The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThis final generation of the TeI3 marks the last change made to the insert before the line moved on. According to drivingrangeheroes.com, this version introduced a white elastomer ring around the insert, a visible departure from earlier TeI3 heads that ran without it.
Per drivingrangeheroes.com's reporting, the ring wasn't a cosmetic choice so much as a fix. The site reports the change came about as a result of a change in milling houses where they had a hard time getting the tolerances of the insert and cutout on the face correct, and that the elastomer addressed a spacing and tolerance issue that surfaced from that switch. That account isn't verified beyond the one outlet, but it's the only explanation on record for why this generation looks the way it does.
Against the rest of the TeI3 run, this is the version defined by that ring. Earlier generations in the line are held here without it, which makes the elastomer the clearest visual marker separating this final release from what came before it.
