autoevolution 5 Jan 2021, 20:58 UTC · by The Tesla Model S is in line for a refresh, so while we're waiting for the real thing, why not waste some time talking about this thing? It's called the "Tesla Model S Tourer," and it'll challenge everything you knew about both the Tesla Model S and tourers. 1 photo Let's start with the former. The Model S was introduced in 2012, and, apart from the mild facelift from 2016 when the black snout was removed, its design has remained vastly unchanged. The fact you can still look at it and say it's somewhat attractive is a testament to the great initial effort on the designers' part, but there's no hiding behind the finger: a change is needed.
