A Constantly Updating Vehicle
There have been a number of upgrades made since the original release of the Tesla Model S in 2012. This vehicle is often tipped as the vehicle that made electric vehicle ownership popular and it’s still a big contender in the EV market today. The 2021 major update is being rolled out in the UK and the vehicle has been simplified with this 2021 update. There are two major vehicles that are available to order from Tesla: the Model S Dual Motor (405-mile range w/ 3.1 second 0-60mph) and the Plaid utilising the triple-motor drivetrain which Tesla claims offers a 1,006 brake horsepower with a 1.99 second 0-60mph. With a 396-mile range and boasting a top speed of 200 miles per hour – this variant is still a hugely powerful and significant player in the Sports market.
Model S – Driving & Performance
The Tesla Model S is a technological marvel, with an unparalleled drive-train and battery density for increased range, along with a drag coefficient that sets a new standard for the automotive industry. Combine this feat of engineering with cutting edge infotainment displays, 8 exterior cameras for its autonomous driving features and it’s easy to see why the Tesla Model S will go down in history as a car that changed the world. However, Tesla isn’t a company to stand still and rest on its outstanding success, as evident in the latest 2021 updates, which utilise the latest advances in battery technology, as outlined in Tesla’s “Battery Day” to deliver even greater range and with a little help from Space-X engineers delivers the type of performance you would expect from a Formula One racing car. We simply can’t wait to see this updated Model S arrive in the U.K. and get behind the wheel to provide you with our updated insight on the new dawn of Tesla’s flagship vehicle.
Deciding On Your Budget & Additional Features
You sadly won’t be able to utilise the green grant from the government to fund your vehicle – none of the grants available is permitted for more expensive, luxury electric vehicles. No road tax is required however and you will be exempt from charges such as the London Congestion Charge. Understandably – every new or current EV owner will have some element of charge anxiety when on the road. The infrastructure has vastly improved in the UK – the Tesla supercharge network will charge a flat battery to around 80% in an hour. It’s highly recommended to install a dedicated wall box rather than the mains if you are considering purchasing this vehicle. You will also need to consider that this vehicle is definitely within the higher insurance brackets.
The vehicle looks pleasing and has a beefy 17-inch touchscreen navigation system included as standard. Internet is available in the car and the main screen operates exactly as a tablet. The newer models feature a 960-watt audio system with noise-cancelling technology. The vehicle is surprisingly spacious with a practical interior. Generous accommodation for five and a cargo volume of 804L and 1,795L when the rear seats are dropped – not bad for a luxury vehicle.
