Tesla’s Lead Designer, Franz von Holzhausen, has unveiled a refreshed Model 3 Performance vehicle with improved speed features and striking aesthetic changes. Notable changes include revamped front and rear bumpers, a larger carbon fiber spoiler, and redesigned aerodynamic, sporty wheels. The updates augment the vehicle’s performance and amplify its sleek and sophisticated appeal.
The enhancements of the Model 3 Performance are both functional and aesthetic. A repositioned front bumper, aero slats, and an integrated lip spoiler contribute to better aerodynamics, giving the vehicle a stronger look and better stability. An upgraded suspension system alongside new alloy wheels improves handling, affirming the car’s notable on-road performance.
In contrast to past updates primarily involving wheel changes, the update features a new trunk lid spoiler that generates extra downforce, reducing drag while enhancing the car’s visual appeal.

Additionally, the rear boasts a new diffuser that benefits aerodynamics and adds to the performance aesthetic. Acceleration rates have also been tweaked to optimize the driving experience, and a heat pump system has been installed to improve performance during cold weather.
Lars Morvay, Tesla’s Top Vehicle Engineering executive, stated that 20-inch forged Performance wheels offer more stiffness than 19-inch, improving steering feel and efficiency. The alteration in size and material also results in lighter wheels, boosting acceleration and overall performance. This impressive wheel upgrade also guarantees better brake cooling and safer driving conditions.
The interior changes feature sports seats for a tighter fit, updates to the braking system and adaptive dampers, improved ground clearance, and construction with aluminum and steel for strength and weight reduction. The addition of heated mirrors, improved noise isolation, and an upgraded infotainment system further enhances the driving experience.
The reimagined Model 3 Performance shows promise in challenging terrains with its advanced technology and design changes specifically for off-road driving. Anticipation is high among Tesla fans eager to experience the real-world implications of these upgrades.
