Tesla Model S is the lucky sedan that brought the company into the limelight. Tesla unveiled an epic redesign of the Model S sedan at the Q4 earnings announcement on Wednesday, 28th of January. The new car will have the world-record 520-mile range, going from 0 to 60 miles per hour in under two seconds. Some wild interior changes like a new 17-inch landscape dashboard screen, butterfly steering wheel, and a rear passenger screen.
The Model S debuted in 2012 and won the international market over. Since then, this electric sedan has remained the same. The upcoming upgrade will be its first major redesign, and all Tesla lovers are here for it.
