Model 3
Highland
The updated Model 3 selects drive direction on the screen. Early refreshed RWD and Long Range cars gained improved sound insulation and acoustic glazing all around.
Add to comparison
The updated Model 3 was launched in Europe in 2023. Tesla combines its documentation under the name “2024+”: it is the name of the manual family, not the year of the start of European deliveries. The dimensions below are RWD/Long Range; Performance is different. Check the late basic versions separately. Data checked 2 October 2026.
Key changes
- An updated Model 3 with a choice of direction on the screen. For early updated RWD/LR confirmed more thorough sound insulation and acoustic glazing in a circle.
- The D/R is selected on the front screen, the backup PRND on the ceiling. Rolls: buttons on the steering wheel or lever, depending on the execution.
- Separate trunk cover: large luggage should be tried on during inspection.
Identify it by photo
The D/R is selected on the front screen, the backup PRND on the ceiling. Rolls: buttons on the steering wheel or lever, depending on the execution.
Tesla confirms circular acoustic glazing for the updated RWD/LR AWD/Performance in publication April 23, 2024; do not automatically transfer to the late Standard.
Adaptive shock absorbers have appeared in the new Performance; these are not common RWD/LR equipment.
The rear screen depends on the configuration. Having one in a photo or manual does not mean that every car of that period has one.

Changes and equipment checks
Model 3: key transitions
The selection includes three versions: the early European Model 3, the 2021 update and the Highland. At the boundaries of periods, first recognize the body and interior, then check the equipment.
- 2019–2020
First performance in the selection
Two steering levers and a horizontal screen; there is no separate dashboard and a standard rear screen. Early interior and exterior decoration can be considered in the card 2019-2020. Check the presence of a heat pump for additional information about the car.
- 2021–2023
Renovation of the cabin, old levers
A dated snapshot of the 2021 update shows a matte center console. Two steering levers retained. Different batteries and equipment can be hidden behind externally similar cars: the year of registration does not replace the check of equipment.
- April 2022
Transition of European cars to Tesla Vision
Tesla puts the transition of Model 3 and Model Y, built for Europe, to a system without radar by April 2022. This refers to production for the market, not to first registration. Check the presence of ultrasonic parking sensors separately.
- 2023+
Highland: New salon and management
The manual family is called 2024+, although the updated Model 3 appeared in Europe in 2023. The direction of movement is selected on the screen; the rear screen depends on the execution. The current manual describes both the turnkey buttons and the option with a lever.

- Compare the year of production, the supply market and equipment with the documents. The date of first registration alone does not determine the equipment.
- Compare range and acceleration with the same standard of measurement: the exact version of the drive, battery and wheels matters.
- Look at how the turn signals and the choice of D/R are arranged in this particular car: inside the updated family, the equipment changed.
- If acoustic glass, rear screen or adaptive suspension are important, check each item in the configuration. Performance suspension does not apply to all RWDs and Long Range.
