    The Shanghai-built Tesla Model 3 has been updated with features including a heated steering wheel. Tesla’s configurator for orders in China now lists the heated wheel feature as part of a premium interior option for the Model 3 Performance. It’s a feature that many Tesla owners have been asking for and it’s expected the automaker...

    I still love the original version with chrome trim, shiny center console, and orange top glass.
    Perhaps a collector someday.

    Jay Leno will need a new eGarage with Solar charging.
    Jay, you listening? It's about the "Today Show"...

    Hopefully the steering wheel can be bought and added to the model 3's here. I would buy one if it's not too pricey.

    I think the new door accent panel looks quite good on the black interior (anything to break up the blackness a little!), but I don't see much point on the black & white interior where the door panel below is already in contrasting white.

    But I'm surprised they even bothered with this change to be honest. A lot of people complained about the old centre console design, but not so much the door trims. It seems an odd thing to mess about with for no obvious reason while the other "refresh" changes seemed to be the result of customer feedback. I would have welcomed the heated steering wheel for sure!
