Tesla occasionally adds incremental upgrades its vehicles, coming at random times, and now we’re again seeing a feature that first debuted in China make its way to the United States.
Photos of a Tesla Model 3 with white interior trim and a new door panel design were shared to Reddit on Monday, before being removed from the subreddit by moderators. The post, originally shared by u/sonaiive to the Tesla Motors subreddit who reported being located in Chicago, included an imgur album including multiple photos of the Model 3’s white trim.
The post came following a first look of the Tesla Model 3 with white trim in February in China, as the latter was the first to gain the new update, speculated to eventually reach the United States.
Similarly, over the weekend, a Model 3 Performance was spotted in Indiana, which also included a new, wood door trim – further validating the design change was rolling out in the United States. The wood door trim flows parallel to the window sill in the U.S., while the door trim in China flows perpendicular.
Tesla also increased the price of the Model 3 in the U.S. last week, along with the Model Y. The company also allows Model 3 owners to upgrade from Standard Range to Standard Range Plus for $2,000 (USD), a new update as of this month.
Tesla’s first-quarter earnings call takes place Monday, with the company set to discuss its record-breaking Q1 sales and other, upcoming plans and forecasts with shareholders.
