TESLA REVEALS 1,100+ HP MODEL S PLAID+ AND OTHER NEWS! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers significant news, with the Tesla Model S refresh being a major focus. The reviewer highlights substantial interior upgrades, including a larger 17-inch touchscreen, a new digital cluster, and the controversial yoke steering wheel with touch controls. While praising the performance gains across all trims, particularly the Plaid+ with its 1,100 horsepower and over 520 miles of range, the reviewer expresses skepticism about the yoke's practicality and the elimination of physical controls like turn signal stalks and gear selectors. Other notable updates include a new rear-seat screen, improved audio, and enhanced gaming capabilities. The Model X also receives similar interior and performance enhancements, though it omits the Plaid+ trim. The review touches on other automotive news, including the BMW M5 CS, a Mini Cooper refresh, Hyundai Tucson N-Line, and the discontinuation of several Kia models, but the Tesla Model S Plaid+ and its ambitious features dominate the discussion.
