Project Highland Ideas

1. Update the Interior Headliner and Pillars to Black Fabric so that it matches and blends better with the colors on the door, dash, steering wheel, center console, floor, and the rest of the interior. The current Grey color doesn't match well and becomes dirty very easily. The grey interior is also more distracting to the eyes while driving.
2. Upgrade the Rubber Brake Lines to Stainless Steel Brake-lines. The stainless steel brake lines provide higher performance and the rubber brake lines can freeze and malfunction in very cold weather conditions, below 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Update the basic circular steering wheel to the Inverted Trapezoid Steering wheel, as shown in the attached pictures. The Inverted Trapezoid Steering Wheel looks like a Fighter Jet and makes handling the car easier.
4. Upgrade the Front and Rear Sway Bars to a more durable metal. The current stock 'Made in Mexico' sway bars on the Model 3 brake easily and have inferior handling to, for example, the Eibach Performance Sway Bars.
5. Update the Rear Tail Reflectors so that they also function as brake and turning Lights, as shown in the attached picture. Not only does it look better, but it also makes the Tesla more noticeable to other drivers and safer on the road through preventing less accidents.
6. The fabric Trunk Liner also looks ugly, in my opinion, and there's not enough lighting in the trunk. Tesla engineers should get creative and revise the interior of the trunk so as to drop or revise the current trunk liner.

Appreciate any feedback or additional suggestions on how to improve the Tesla Model 3!

I hope Tesla learned it’s lesson with the model s/x yoke and now knows there’s no need to reinvent the wheel.

It’s a car, not a fighter jet.

Same marketing gimmick again. Put controversial steering wheel so people won't talk about aging body style.

Agree with 1,2,4,5.

I think the body style has aged well.

I personally want planned obsolescence to die in a fire. I say keep car bodies around for at least 10 years, if not 20. If you actually do a good job designing it (and not just following the fad-of-the-moment) this should not be an issue, and has been done many times very successfully in automotive history. If a car was a good design in 2017, it is a good design in 2027.

do you have any research to show that #5 would be safer? Is the Model 3 prone to being rear-ended?
