With the Model 3 refresh, Tesla went with a spelt out \u2018Tesla\u2019 rather than the \u2018T\u2019 logo in the back, but having it illuminated or in a light would be new in the Tesla lineup.<\/p>\n<p>The second picture is from inside the vehicle showing the ambient lighting in the door, which is a feature that was also introduced with the Model 3 refresh, but it has yet to make it to Model Y.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-electrek-s-take\">Electrek\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n<p>So far, based on this leak the Model Y refresh appears to aim to bring it closer to new Model 3.<\/p>\n<p>However, it will be interesting to see if Tesla continues in this direction. For example, the stalk-less steering wheel has been one of the most controversial changes to the Model 3.<\/p>\n<p>Will Tesla be willing to put that in its most popular model, Model Y? <\/p>\n<p>Also, what other changes are you expecting or wanting for the Model Y refresh?
