2025 Tesla Model 3 Review
The 2025 Tesla Model 3 continues to perform strongly as one of the cornerstones of the electric vehicle market. Since its debut in 2017, it has established itself as a more accessible alternative to previous Tesla models and played a significant role in popularizing electric cars globally. With over one million units sold worldwide by 2021, it stands as one of the most successful EVs ever. The latest 2025 version is part of the major refresh known as 'Project Highland,' announced in 2023, which brought notable improvements in design, efficiency, and technology.
Exterior Design
The 2025 Model 3 features a sleeker and more refined look, with a lower front end, a redesigned rear diffuser, and enhanced aerodynamic wheels that reduce drag coefficient to 0.219, down from 0.225. The taillights have been updated to create a more cohesive design with the trunk sides, giving the car a more streamlined and modern appearance. These changes improve both aesthetics and aerodynamic performance, resulting in better driving range.
In terms of paint options, the 2025 Model 3 comes in standard white at no additional cost. For those seeking a more distinctive look, Tesla offers several premium colors. These include solid black, metallic blue, and dark gray for an additional SAR 5,300. Eye-catching options like red and mercury silver come at a higher premium of SAR 8,000 on top of the car's base price.
Interior Design
The 2025 Tesla Model 3 boasts a modern cabin that blends tranquility with cutting-edge tech, delivering a refined and comfortable driving experience. Material quality has been upgraded with meticulous attention to detail. One standout feature is the 8-inch rear touchscreen that allows backseat passengers to control climate and media, complementing the main 15.4-inch center display. The front seats are ventilated and can be pre-cooled or auto-adjusted via the mobile app for added comfort. Tesla's premium sound system includes up to 17 speakers and dual subwoofers, paired with enhanced microphones for clearer calls. Wireless charging for two phones is also available, making daily use more convenient.
The cabin benefits from exceptional quietness thanks to sound-insulating glass surrounding the occupants. A panoramic glass roof enhances the sense of space, allowing natural light in while blocking harmful UV rays. In a bold design move, Tesla replaced traditional turn signal stalks with steering wheel-mounted buttons—a feature borrowed from refreshed Model S and X vehicles—though it has drawn mixed reactions regarding usability and safety.

Saudi Arabia's NEOM port receives first automated cranes, trains female operators
Saudi Arabia's futuristic NEOM megaproject has received its first fully automated, remote-controlled cranes for its massive new port as the Kingdom pushes to establish a major Red Sea trade hub by 2026, with a pioneering program training Saudi women as crane operators. The Port of NEOM welcomed the arrival of automated Ship-To-Shore and Electric Rubber-Tyred Gantry cranes, marking the first such equipment deployed in Saudi Arabia as the Kingdom seeks to diversify its economy under the Vision 2030 reform program. The Port of NEOM is at the heart of Oxagon, an advanced global manufacturing hub taking shape over 48 square kilometers. Together, they represent the maritime and industrial heart of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's NEOM mega-project, backed by the Public Investment Fund (PIF). Located on one of the world's busiest maritime corridors, the port is positioned to serve as a critical gateway on East-West trade routes. The facility has completed a 900-meter quay wall and deepened its channel to 18.5 meters to accommodate the largest container vessels transiting the Suez Canal. 'The arrival of our first automated cranes marks a tangible milestone as we lay the foundations for an advanced, future-ready port,' said Sean Kelly, managing director of Port of NEOM. The project includes an intensive two-year training program for Production Specialists, with ten participants from the Tabuk region learning to operate the remote-controlled equipment. The initiative represents a significant step in Saudi Arabia's efforts to increase women's participation in traditionally male-dominated industries. Hajjer Alatawi, one of the female trainees, said the program had shown her that 'port logistics is far more complex than just moving cargo; it's about teamwork, precision and responsibility.' She added that seeing more Saudi women entering the field 'gives me hope for a future where industries are defined by skills, not gender.' The remote-control capability allows operators to manage equipment from secure, ergonomic environments rather than traditional crane cabins, potentially making the roles more accessible to women and supporting workplace safety standards. Terminal 1 of the port is scheduled to launch in 2026 and will feature horizontal transport automation as part of broader plans for full automation. The facility aims to significantly expand the Kingdom's logistics capacity and enhance supply chain resilience in the region.

Saudi Aramco lowers July oil prices for Asian markets
RIYADH: Saudi Aramco has slashed its official selling price for crude oil destined for Asia in July, the company confirmed in an official statement on Wednesday. The state-owned oil giant cut the price of its benchmark Arab Light crude by $0.20, setting it at $1.20 per barrel above the average of Oman and Dubai crude prices. Saudi Aramco prices its crude oil across five density-based grades: Super Light (greater than 40), Arab Extra Light (36-40), Arab Light (32-36), Arab Medium (29-32), and Arab Heavy (below 29). The company's monthly pricing decisions impact the cost of around 9 million barrels per day of crude exported to Asia and serve as a pricing benchmark for other major regional producers, including Iran, Kuwait, and Iraq. In the North American market, Aramco set the July OSP for Arab Light at $3.50 per barrel above the Argus Sour Crude Index. Aramco determines its OSPs based on market feedback from refiners and an evaluation of crude oil value changes over the past month, taking into account yields and product prices. Plans by OPEC+ producers to increase output by 411,000 barrels per day in July are also weighing on the market. Yet, there was some support as wildfires reduced Canada's production by some 344,000 bpd, according to Reuters calculations.
