Tesla Model 3 Refresh Leaked: Black Headliner and Massive 16-Inch Screen Confirmed!
Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you've been keeping an eye on Tesla rumors, this one's huge. We've got potential leaks straight from the Tesla backend revealing details on the upcoming Model 3 refresh. This includes a sleek black headliner (possibly Alcantara-style) and a stunning 16-inch QHD display. Not entirely shocking if you're tuned in, but for new viewers: the Model 3 is gearing up for some mid-cycle upgrades in the coming months.
The Leaks: What We Know So Far
Shoutout to Burkant for spotting these gems in the Tesla configuration code:
- New interior code: "Interior 3 Premium Black" linked to an Alcantara-style black headliner.
- Mapped to 2026 Model 3 Performance and Premium VINs.
- EPC code now lists the 16-inch QHD screen.
- Multiple 2026 builds marked with a green dot in EU and China configurators.
Imagined black headliner – think current gray material, but in premium black!
This mirrors recent Model Y updates, where Tesla swapped in the 16-inch screen and black headliner. And get this: the screen is already plug-and-play. Enthusiasts have pulled it from newer Model Ys and installed it in refreshed Model 3s with zero issues. It's just a matter of time before it's official.

Black Headliner and Screen: Real-World Impact
The black headliner? It's essentially the standard gray one dyed black – no fancy material upgrade from pics we've seen, but it looks sharp. The 16-inch screen? That's the game-changer. Extra real estate for navigation, entertainment, and more. Current owners: these should be retrofit-friendly.
