New Tesla Model S Review: Redesign Update, Price and Specs

Posted by Alice Charlotte on May 10th, 2021

2022 Tesla Model S Nearly a decade after launching in 2012, the Tesla Model S is getting the much-needed refresh for the 2021.5 or 2022 model years (Tesla doesn’t follow model years as closely as other automakers).

Two new tri-motor variants join the lineup and both the exterior and interior design have been changed for the better. This is probably what Tesla needs to stay relevant alongside hot newcomers including the 1,080-hp Lucid Air Dream Edition and the Porsche Taycan Turbo S.

• Excellent tri-motor performance
• Impressive electric range
• The cabin is very futuristic
• Renewed exterior and interior style
• New Plaid and Plaid + tri-motor variants
• Futuristic Star Wars-style steering wheel
• Two new wheel designs

Tesla has unveiled its long-awaited refresher on its Model S sedan, showing off a radically redesigned interior accompanied by minor exterior changes.

Don’t get too excited though … even though prices have been disclosed, Australia is behind the scenes to receive the latest version of Tesla’s oldest model.

The biggest change is in the interior. The portrait-mounted center touchscreen is gone and supports the Model 3-style 17-inch floating landscape view, while the yoke steering wheel without handle replaces the traditional round item.
