So… Highland is out…

Carwow Overview

Overall a decent refresh but also a bit ‘meh’
Decent rear lights
Rear screen is cool/annoying
Ambient lighting if that’s your thing
Better sound insulation
Ventilated front seats
17 speakers
Standard Range 356mi/554km
Long Range 423mi/678km

Overall, range seems to be the selling point. Nothing that makes me want to run out any buy it though.

Big fan of the revised interior, looks very well!

Exterior wise, not keen on the front but the rear is an improvement

Overall, very disappointed there's no release date for us. Australia has it up for Jan to march '24 so it's Q2 at best here

Video is our too Carwow. Must admit it seams a bit odd not to launch the revised car until sometime next year - have Tesla never heard of the Osbourne effect?

Two new colours, UWB Comms, definitely looks like a bumper camera on the video on the website. No stalks on the wheel.

Looks like a solid mid-life refresh even though I would have liked a more S/X style double screen setup.

European LHD websites such as Germany are updated.

Looks very Chinese

The press preview vehicle doesn't have the bumper camera but all the Tesla promo material seems to with both Green and Teslascope seemingly confirming it does.

I don't know. The interior looks very Chinese

Looks decent. If I were buying now I wouldn’t be put off. Seems like an overall good mid refresh.

We’re going to see (and I’ve already seen) a lot of people going overboard at criticising this over the next few days, because they own the older model. From my perspective having skimmed the CarWOW video there’s improvements everywhere and only a couple of marmite things (the loss of stalks which always seemed inevitable).

CarWOW video has a couple of inaccuracies - mentions “you can now turn off the passenger air vent” which I’m pretty sure you could do on the 2022-on if not earlier cars. Same with saying the “display is smoother”. I’m inclined to believe he’s only got the original car in mind for comparison - e.g. has not compared Atom to Ryzen.

Ominously not available in the UK until at least next year, with no specified release date…

Looks good. Refined. Should transfer well to the Y, but I imagine that will be a while. UK availability is an annoyance.

Seems very strange to me given it’s available in China. Wouldn’t this car be coming from there too? Are the fancy paint colours now available there?

 

[UrbanSplash]

Doesn’t Germany only do the new colours currently?

Pretty extensive list of improvements actually.

I really don’t like that Sawyer Merritt guy, or any insanely sycophantic Musk fanboys really.

“More premium sounding door thunk” is scraping the barrel a bit.

That said, it is overall a decent list of changes.

I wouldn’t mind them ventilated seats..

 

[Sparkeur]

Two new models now available in France quoting Oct/Nov delivery. Basic €42900, Long Range €50900. Same colours as current Model.

 

[Mrklaw]

missed opportuity to have a rear hatch

 

[SR-Plus]

Would all models have the additional speakers? Currently the RWD doesn’t have the full suite of speakers and sub.

 

[Mrklaw]

does the RWD now have more range than the original Long Range?

 

[pdk42]

No stalks for indicators - I'm out.

 

[Chimpy McChimp]

I like the idea of the rear screen for passengers. The rest maybe a bit meh
