Tesla introduces amped-up front lighting for Model 3 and Model Y upgrades
Tesla has announced the launch of a new ambient LED lighting upgrade for the front trunk (frunk) of its Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. The upgrade aims to enhance visibility and practicality, particularly in low-light conditions, making it easier to load groceries or retrieve gear during night-time road trips.
The LED lighting strip, which is a simple, clean OEM solution, is designed to plug directly into the vehicle’s power supply and does not require batteries or splicing for installation. It is both dustproof and waterproof (IP67 rated), ensuring long-term durability in various weather conditions.
The LED lighting upgrade joins Tesla’s growing catalog of factory-approved upgrades and is available in Canada, China, and the U.S. for $100 USD. However, it is important to note that the lighting upgrade is only compatible with certain Model 3 and Model Y units.
For the Model 3, the upgrade is only compatible with units produced in 2024 and later. Older Model 3 vehicles produced before 2024 may require additional modifications for compatibility. In contrast, the Model Y lighting upgrade is compatible with vehicles produced between 2020 and 2024.
The LED lighting strip includes a built-in constant current control module for reliable, even lighting. The upgrade is easy to install and is offered by Tesla for the Model 3 and Model Y.
In summary:
| Vehicle | Compatibility for Tesla Frunk LED Lighting Upgrade | |---------------|-----------------------------------------------------| | Model 3 | Only 2024 and later units | | Model Y | 2020 through 2024 units |
Tesla encourages customers to check their vehicle's compatibility before purchasing the frunk lighting upgrade to ensure a seamless installation process. The upgrade is expected to improve the functionality and convenience of Tesla vehicles, making them even more appealing to customers seeking practicality and style.
The LED lighting upgrade, available for both Model 3 and Model Y, is a technology-driven solution in the automotive industry, designed to enhance practicality and style in all weather conditions. With its simple installation and compatibility across certain units of both models, Tesla's finance department offers this factory-approved upgrade at an affordable price ($100 USD) in the regions of Canada, China, and the U.S.
