Recently, some netizens took pictures of the interior of the latest-designed “Project Highland” TESLA Model 3 through an aerial camera in Tesla’s vehicle testing field at the Fremont factory. Most of the interior is covered, but you can see the steering wheel area, which looks very similar to the new Model S and Model X’s gearless design (though not the YOKE shape).
The new TESLA Model 3 will cancel the configuration of gear lever, turn signal lever and so on
In the video, Tesla engineers can be seen entering the car and putting on their seat belts. Instead of using gear, he can be seen swiping down on the left side of the center display just before he’s regarding to turn around:
And this design is the same as the current new TESLA Model S / X. It cancels the original design of the gear lever and the direction light pole, but concentrates these functions on the capacitive buttons on the steering wheel, not only the horn, wipers, etc. Both are also integrated into the steering wheel:
The original shift function is changed to the leftmost area of the screen. When the vehicle is going to drive, the driver needs to swipe up and down to control the shift. This function can automatically switch to the driving mode or reverse according to the previous vehicle movement and the position of surrounding objects. pattern, but it may take time for the average person to get used to:

In addition, on Model S/X, there is a touch button at the bottom of the center console of the mobile phone charging tray as a backup shift button (but it does not work at present), but whether the new Model 3 has a similar design is currently unknown:
Due to the angle and distance of the drone shot, it was not possible to see the actual configuration of the Highland version of the new car’s dashboard in the film. It is rumored that Tesla has been working on this project for some time, and it is expected to start trial production at Giga Shanghai next month, followed by the official mass production version. Tesla China has denied the rumor (not surprising). According to the news, the mass production of the new Model 3 will start in the third quarter, but besides the change of the steering wheel, are there any other hardware updates such as Phoenix radar and HW4? I don’t know. If you plan to buy a Tesla in the near future, it is recommended to wait and see, and wait until the third season. But if you can’t adapt to this new design, it is recommended to buy it first when you have a car in Hong Kong.
