Tesla’s 2026 Model 3 refresh introduces a record 750 km WLTP range on 18-inch wheels for the Long Range RWD version, powered by an 82 kWh usable battery and a single rear motor. The update brings back the physical turn-signal stalk on select configurations and markets, addressing feedback about buttonless controls. Matrix LED headlights now dim specific beam sections in two stages to prevent blinding oncoming drivers. The cabin features improved sound deadening and more comfortable seats. Grok AI now handles more voice commands beyond navigation, adjusting climate and driving settings through natural language. Charging speeds and battery chemistry improved, and the Summer 2026 update (2026.26) added new startup animations and Grok refinements. Pricing remains competitive in the EV segment, and deliveries are ramping now. The refresh includes new battery chemistry, new exterior trim, and new interior materials, but shares a platform with prior generations.
