2021 Tesla Model S

The 2021 model year upgrades are substantial. There are three trims to choose from, with the new Tesla Model S Long Range slotting in below the Plaid. The latter is so savage in terms of performance that we decided to review it separately. The standard Long Range received a noticeable facelift, along with some interior upgrades that will undoubtedly be at the center of many internet debates. The latest Long Range now gets to 60 mph in only 3.1 seconds and has a 412-mile range; these are some phenomenal specs.

We'll start with the least controversial and work our way up. First, the rear passengers now get a screen mounted to the back of the center armrest. Rear passengers can use it to watch movies and series, or even play games. In the front, you'll still find Tesla's minimalist dash design, but the large tablet infotainment system is now mounted horizontally. This opens up space beneath for two smartphones that can be wirelessly connected. The old digital instrument cluster has been ditched in favor of a sleeker interface. In terms of design, the new interior looks like it was though up by the person with the thinnest spectacles at Ikea. Finally, and most controversially, is the new steering wheel. Tesla though a steering square with the top half removed would be cool. This particular feature was either designed by a massive Knight Rider fan or somebody who wanted to incorporate some Formula One into the cockpit.
