POSSIBLE new pics of the refreshed model 3

[TwoK4drSi]

Saw this on the internet and so I had to share. Take it with a grain of salt BUT tesla cali has always been know to have test cars rolling around

It “looks” like a camera module for corer blind spots that’s not currently there on the model 3

Also there’s a hood looking bulge like the model S/X

Car wrap enthusiasts already looking to buy that camo wrap.

Mabey a higher hood to accomodate a hepa filter?

No interior shots? Looks like a conventional wheel in the front pic.
Stalks? Crappy touch buttons on the wheel?

Looked like there were stalks albeit it’s only a glance so can’t be 100%

Thanks!
Of course there's no guarantee this is the "finalized" changes to the car. Probably just one of many mules.

oh yeah, looks completely re-designed

No instrument cluster or HUD so it appears changes to the interior will be more or less removal of the stalks which from my eye don't appear to be present behind the wheel.

To understand what I'm seeing ... To keep new features secret, Tesla makes special coverings that obscure those features and that allows employees to drive the car in public?

I agree. I just took a pic of my car at the same angle and the stalks are VERY visible. The back of the screen looks different too - mine has no ventilation holes as shown in the pics.

And still no 360 cams in a $65k 2023 vehicle. How, Tesla?

Not Tesla specific. All manufacturers use camouflage on their facelift/remodeled testers.

Most of the changes will not be visible, such as having front and rear casting,
and may be an AWD LR+ version with 4680 cells and 400 to 450 miles of range?

What everyone was hopping was having finally a Model 3 hatchback version,
which would certainly outsell the Model Y, especially in Europe.

Here's another picture of the tester. The turn signal stalk is visible here. Something I didn't consider in my previous post is their steering wheel could be positioned lower than mine. So, stalks are still present (at least one of them).

Maybe a hybrid of the current S controls: only one stalk for turn signals/wiper/washer, but gear selection done by AI/screen swipe?

Also, worst bra ever.

I think they’d go all or nothing. Also really easy for them to not have the stalkless design in these test mules only for it to be unveiled later

Lots o curb rash on the passenger side front rim...

Toward the top right and left of the screen housing. Could be a reflection of something. I just don't see what would cause it...

Wouldn't be there if Elon didn't hate surround view cameras.

Ah I see. I don’t think they’re vents but maybe some text or shadow?
