All the interior materials are better.
The computer is also more responsive.

DEI for a license plate? Not sure what that is.
The manufacturers often move the economy nameplate up to a larger and more luxurious segment until they need to introduce a new economy nameplate, perhaps under a ‘different’ marque. This must be a natural response to criticism of perceived ‘cheapness’ in the previous offering – “oy, so much plastic and the tablet is slow.” The Nissan Altima was introduced as an economy car and it kinda grew up into a Nissan Maxima. Hyundai models went relatively upscale and then Kia was introduced with to fill the poverty niche. I love how the Koreans knock off MachE and Tesla styling cues – it surely must be difficult to refresh styles every year – this half-decade we’re getting these huge grills and slanty headlights. I’m so lucky fashion has no effect on me.
TLDR: Tesla should keep a solid offering in the economy segment, and not march the Model 3 up into higher basic performance/trim.
