Latest photo of Tesla Model 3 refresh reveals the design of the new steering wheel

A leaked photo of the new Tesla Model 3 refresh has recently surfaced, providing a glimpse into the interior, particularly showcasing a redesigned steering wheel. This leak follows earlier rumors that Tesla has been diligently working on a Model 3 refresh, expected to be released in the latter half of 2023 and internally codenamed "Highland."

Late last year, prototype sightings of the Model 3 clad in heavy camouflage sparked curiosity about the impending refresh. Subsequently, an image without camouflage surfaced last month, offering a tantalizing peek at the forthcoming updates. Now, a fresh sighting of the Model 3 showcases its interior for the first time.

The leaked footage, likely captured by a drone hovering above Tesla's test track at the Fremont factory, reveals a lineup of Model 3 vehicles. One particular vehicle, still concealed by camouflage on the front and rear bumpers, is highly indicative of the refreshed Model 3.

While the majority of the interior remains obscured due to Tesla's meticulous coverings, the distinctive steering wheel catches the eye. Resembling the round steering wheel found in the new Model S and Model X, this iteration of the Model 3's steering wheel features force touch buttons in lieu of traditional stalks.
