Tesla in April introduced the first major redesign for its popular Model S sedan. And boy is it stunning.
The most notable change is the front of the car, which now lacks the faux-grille from the previous model in favor of a snub-nose look that’s quite similar to Tesla’s Model 3, the company’s affordable car set to begin production next year.
With this new update, we thought it’d be fun to highlight all the cool features and innovations inside the redesigned Model S. After all, there’s so much more to this car than its looks, though it excels in that department as well. Take a look.
1. Thanks to the car's all-electric powertrain, the Model S can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in as little as 2.8 seconds — that's faster than many supercars.
2. The car's unique battery structure strengthens the Model S against side impacts and keeps the car planted to the road. Its weight and low center of gravity make it an extremely safe car.
3. The Model S has the largest "crumple zones" in the industry, which are the parts of the car that are meant to absorb the main force of the impact. That's because the car lacks an engine, exhaust system and fuel tank.
