories!

G’day team! The refreshed Tesla Model 3, affectionately known as ‘Highland’, has officially landed on our side of the ditch in Australia. While we eagerly await its full rollout here in Australia, let’s take a closer look at what’s new and how these changes will impact the accessories you’ll be wanting for your new ride.

A ‘Refresh’ is an Understatement

According to Tesla, over 50% of the car is brand new, so this isn’t just a simple facelift. The changes are focused on improving comfort and efficiency, which is great news for long drives around our beautiful country.

Exterior Updates

• Sleeker Look: New front and tail lights, along with redesigned bumpers, give the Highland a sharper, more aerodynamic look.
• New Colours: Two stunning new paint options, Stealth Grey and Ultra Red, have been introduced.
• New Wheels: The updated 18-inch and 19-inch alloy wheels don’t just look good; they also improve efficiency, helping to boost the car’s range by up to 9%.

Tessories Tip: The new exterior design means new fitments for things like our popular mud flaps and screen protectors. We’ll have everything ready to go for your new Highland as soon as they hit our shores!

Interior Overhaul

The inside of the Highland is where some of the biggest changes have happened. Tesla has focused on creating a more premium and quiet cabin experience.

• Stalk-less Steering Wheel: The new steering wheel design is a big change, moving indicators and gear selectors to the wheel and centre screen. This is a game-changer!
• Larger Touchscreen: The main centre screen is now slightly larger and brighter.
• Upgraded Sound System: With 17 speakers and a new acoustic glass, the ambient noise is reduced by a claimed 30%, making for a much more serene driving experience.
• Ventilated Seats: Both front seats now feature ventilation, perfect for those hot Aussie summers!
• Rear Screen: Rear passengers get their own 8-inch screen for climate and entertainment controls.

Performance and Pricing

While the top speed has been slightly lowered, the ride comfort is said to be significantly improved thanks to a new suspension system. The good news for power enthusiasts is that a new Performance variant is on the way in 2024, with Tesla hinting at “something very special.”
