Refreshed Tesla Model 3 May Have Just Leaked on Reddit

A photo of what appears to be the long-awaited Tesla Model 3 facelift was published to the Tesla subreddit Wednesday evening, setting the internet ablaze.

The image shows a front three-quarter of an all-black car with no logos visible. The body, hood, and wheel shapes appear to be Model 3, but the nose, including the headlights, look to be new. The light cluster reminds us a bit of the new Tesla Roadster's headlights, doing a lot to convince us this is the real deal.

There's no way to confirm whether this is actually the new Model 3, but the timing makes sense. Rumors tracing back to 2022 suggested Tesla was planning to revamp its most popular sedan with a refresh that would launch in the second half of 2023. Back in December, spy shots surfaced of a Tesla Model 3 with front-end camouflage testing in California.

We'd reach out to Tesla for comment, but the company dissolved its PR department in late 2020, so there's no one to reach out to. Guess we'll just have to wait for an official reveal or comment from CEO Elon Musk.
