The first European deliveries of the updated Tesla Model 3, also known as \u201cProject Highland\u201d during development, are currently underway on the Old Continent, according to several social media posts from Germany and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
One post on X (formerly Twitter) from two days ago shows a black Model 3 Highland that was reportedly delivered to a German customer at Tesla\u2019s delivery center in Bielefeld, while two other posts from the Netherlands reveal several electric sedans heading toward Tesla locations and ultimately to their new owners.<\/p>\n
The Dutch posts are from today, leading us to believe that the first customer to get his or her hands on the facelifted electric sedan is located in Germany, at least judging by what has been posted online. Who knows, maybe there\u2019s somebody else who is already driving the Chinese-made EV but nobody snapped a photo.<\/p>\n
In any case, it\u2019s worth mentioning that folks in North America still have to wait to get the updated car, although we don\u2019t know for how long. The Fremont Gigafactory, where the U.S.-spec Model 3 is made, was reportedly closed for upgrades earlier this year, hinting that the Austin-based manufacturer is preparing to launch the \u201cHighland\u201d EV here as well.<\/p>\n
However, while people in the rest of the world can already configure the facelifted sedan on Tesla\u2019s website and get a delivery estimate, Americans are stuck with the non-updated Model 3 with no word on when it will become available here.<\/p>\n
