Tesla Model 3 Highland vs Pre-Highland — What's Actually Different (And Why Your Old Accessories Won't Fit)
Tes Accessories|
When Tesla launched the Model 3 Highland in Australia in April 2024, it wasn't a minor refresh. The Highland brought significant changes to the exterior, interior, and driving experience — and critically for accessories buyers, it changed the fitment dimensions for almost every interior product.
Interior — Completely Redesigned
- New centre console layout — different dimensions, revised tray geometry, updated armrest profile
- 15.4" landscape touchscreen — vs the portrait 15" screen in older Model 3s
- 8" rear passenger screen — standard on the Highland, didn't exist on base pre-Highland variants
- Revised footwell dimensions — the floor mat shape changed significantly
- Multi-zone ambient lighting — new to the Highland
What Accessories Are Affected?
| Accessory | Fits Highland? | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Highland floor mats | ❌ No | Different footwell + boot geometry |
| Pre-Highland console organiser | ❌ No | Console completely redesigned |
| Pre-Highland screen protector (15" portrait) | ❌ No | Screen is now 15.4" landscape |
| EV charging cables (Type 2) | ✅ Yes | Same charging inlet |
| Mud flaps (shared sets) | ✅ Yes | Same body mounting points |
How to Tell If Your Model 3 Is a Highland
- Build date: April 2024 or later = Highland
- Screen orientation: Landscape = Highland. Portrait = pre-Highland
- Front exterior: No visible grille line on lower bumper = Highland
- Rear screen: 8" screen in the rear = Highland
