Six years later, Tesla should also launch a facelift of the Model 3, and it is indeed on its way.
Foreign netizen Chris Zheng broke the news that Tesla is replacing the wooden decoration of Model 3 with non-woven fabrics with significantly lower production costs, and there may be other models. The move is in line with the company's efforts to reduce vehicle costs and make them more affordable and environmentally friendly.
Wood veneer has been a prominent feature of the Model 3 since its launch in 2017, but it's also an expensive feature. By removing it and replacing it with fabric, Tesla can reduce the cost of manufacturing cars.
Some industry insiders said that Tesla Motors' decision to replace wooden decoration with non-woven fabrics is a multifaceted decision. While this will help reduce costs and make their cars more affordable, it is also part of a broader trend towards sustainable design practices.
According to previous statements, some production lines at Tesla's Shanghai factory will be suspended until the end of February. During this time, the company will upgrade the factory to launch an improved version of the Model 3, which will be delivered by the end of the year.
