The insides of the Model 3 is rather plain and without any individuality, mirroring the exterior's aesthetic style, but in this instance, that works to Tesla's advantage.

The automobile has a considerably more modern and athletic appearance thanks to its curves. The headlamps' frowning expression adds some classic ferocity and the base trim comes equipped with 18-inch Aero wheels, while a 19-inch Sport wheel is an option.

All Polestar 2 versions include a 12.3-inch digital driver's display and a google-powered infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. Due to the absence of a central cluster in the Model 3, you must utilize the center stack to access vehicle data, which requires you to take your eyes off the road.
