It is reported that the modified Tesla Model 3 will be equipped with ventilated seats and ambient lights

IT Home reported on June 13th that Tesla is undergoing a major facelift of the Model 3, codenamed "Project Highland". The car is still in the rumored stage, but previous test vehicles have been exposed multiple times, indicating that the facelift of the Model 3 may add some new features, while the latest rumors suggest that the new car may inherit some features from its big brothers, ModelS and ModelX.

The biggest highlight may be the ventilated seats. Tesla introduced modifications to the ModelS and ModelX in 2021, introducing ventilated seats for the first time, and now it seems that this feature will also appear on the Model3. IT Home noticed that Twitter user KelvinYang (@ KelvinYang7) first exposed this news, as he had accurately disclosed some information about Tesla China. Afterwards, Tesla Chinese enthusiast Jayin Shanghai also shared a video showing what is believed to be a Model 3 ventilated seat. From the video, it can be seen that the overall design of the seat has not changed much, but the small holes on the bottom of the seat and backrest can be clearly seen, allowing airflow to pass through, and there is also a motor at the bottom of the seat.

Yang also stated that the new Model 3 will be equipped with ambient lighting and an upgraded audio system. Atmosphere lighting is a feature that many car owners expect, and some even install third-party kits on the market themselves. This is also a standard feature of many high-end models, but different people have different preferences for it. As for the upgrade of the audio system, there is currently no specific information, but it is possible that a second subwoofer has been added.

According to the recently publicly exposed "Highland Project" Model 3, some exterior changes of the new car include the new front and rear headlights and bumpers. In terms of interior design, there are also signs of the new steering wheel and the cancellation of the gear lever.

It is reported that Gigafactory Shanghai has started trial production of the modified Model3, and DriveTesla has learned that the Model3 production line of Fremont will be closed this week for modification to adapt to the new design. It is reported that the production line will be shut down for about a week for modification.
