Tesla Model 3 Refresh Leaked: Black Headliner, 16-Inch Screen & Why Cybertruck is the Best Deal Now
Hey everyone, Dennis here from DennisCW! Welcome back to the blog. If you've been following my streams and videos, you know I love diving into Tesla deal hacking and the latest updates. Today, we're breaking down some exciting leaks on the upcoming Model 3 refresh, killer Cybertruck deals (including sub-$52K in some states), and why the $59,990 Cybertruck might be Tesla's best value right now. Plus, updates on the Model Y Long Base. Let's jump in!
Model 3 Refresh: Black Headliner and 16-Inch QHD Display Incoming
Tesla never sleeps, and fresh code leaks from the backend (shoutout to Burkant for spotting this) point to a mid-cycle Model 3 refresh. Here's what's rumored:
- Black Headliner: Linked to "interior 3 premium black" – think Alcantara-style black like the updated Model Y. It's mapped to 2026 Model 3 Performance and Premium VINs.
- 16-Inch QHD Display: Already plug-and-play (folks have swapped it from Model Ys). EPC codes confirm it for Model 3.
Black headliner mockup – simple but sleek.
These changes have been spotted in EU and China configs, with green dots on 2026 builds. US is next? No surprise – Model Y got them already. Retrofit potential? High for current Highland Model 3 owners.
Is Now the Time to Buy a Model 3?
Yes! Model 3 deals crush Model Y right now:
- 0.99% APR on all trims.
- Leases from $399/month.

Cybertruck: Best Battery Value in Tesla Lineup
Forget monthly payments – look at $/kWh:
| Model | Price | Battery (kWh) | $/kWh |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model 3 RWD | $42,490 | ~60 | ~$708 |
| Model Y Perf. | $57,490 | 75 | ~$766 |
| Cybertruck AWD | $59,990 | 123 | ~$487 |
Cybertruck wins big on battery capacity per dollar. At 123 kWh, it's a beast. Base model lacks rear screen/smuggler's box but has utility galore.
Upgrading seats? $3,520 each – stick to base or go Premium.
Model Y Long Base (6-Seater) Approved Down Under & Europe
- Australia: Official approval docs leaked – extended wheelbase confirmed.
- Europe: Cleared regs late Dec 2025; Q1 2026 launch likely.
US timeline? Q3-Q4 2026 per Elon. Current 7-seater exists, but this is bigger/safer. Still, at $57K+ for Model Y Perf., Cybertruck edges it for families.
