The Model 3 RWD 16 inch screen just showed up on Tesla's website, confirming the long-awaited Tesla Model 3 refresh is finally rolling out.
I spotted the change during a live stream after the Model Y page update last week. The listing now clearly states "16-in first row touchscreen" on the Model 3 RWD. This matches what Model Y owners have enjoyed for months and brings the same upgrade many have been requesting.
Tesla Model 3 website update details
The Tesla Model 3 website update also hints at the Model 3 black headliner on the RWD trim. Screenshots show darker pillars that line up with the black headliner treatment. Only the RWD version displays the 16 inch screen so far, while the Premium and Performance trims still list the smaller display. It feels like Tesla is testing the waters or pushing value on the base model first.
If you're ordering soon, this could push you toward the Model 3 RWD to lock in both the larger screen and black headliner. Check the current listings yourself before configuring.
What this means for Tesla owners
Owners who waited for these features now have a clear path. The Model 3 RWD 16 inch screen brings the interior closer to the refreshed Model Y experience. For anyone who already has a Model 3 on order, reaching out to Tesla about the update might be worth a shot, though inventory cars will likely get the new specs first.
I covered the same black headliner topic when the Model Y got it—read more here: https://denniscw.com/blog/model-y-refresh-black-headliner. The Model 3 version follows the same pattern.
Bottom line
This quiet Tesla Model 3 website update signals real progress on the refresh. If the Model 3 16 inch screen and black headliner are must-haves, the RWD variant is the one to watch. Watch the full breakdown here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=u7cFvSnr1GE.
