The electric car game is changing, and Tesla’s at the forefront. Their latest marvel, the Tesla Model 3 Highland, just made a striking debut in the heart of France. At a recent Tesla Owners Club event at the Chateau de Savigny-les-Beaune, an eager crowd got their first live glimpse of the revamped Model 3, as captured in a video shared by Esther Kokkelmans.
And the crowd’s reaction? Nothing short of electric. As the car cover lifted, the crowd burst into applause, setting the tone for what’s bound to be another success story for Tesla.

A Glimpse into the Model 3 Highland
While the initial deliveries in France are just around the corner – with an estimated timeline between October and November – the Tesla Model 3 Highland has been the talk of the town. The anticipation rose as units of this sleek machine were spotted outside Tesla’s Gigafactory in Shanghai, hinting at Tesla’s intention to kickstart deliveries across Europe and Asia.
What’s new with the Highland? Well, it’s not just about the power under the hood. This Model 3 redesign sports updated features that are turning heads. Aesthetically, the exterior gets new headlights and a slightly reworked front end.
Step inside, and you’re treated to a revamped interior, simpler yet with thoughtful additions like a new blind spot indicator and a one-of-a-kind manual gear selector. This model was reportedly even showcased at Tesla’s European showrooms, including one in Paris.
