Model 3 Highland vs 2017–2023: which collision parts are different?
Short answer: the 2024 Model 3 Highland has a redesigned front end, so its front bumper and headlights do not fit the 2017–2023 Model 3, and vice-versa. Match parts to your exact version by Tesla OE number.
What changed on the Highland
The Highland got a new, smoother front bumper — the fog lights and old air-intake styling were removed and the front was simplified with a sharper cut.
The headlights were redesigned too: narrower and longer, losing the previous 'boomerang' shape. On the Highland they are an all-in-one assembly that integrates the low beam, high beam, daytime running light and turn signal into a single unit.
Which parts differ — don't cross-shop the front end
Because of that redesign, the front bumper fascia, headlights and related front trim are Highland-specific and won't interchange with the 2017–2023 car. Some other parts may carry over, but always confirm by Tesla OE number against your VIN and estimate.
Frequently asked
Will a 2017–2023 Model 3 headlight fit a Highland?
No. The Highland uses a different, narrower all-in-one headlight assembly (low/high beam, DRL and turn signal in one unit), so pre-facelift headlights don't fit.
Is the Highland front bumper the same as the older Model 3?
No. The Highland front bumper was redesigned (fog lights and old air intakes removed, smoother front), so it is not interchangeable with the 2017–2023 bumper.
How do I make sure I order the right version?
Confirm your build (2017–2023 vs 2024 Highland) and match the Tesla OE number on your repair estimate. MapleV lists Highland and pre-facelift parts separately.
