A set of photos that purportedly show a Tesla Model 3 Highland prototype driving down a portion of Germany\u2019s famous Autobahn has been published on X (formerly Twitter) by the user @mrxex2<\/em> a couple of days ago.<\/p>\n

Embedded below, the post includes four photos shot from behind the vehicle and the description, \u201dTesla Model 3 Highland Spotted on German Highway near A4 Lichtenau.\u201d<\/p>\n

Analyzing the images, it appears that the car is, in fact, a refreshed Model 3, seeing how the camouflage, rear reflectors, and tail lights look identical to those found on previous covered-up prototypes spotted in the United States, New Zealand, and China.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the red German license plate has the number \u201c06\u201d at the beginning of the numerical sequence, which means it has been issued for a workshop, dealer, or manufacturer.<\/p>\n

The \u201cGE\u201d letters represent the city that issued the plate, in this case, Gelsenkirchen, which is located between Essen and Dortmund. According to TeslaMag.de<\/em>, the American EV maker doesn\u2019t have a presence in Gelsenkirchen, but there is a Tesla Center about 45 minutes east, next to Dortmund airport.<\/p>\n

With this being said, we can\u2019t confirm the veracity of the information because the X user can\u2019t be contacted via direct messaging. Moreover, the description of the post says that the prototype was spotted on the A4 Autobahn near Lichtenau, but a quick Google Maps check reveals there is no such road near the city, but rather an A44. It may just be a spelling error, but again, we have no way of confirming this.<\/p>\n

In a reply on X, the original poster said that the spotted Tesla was heading toward Dusseldorf, which is in the direction of Dortmund.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of this month, we reported that Tesla postponed the estimated delivery dates for new Model 3 builds in Europe, with posts on social media speculating that the move might be related to the upcoming commercial launch of the facelifted model.<\/p>\n

Additionally, reports from China indicate that the Shanghai Gigafactory started trial production of the updated EV this month, with mass assembly and deliveries set to begin next month.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, the so-called Project Highland Tesla Model 3 is expected to feature a redesigned front end, a revised rear with vertical indicator LEDs instead of horizontal, and a tweaked interior that will reportedly include ambient lighting.<\/p>\n
