"When I drove the refreshed Tesla Model 3 Highland here in Europe, I liked it a lot, but there was one thing that never stopped being infuriating: the turn signal wasn't a dedicated stalk, and this made everyday operation more tedious than it needed to be. But Tesla has given the Model 3 its turn signal stalk back in Europe, along with a series of other upgrades."
"I have already tried the new stalk on the Model Y Juniper, and even though it's much better than having buttons on the steering wheel, it still isn't perfect. It only handles turn signals and has no other functionyou can't pull or push on it, so it literally has just one job, like you used to see on cars in the 1970s."
"The Model 3 for Europe also gains a new front-facing camera, which finally eliminates the blind spot right in front of the car. The new camera comes with its own built-in washer nozzle, which is great news considering it will get dirty very quickly, so you won't have to keep wiping it down like you do with other cameras around the car."
"All Model 3 variants get upgraded cells in their battery packs, which bring a range boost. The WLTP range for the base Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive, which has an LFP battery with a capacity exceeding 60 kWh, goes up from 319 miles (513 km) to 344 miles (554 km) with the base 18-inch wheels. If you get the larger 19-inch wheels, the range drops to 323 miles (520 km)."
Tesla reintroduced a physical turn signal stalk for the Model 3 in Europe. The stalk only handles turn signals and lacks pull or push functions, resembling a single-purpose 1970s-style stalk and improving operation compared with steering-wheel buttons but missing potential extra controls. A new front-facing camera eliminates the blind spot directly ahead and includes a built-in washer nozzle to keep the lens clean. All Model 3 variants receive upgraded battery cells. The base Rear-Wheel Drive LFP pack rises from 319 miles (513 km) WLTP to 344 miles (554 km) with 18-inch wheels, 323 miles (520 km) with 19-inch wheels. Pricing remains unchanged.
