Tesla is preparing a new variant of the Model 3 for launch, an official announcement is expected at the end of August – insiders
According to unconfirmed sources, Tesla is almost ready to start production of its updated Model 3 in China. Rumors about the Highland program, which means a new generation of the company’s most affordable model, have been circulating for more than a year.
Tesla delays delivery of new Model 3 orders in Europe until the fourth quarter. The transition to the new generation Model 3 may be one of the reasons for this delay.
Model 3s sold in Europe are manufactured at the Gigafactory in Shanghai. Tesla’s recent announcements about the global modernization of this plant may be related to the release of the updated Model 3.
According to online rumors, communication from suspected Tesla staff indicates that the current domestically produced Tesla Model 3 will be discontinued on August 14th. It is reported that the new Tesla Model 3 will be officially put into production in the third quarter.#Tesla pic.twitter.com/doTVs1c2aQ
