Aside from offering new upgrades, Project Highland is also expected to help Tesla cut production costs.

Although the giant automaker hasn't shared many details about this new EV, many individuals claimed to have spotted it.

Some of them said that the new Project Highland would have decreased interior components, as well as exterior changes.

These include refreshed front and rear designs and upgraded cameras from 1.2 Mpixels and 5 Mpixels. There could also be LED flicker mitigation.

Other Improvements of Project Highland

Aside from the mentioned exterior and camera enhancements, the EV maker could also integrate the Tesla FSD Hardware Version 4.0.

Recently, reports stated that this computer hardware will offer 12 camera inputs.

If this is true, then it would be more advanced than the current FSD version, which only has nine cameras. Not only that, but the new FSD 4.0 could also be four times faster than the FSD Hardware Version 3.0.

As of writing, fans are still waiting for the arrival of the Tesla Project Highland.

Electrek reported that some people already spotted this Model 3 refresh version in California. However, this prototype was in a heavy camouflage cover. If you want to see its actual photos, you can click this link.
