Tesla Inc. TSLA is reportedly working on a major redesign of its popular Model 3, known as Project Highland, which will bring changes to the best-selling electric vehicle since its 2017 launch.
The Not A Tesla App shared leaked information from a trusted insider that revealed the Model 3 Highland will have multiple updates both inside and out.
The headlights will be a different shape, and Tesla will continue to offer matrix headlights, though it is not known if they will be enabled at launch.

The new front bumper will house a camera in its lower vent area, similar to the one featured on the Tesla's Cybertruck. This camera could help address blind spots in the front of the vehicle.
The rear bumper will be changed, though no new cameras are expected at the back.
The mirrors will be updated with a refresh to their appearance.
Three new cameras will be added — one in the front bumper and two on the sides of the vehicle — to improve visibility at certain intersections.
The Model 3 Highland will also include Tesla's latest full self-driving computer and upgraded 5 megapixel cameras.
Interior updates include the replacement of wood trim with a fabric finish, possibly Alcantara, and a dash facelift.
In the third quarter, production for Model 3 is expected to begin.
