ResizePerformance in inclement conditions was considered one of the weak spots of Tesla’s existing models and with the new car, the company is trying to win over drivers in regions where the weather is not the nearly year-round sunshine that its California base enjoys.
Founder Elon Musk said the new version of the Model S will feature the additional letter D — D for dual motor, one in the front and one in the back.
Musk unveiled the new car at an event at Hawthorne airport in Los Angeles where Tesla has a design studio and engineering lab.
Musk said the new car will come in three versions: 60D, 85D and the top of the line P85D, with progressively higher engine power. (AFP)
