Turn signal integrated into Model Y Juniper Light bar

Juniper is going to be sick. The new light bars must be coming to Model 3 also.

The Model 3 just had a re-style. It'll be awhile.

Doubt it, Tesla is constantly making changes. Model 3 already looks dated compared to competition; they aren't going to sit on their EV lead anymore.

They don’t do significant refreshes in a one-year cycle, they do smaller ones iteratively before a larger refresh. Like the chrome to black trim on 2021 model years or the several different interior re-designs from 2017 to 2024.

Imagine the cost replacing the whole unit.

No light bars on the model 3 and thank goodness, every car has those now. They’re played out. So happy the m3 got the refresh without those dumb nerd light bars that’s on every single car now. The new styling on the m3p is so much better. Glad it will stay that way for the next 7-8 years.

Hope the fog lights are kept, removing them from the M3 refresh really took out personality from the front fascia design.

Guarantee Model 3 gets light bar.

I agree. There is an insane amount of cars with front light bars now; I think it is going to be one of those ‘features’ that will date a vehicle very easily a few years from now.

What? Highland M3P has been released. Did they stop shipping it or something?

Looks like the main headlights are lower down, halfway to where the fog lights used to be. IMO I think that means they won't have a separate set of fog lights.

The long continuous ridge across the M3 front certainly looks like it had a light bar in mind.

Lol no

It's likely to end up looking vaguely like the Xpeng G6. Leapmotor B10 would be another model to look towards.

Cybertruck and Model Y have it. Model 3 will get it.

Nope it will not. Thank goodness

Where do you see a visual indication of a light bar? Couldn’t this be the same as the new Model 3 where the turn signal is part of the headlight?

*Last year. Don’t forget it’s already 2025.

Yeah that was a real eye opener the first time I saw it.

I don’t even think the pre-refresh looks dated. Tesla’s designs, in my opinion, have mostly been pretty much timeless ever since they removed the fake grills from the original Model S, which is why they are refreshed so rarely.

Says the guy that thinks there won't be any changes for 7-8 years.

2 years ago, it came out in 2023

> Model 3 already looks dated compared to competition; I do think Highland looks better, but the original doesn't look dated. I see no reason of change simply for changes sake. It's simply a waste if the car functions well.

Personally I’m glad they were removed for the refresh. The front looks much cleaner now imo.

All i want is a restyle for the X and S... but somehow I feel like that'll be post-roadster at this point.

Interesting, my 2022 M3 doesn't have fog lights.

Instead, the 2023 Model 3 refresh got the claw taillight design that was popular from 2018 to 2022ish. I don't dislike the refreshed 3's taillights, but let's not pretend that Tesla's design team was _ahead_ of the curve on this one.

Damn time flies, doesn’t feel like it’s been that long.

It feels like a little more identity between the two vehicles would benefit them both. A lightbar one one would definitely do that.

But now it's just gonna look like an Equinox

You must have the RWD spec. They didn't come with fog lights. My SR+ also doesn't have them, there are just black placeholders instead (in Europe).

That's what I was thinking. I see nothing indicating a light bar.

The only indication is the headlights being in a separate housing from the DRLs. But yes, we don't know for sure if it'll actually have a front lightbar. We only know that it'll have a rear lightbar.

Absolutely not. Tesla rarely makes large design changes to the exteriors of their cars. The previous Model 3 design stayed basically the same for 6 years. The new Model 3 design will likely last at least a few years before a major change. I also very much disagree that it looks dated.

Tesla doesn’t make significant changes like that in 1 or 2 years. It’s just not the way the company operates. They have a ton of other priorities outside of redesigning a car they JUST redesigned and did all this promo for. The focus will now be on the juniper, Robotaxi, then S, X, then will come back around to 3. Prob around 2029-30. But there will be small incremental changes along the way of course. And I agree with everyone else that it doesn’t look dated at all.

Another one of these 'features' is dynamic indicators.. they looked so cool and futuristic when they came out, but now with nearly every car manufacturer having some sort of version I think they look dated and pretty meh

Honestly the model s is the best looking car at this point imo. As far as 4 door daily drivers go, anyways. I think they should keep it the same.

I just wish the turn signals were incorporated into the steering wheel (aka: stalks).

Any idea about the S?

Ya know what, fair. I have an X and I'd really just like to see it updated. If anything, so people stop assuming I'm rich because I bought an X and not thinking it's possible I paid too much for a used one instead. lol.

My understanding of fog lights is that they’re mounted really low because the fog tends to thin out next to the road, thus they can shine much further down the road.  Matrix headlights can’t do this.

That's unfortunate. This means the marker light on that side will turn off for the turn signal to activate. I always think it looks dumb on cars when they do that, and I was really happy my Model 3 has enough separation between the signature light/marker light and the turn signal that they can remain illuminated while the turn signal flashes.

im hope they do a BIG refresh on the X and S and i hope to see some of the tech in the cybertruck trickle down like rear wheel control, 48v, 800v etc

i recently started the application to purchase a model Y, safe to say to wait for this new model ? Also, since i already paid the 250 app fee, how long do i have to complete my order ?

I’d wait for the new Y at this point for sure. Unsure about your second question.

Fog lights are mounted low to reduce reflection / glare caused by the mist. They also have a broader beam pattern; you'll see the road edges illuminated when the fog lights are on. They are surprisingly effective on my 21 MY. Fun fact: the North American version has rear fog lights but they're disabled. You'll see them light up during a music light show. I guess the American market wouldn't know what to do with rear fog lights.

Aaand we have proof. Light bars front and rear confirmed.

Holding out hope that it’s a render, that photo circulating today looked kinda meh to me. But maybe it’ll look cooler in person. Surprised by the change in design language though given the 3 just came out a little over a year ago. Maybe it’ll go cyber later this year too. Edit: Oh wow didn’t realize it just launched in Asia lol definitely real!
