You can select from five color paints, four of them are paid and only Pearl White is included in the purchase price. Both RWD and Long Range have 18-inch and 19-inch wheels options. However, the latter costs 1,929,000 KRW.
In terms of design, the UPgraded Tesla Model 3 brings several new upgrades over its predecessor. The headlights are slimmer and have an optimized front silhouette to support aerodynamics.
The EV maker has improved the interior for soundproofing and providing ambient light for a better driving experience. The seats have upgraded materials for more comfort. The speaker count increased to 17 with dual subwoofers and dual amplifiers along with an 8-inch rear passenger display.
