Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're a Tesla enthusiast like me, you're going to love this update. We've got some exciting news straight from the world of Tesla innovations. In this post, I'll break down the latest confirmation on a front bumper camera for the Model 3, plus some essential accessories that every Tesla owner should consider. Let's dive in!
Tesla is stepping up its game with the brand-new Model 3 Plus, and we've got official confirmation of a front bumper camera. This gem was spotted through documentation from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (think of it as their equivalent to the EPA or transportation authority).
From the images circulating, it's clear as day: there's a dedicated camera right at the bottom of the front bumper. This isn't just a minor tweak—it's a significant upgrade for the Model 3, which has been the only Tesla model without this feature until now.
What else do we know about the Model 3 Plus? It's packing a bit more range thanks to a larger battery, making it an even more compelling option for EV buyers. If you've been following Tesla sales, you might have noticed the Model 3 holding strong in the US market, even outperforming the Model Y in some metrics. This update could be exactly what it needs to keep that momentum going—extra range and enhanced camera tech for better autonomy and safety.
But here's where it gets really interesting: Will this front bumper camera be available as a retrofit for existing Model 3 Highland owners? And if so, what's the cost going to look like? We've seen with the new Model S that retrofits aren't always on the table, so this could go either way. I'm curious—what are your thoughts? Are you a Model 3 owner hoping for this upgrade, or are you eyeing a new purchase? Drop your comments below and let's discuss!
