Tesla has brought its upgraded Model 3 to North American markets.
The latest iteration of the all-electric sedan received upgrades on both the outside and inside, Elon Musk-run Tesla said Tuesday night in an X post.
The exterior of the Model 3 now features an "upgraded exterior styling optimized for max aerodynamics," as well as a "stiffer body & updated suspension tuning," according to the electric vehicle maker.

The Model 3 only features either long-range, all-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive. For the former, the range is an estimated 341 miles. The latter is expected to get 272 miles, according to Tesla’s website.
In October, investors asked Tesla about the timeline for the upgraded Model 3 to launch in the U.S. It made its debut in some other markets in 2023, according to reports.
