Now, Tesla hacker Green, who goes through Tesla’s code in new software updates to find new features, has revealed some more details about the unannounced new trim of the Model 3.
Green found a version referred to as “Sport” in the software:
digging in some more, random findings.
The refreshed model3 will come in 2 flavors: Base and Sport. The Sport version will have different front seats with bolstered side support and hdrst. The refreshed 3 will have different rear bench seat, e.g. middle seat will have a headrest pic.twitter.com/StRZGqdeNw
This would be the first time that Tesla has updated the interior of a performance version of a vehicle in its lineup.
The automaker generally focuses on suspension and brake upgrades as well as powertrain performance – even though the powertrain itself is generally the same, but other versions are software locked.
Electrek’s Take
It’s unclear if this is going to be a new standard interior for the Performance, Ludicrous, or Plaid, whatever the new performance version is going to be called, or if it’s going to be a new interior package.
I’m leaning toward the latter just based on Tesla’s history on that front, but it could go either way.
Now, the most interesting thing is going to be the actual performance of the top version of the new Model 3.
I love my Model 3 Performance. It doesn’t have crazy acceleration of a Model S Plaid, but it is lighter and I’d argued more fun to drive. I can’t wait to see what Tesla can do with the updated version.
