What I don't get about Tesla is: when will they ever update their existing vehicles, like every other car company does? The Model S has been around for over ten years. Aren't they planning an S2? Or this all the RnD they have?
I had to check Wikipedia to be sure. OK, the S got updated motors or restyled taillights, but they're all externally indistinguishable for the non Tesla nerd. Look at how the Corvette and Mustang changed over the years, or the F-Series trucks. They went with the zeitgeist, and the S is still visually stuck in 2012.
Fave lift, new wheels, different lights front and heck. Front spoiler, side profile, larger back wing, different mirrors, windshield angle is flatter, heck has a very different form.
And that's just what I took from a quick look at this grainy picture.
Model 3 had a big refresh this year (2024).
Considering Elon's current politics, the successor of the model S will be the model SS.
You mean like VW and the Golf 2? Just because it's the same name, doesn't mean it's the same car.
