Tesla recently submitted a filing with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, indicating it was changing the exterior of the Model 3, reports Tesmanian.
Within the filing, a photo shows where chrome delete would occur on the Model 3, starting with its side turn signal cameras, bottom of the side mirrors, door handles and the side trim.
Tesla will most likely see its Model 3 with factory chrome delete occur at its Gigafactory Shanghai. It also signals a possible eventuality of the chrome delete for Model 3 coming to North America.
