The Tesla Model S, first launched in 2012, hasn’t seen many aesthetic upgrades, other than a front fascia refresh during 2016, but some major changes could be coming this year. Spotted near the company’s Palo Alto headquarters in California, this new footage either shows the upcoming Model S refresh or the tri-motor Plaid edition, though it’s missing the aerodynamic bits to confirm the latter, mainly the widebody. However, it does appear to have a lowered suspension and a revamped air diffuser. Read more for the video and additional information.
Other things we noticed is the chrome delete, new headlights, and revamped wheels. If it does turn out to be the Tesla Model S Plaid, this beastly electric sedan has a 520+ mile range and 520+-mile, 1,100 horsepower, good for a 0-60 mph time of under 2 seconds, while topping out at 200 mph, all for less than $140,000 USD, or at least in the US.
