OK. So, if you haven't been living under a rock in the past couple months, you're well aware of Elon Musk's Tesla and the rampage of deposits put down for the all-new Model 3. Forget that it is merely a concept vehicle and forget that there is nothing really "complete" about it.
The car is driving serious momentum and brand affinity for Tesla. Musk has checkmated every electric vehicle effort across the globe. Last week the deposits for the Model 3 were over 400,000!
We give him two thumbs up.
But the vehicle that helped Musk get here wasn't the Roadster. It was the Tesla Model S. You know, the sedan that sold an assload of units and has helped Tesla gain critical mass. It's been out for a bit of time and while consumers are still taken by the mega screen in the center stack, overall, the Model S needs a touch up.
So, it's received a facelift for the 2017 model year.
For the first time, we're getting an up close and personal look at the 2017 Model S thanks to a videographer who went through many of the new product's details.
See the walkaround, below!
Facelift Model S has the following new features:
- LED adaptive headlights
- HEPA filter with bioweapon defense mode
- Standard center console (not removable)
- Forward radar hidden behind the plastic under the T
- 16.5 kW charger (no 22 kW option anymore)
