Rumors of an impending launch for the eagerly anticipated Tesla Model 3 "Highland" have gained traction as sightings of the vehicle outside the United States become more frequent. With over a year of development behind it, the Model 3 Highland has been causing a stir among automotive enthusiasts.
Initial reports suggested that the vehicle would be manufactured at Tesla's Fremont Factory, but recent developments have clarified that the launch will take place in China. Customers in Asia and Europe can expect their vehicles to ship from the Gigafactory Shanghai production plant, according to reliable sources.
While the Model 3 Highland has been making appearances on roads in China, recent weeks have unveiled testing efforts in Europe as well. The vehicle was first spotted in Germany before making its way to France, where it was seen cruising on highways and making stops at Superchargers.
Adding to the excitement, the latest images from Teslarati capture the Model 3 Highland's presence in the Netherlands. This marks the first sighting of the vehicle in the country since its European tour commenced earlier this week.
The images depict the Model 3 Highland navigating highway A28 in the Netherlands, a stone's throw away from Tesla's Zwolle showroom in Wezep. Notably, these sightings have showcased the vehicle with distinct front and rear bumper covers. Leaked images had previously hinted at a redesigned front end, boasting a sleeker and sportier aesthetic. Rumors have also surfaced about an upgraded infotainment system, as well as fresh headlight and taillight designs.
The vehicle's current presence in Europe signifies its testing phase, as Tesla readies itself for the initial launch in China. Given the multitude of European sightings, it appears increasingly likely that Tesla will orchestrate the launch from its Shanghai plant, which handles the production of European Model 3 units.
As for the United States release of the Model 3 Highland, specific launch dates remain undisclosed. Nevertheless, Tesla has been diligently reconfiguring its Fremont Factory to accommodate the production of this remarkable vehicle. Clues about this endeavor have been found in filings dating back to the previous summer, offering a tantalizing glimpse into Tesla's plans for the future.
