15 NEW TESLA MODEL S FEATURES

EV Channels Review

The reviewer details 15 new features in the updated Tesla Model S and X, focusing on interior and under-the-hood changes rather than exterior design. Key highlights include the controversial yoke steering wheel with no stalks and intelligent drive direction selection, a horizontal center screen, matte black trim replacing chrome, and the adoption of phone-as-key technology. The video also touches on enhanced security with interior radar, a redesigned battery pack for improved thermal performance and faster charging, and the implementation of physical door handles (now force-touch buttons) and climate control systems previously seen in the Model 3/Y. Performance is emphasized with the Model S Plaid's sub-two-second 0-60 mph time. Comfort and utility are improved with rear seat folding consoles, wireless charging, and increased legroom. The reviewer expresses excitement to drive the refreshed models, deeming the interior updates a necessary improvement for Tesla.
