Considering we have read the Tesla workers have to leave their smart phones at the factory's front door in China, don't expect to know any of those things until launch. These pics are most likely coming from suppliers.

Project Highland (Investor impact etc.)
- Thread starter Buckminster
- Start date
I believe Tesla will have the new MY (Project Juniper) released in late 2024 or early 2025 to stay competitive with other EV companies.
Also the public will be more interested in the new M3 than with the current MY. Other EV companies will introduce new cars to compete with the current MY. So Tesla probably will released a refreshed MY soon after releasing the Highland.
I also have a timeline of late 2024 for Juniper MY.
IMO Highland M3 will have 3 kinds of changes.
- Design changes specific M3 - mainly cosmetic
- Technology changes already in MY
- Technology changes not yet in MY
IMO it is very likely that all Tesla cars will move to a 48V wiring harness . I'll be surprised if that is not part of 3.
The advantages are reduced copper and weight, standardizing on 48V parts across the range where possible,
Highland almost certainly has a front bumper camera, that is another thing that will probably become standard.
Tesla has a mission, they want to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport. Mainly highland will be about this. Making the car easier to produce so they can produce more of them from the same foot print. Make it cheaper so more can afford it. Use less material so they can make more cars. Make it more optimus friendly. And every minor software and hardware tweak they have figured out along the way and prepare it for robotaxi adoption(drive by wire, HW4, more durable seats and user facing elements, more durable tires/suspension/motors/batteries etc).
You skipped the highlands use of M3Ps
Big improvement in range coming
RWD 300 miles
LR could be 400 miles
P guess 350
Highland will reinforce Teslas leadership in transportation again
Big and exciting UG
Juniper will also be amazing

My preference would be for Tesla to make the Highland batteries smaller and keep the range as is. Juniper battery could be larger to mirror Highland range. That would differentiate the two in price further and ensure starting price is as low as possible for Highland - the introduction vehicle.
Think we are entering a range tweak in the industry as Cadillac just announced this week
The new minimums, led by Tesla, will be 300, 400, and 500 miles
Also with the expanding L3 charging infrastructure, we probably won’t see big advances in range next as the extreme need won’t be there
Of course for the elite $130-150K+ vehicles they will push out to 600+ miles

500 for towing makes sense but otherwise is overkill now that chargers are in most places. It doesn't accelerate the transition.
It's mainly about price and infrastructure at this point.
Model 3 is a sedan.
Model Y is a crossover.
Therefore the public will be more interested in the new Model Y.
Tesla Model 3 Highland Expected To Go On Sale In China This Month: Report
Citing a person familiar with the matter, the source writes that while Tesla is currently offering several deals for the current-generation Model 3 in China, many prospective customers are choosing to wait for the facelifted EV.

Tesla is learning rumors alone can Osbourne a product. Will be interesting how Tesla handles the S/X replacements, then again, their volume is low so it does not matter.
