| Tesla unveils the redesigned Model S car |
Since its launch in 2012, Tesla has revealed a redesign of the Model S for the first time.
The new version of the car will be available in March, and will feature an updated exterior design, a stylish interior and more powerful engine options, allowing it to cover 840 kilometers from 0 per hour to 100 kilometers in less than two seconds.
This speed is achieved in part thanks to an extremely low drag coefficient, which makes it possible to reach the same level as before the Lucid Air or the Porsche Taycan Turbo and other electric vehicles.
Tesla claims the new Model S with an updated engine is the fastest production car ever.
Tesla's Model X has also been hit in terms of exterior and interior updates and has released a release with a new engine, although people are generally looking to update the Model X.
The new S-Edition has some lighting updates to the exterior of the vehicle, including a large standard glass roof. However, the biggest visual change affects the interior.
Tesla has ditched the vertical touchscreen and replaced it with the Model 3 and Model Y, although the bezels are much smaller.
There's also a butterfly U-shaped steering wheel as seen on the next-generation Roadster, and the screen behind the center console is used for the rear passengers.
Unlike the Model 3 and Model Y, the new Model S version still has a screen behind the wheel.
The price of the new version of the car starts at $ 79,990, is equipped with two engines, a long-range version and has a range of 665 kilometers.
A version with a more powerful new line engine could cost $ 119,000. The engine has a range of 630 km and travels from 0 to 100 km / h in less than 2 seconds.
Equipped with a new, more powerful version of the Plaid Plus engine, it has a range of 840 kilometers and a starting price of $ 139,000.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the Plaid and Plaid Plus versions have a top speed of 320 km / h with the right tires.
The updated Model S has a chipset-based infotainment system that can handle 10 teraflops of processing power and allows passengers to play games like Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 that support joystick. Wireless.
Rumors of the Model S restyling had been circulating for many years. In 2018 there were defects in the new cabin, but Musk denied the idea in 2019. At the time, he said: No Model S car. You keep pulling the car.
After Tesla began testing new engines in 2019, this situation began to change.
On Battery Day in September 2020, Musk said: In addition to basic data and adding cars to the site, Tesla will also introduce the Model S to the Model S at the end of 2021. Tesla has not sent any comments.
