The world’s best-selling electric car has gone back under the knife for a few cosmetic tweaks as Tesla regains its core business focus after the Cybertruck and futuristic RoboTaxi.

Additionally, the plan is to make further inroads into the Chinese market, where their own locally-produced EVs are gaining momentum and popularity.

Models like the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and Volkswagen ID.4 are just two from…
