2021 Tesla Model S facelift – new interior with half-rim steering yoke, onboard gaming computer, 1,020 hp 29 January 2021 12:26 pm / 11 comments Tesla has unveiled a comprehensive revision of the Model S, a ground-up luxury sedan design that brought the electric car maker into the mainstream following the original Tesla Roadster. Updates to its exterior may be subtle as the big news is all inside; the interior has been overhauled, its battery pack has been fully redesigned and the top-performing Plaid variant is now a tri-motor setup with 1,020 hp. Inside, the Model S steering wheel of old has been replaced by an aircraft-style yoke, where a square-shaped ‘wheel’ is cut off at top, above the nine’ and three’ o’clock hand positions. Tesla calls it “the ultimate focus on driving”; no stalks, and no shifting. With a stalkless steering yoke, you can enjoy both the best car to drive, and the best car to be driven in,” it says.
