Tesla Model 3 ‘Highland’ Hits U.S. Roads: Testing Vehicle Spotted!

Tesla Model 3 fans in the U.S. have something new to look
forward to: the “Highland” was spotted testing without any coverings on Highway
280, showing off its front and rear bumper designs that are rarely seen in
public.

The carmaker launched its Model 3 Highland earlier this year
in Asia, Europe, and parts of the Middle East but it is still yet to be handed
over officially to customers stateside who have eagerly been waiting for it
since then.

Tesla Could Still be Waiting for EPA and NHTSA Approvals

Tesla has recently made a slew of changes to the Model 3
with the Highland iteration, and it appears that they could still be waiting
for EPA and NHTSA approval for the vehicle.

The car was spotted on-road testing in California between
San Francisco & San Jose on Highway 280. This is very similar to tests done
by Tesla prior to their imminent releases such as Cybertruck months ahead of
its official launch.

This can only mean one thing: we’ll soon have an even better
version of Tesla’s much-praised Model 3! Keep your eyes peeled as further
developments around this release emerge – it looks like Tesla won’t keep U.S.
consumers waiting long!

No Clear Indication of the Highland Launch in U.S.

Tesla is testing the Model 3 Highland vehicle on U.S. roads,
with a design that appears to be identical to its Eastern Hemisphere version.

It was previously speculated that the launch of the Tesla
Model 3 Highland could happen as early as 2023, but we’ve seen no indication
from Tesla about when (or if) this model may come stateside – for now all signs
point towards an imminent release in other international markets only.

The Tesla ‘Highland’ has made quite a buzz since its teased its
debut back at the end of 2022 and it looks like more clarity should start
emerging soon enough about what capabilities and features one can expect from
this spiffy new ride!

During Tesla’s Q3 Earnings Call in October, Head of Investor
Relations Martin Viecha refused to answer any product-related questions,
leaving it unclear what plans are in store for the vehicle’s launch in the U.S.

In the meantime, speculation is still running rampant on
when and where the Highland might be hitting American roads – even if Tesla
isn’t offering any additional information about it.

Until then, though, we’ll have to wait and hope that Tesla
finally spills the beans in time for those who’ve been eagerly awaiting the
car’s arrival.

The Bottom Line

As the first Tesla Model 3 “Highland” without
coverings was recently spotted testing in the US, we are thrilled to see what’s
in store for customers and fans of the American electric car maker.

The bumper designs at both front as well as the rear were
visible on this new version of Model 3. Tesla has already launched it in Asia,
Europe & Middle East but yet to hand it over to their customers based out
in US.

Let’s wait and watch how eager customers receive this
ultimate offering from Tesla!
