Tesla launches new Model 3 Performance variant to rev up demand


Tesla has officially revealed a new Performance variant of the recently-refreshed Model 3 as the company looks to fight off receding demand.

The front and rear ends of the car have also benefited from a slight facelift, separating it from the other versions of the newly-tweaked Model 3 revealed last year. That means there’s an ambient light bar wrapping around the cabin interior, better sound dampening and upgraded materials throughout, a stalk-less steering wheel and a new touchscreen display. Tesla is also just one week removed from announcing sweeping layoffs of more than 10% to its global workforce, with the cuts affecting seemingly all corners of the company.
