Tesla
Inside, we can see Tesla s usual large center touchscreen interface and a cabin typically devoid of physical controls. There doesn t appear to be much space at the back, but that s not unusual for convertibles. Some sporty orange-hued trim has been applied to the door panels, steering wheel, and dashboard. Besides its aesthetic appeal, a potential Tesla Model S Convertible would be thoroughly unique, as fully electric drop-tops are incredibly rare.
In terms of Teslas you can actually buy, we anticipate that the Model S and X will soon receive a significant refresh as the company tries to get rid of the existing inventory of these models. As for a drop-top Model S, we don t expect one anytime soon - if ever.
The review over sudden unintended acceleration has been closed.
No new car or truck is perfect but some are certainly better than others. Take Tesla, for example. The electric vehicle automaker has not only changed the auto industry forever but also altered the automobile itself with its advanced battery-electric powertrains and over-the-air-updates. Safety has been another key area for CEO and co-founder Elon Musk since day one, though systems like Autopilot have hindered that. But when reports of sudden unintended acceleration (SUA) incidents first appeared a few years ago, Tesla took notice. So did the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Tesla
As the automotive world gradually goes green, Tesla is sticking a finger in as many pies as it can find, and seems to only be growing in popularity - news of high demand needing to be met in the final quarter of 2020 came straight from the CEO s outbox in an email sent to employees, urging them to help increase production in order to meet its 500,000-unit annual target. It seems the automaker has been hard at work during the tail-end of 2020, with Full Self-Driving software being tested for release in the coming weeks, too. Seems as though 2021 will be an exciting year for Tesla.
New-and-improved versions of the Tesla Model S and X could be right around the corner.
Tesla s original family passenger vehicle, the Tesla Model S, hasn t had a serious overhaul since the 2016 model year. That s when it received a restyled front fascia without the black faux-grille panel and began picking up new features like Autopilot 2.0 with Enhanced Summon, and later, Sentry Mode.
But recently, a number of observers have picked up on indications that a new overhaul could be coming to Tesla s flagship Model S sedan and Model X crossover soon. Now, we can add one more item to the evidence list: some lines of code within Tesla s latest software update pertaining to a cabin-facing selfie camera in the interior.
Act fast. The clock is ticking.
Tesla has had an amazing year. While 2020 may not have been the best for most residents of this planet, the Californian company became the world s most valuable automaker, began the construction of two new factories, and started testing its full self-driving (FSD) technology in beta ahead of a general rollout early next year. The automaker is also currently racing against time to achieve its end-of-year-goal of a record 500,000 deliveries this year.
Earlier this month, we reported Tesla still had to deliver over 181,000 vehicles and that figure has since decreased, but it s not quite there. As part of a last-minute push, CEO Elon Musk has just announced any Tesla vehicle delivered between now and midnight on December 31 will receive three months of FSD, totally free of charge.
