TESLA MODEL S AND X REFRESH AUSTRALIA CONFIGURATOR JAN 2021 UPDATE

EV Channels Review

Tesla Tom provides a comprehensive walkthrough of the Australian configurator for the refreshed Model S and Model X, detailing the three Model S variants (Long Range, Plaid, Plaid+) and two Model X variants (Long Range, Plaid). He highlights the significant price differences between initial and driveway costs due to Australian taxes and fees. Key interior updates discussed include the horizontal 17-inch screen with left-right tilt, the yoke steering wheel (with questions raised about Australian regulations), and the premium audio system. The reviewer notes the improved range figures, though advises subtracting 25-30% for real-world estimates. While appreciating Tesla's transparent pricing, Tom expresses anticipation for the 2022 Australian arrival of these refreshed models, especially the interior innovations and performance capabilities, while acknowledging the lack of 2021 delivery availability.
