In a photo leaked on Reddit, a user showed the alleged hood of Tesla’s Model 3 successor. The photo, which was also posted on Twitter, shows a portion of the upcoming release that has been obscured by camouflage in other leaks. The vehicle in question has more elegant details compared to the basic Tesla.
It may have been inspired by the Roadster concept that the company released a few years ago. And even if they don’t have any confirmation, the photo has pleased Tesla fans and car enthusiasts alike.

Apparently, the model has already been used at high speed, see the amount of dirt – possibly dead insects – on the front of the car. The leak is consistent with other rumors, but there is still a chance that the model will undergo changes until its final model. The new Model 3 is expected to be unveiled and go into production later this year.
Major changes to the car are expected to include new headlights, front and rear bumpers, redesigned wing mirrors and changes to the interior, as well as more cameras and sensors.
The internal changes are expected to reflect a cost reduction rather than an increase in comfort. Wood must be exchanged for fabric to keep the price of the car lower. The temperature sensor may also come out of this update.
While Musk has previously identified price as a major barrier to EV adoption and has pledged to launch a car with an MSRP of $25,000, some enthusiasts may be put off by the austere cuts required to get there.
