Tesla has introduced the '60' and '60D' trim levels on the Model S, featuring a 60kWh battery pack.
Tesla has now discontinued the Model S 60 and 60D due to low demand
The new entry-level Tesla Model S starts at £53,400 for the rear-drive set-up, rising to £57,800 for the all-wheel-drive 60D.

In 60 guise, the range of the car is 248miles, rising to 253 miles for the all-wheel-drive version. There's also the option to upgrade to a 75kWh battery pack, which boosts range for the 60 and 60D by 50 and 51 miles respectively.
Acceleration from 0-60mph - a strong point for Tesla models, given their instantly available maximum torque - for the 60 and 60D is a claimed 5.5sec and 5.2sec respectively, while top speed for the 60 and 60D is 130mph, or 140mph with the 75kWh battery pack.
As with all other Tesla cars, the entry-level Model S will be offered with Autopilot software.
Tesla recently facelifted the Model S for 2016, giving its all-electric fastback an updated front grille and two new interior decor choices.
The facelifted car’s nose now features a slimmer black section and restyled headlights in order to create a face that’s more closely aligned with that of the Model X. The changes are illustrated in the comparison picture above.
Buyers can now choose from Figured Ash Wood or Dark Ash Wood interior trim.
Tesla recalls 2600 Model X vehicles
The Model S has also inherited the air filtration system of the Model X, which Tesla says is 100 times more effective than other premium systems. The brand claims the HEPA filter can remove 99.97% of particulate exhaust pollution and almost all allergens, bacteria and contaminants.

Early build Tesla Model X also disasterously unreliable.

So no need to get you started. Also, the revised model S has all the gubbins (word no one uses) you'll ever need. You do realize the way the internet works, right? You post out of hatred for tesla (or you're a paid troll), but you just help them sell cars. That's the way this works. You dissuade no one that's interested in the car, but help boost their visibility.. That's how the internet works. You know that right?
Another thing that struck me
pack it in
Yea like without an engine they could have storage space in both the front and rear of the car, hold on a minute they have. Next they'll be packing a set of optional and removable 3rd row of seats, hold on a minute they have.
Conformist design
They chose a conventional 3-box shape to avoid scaring the Merc / Cadillac buyers (those still buying saloons not SUVs that is). I can quite believe it has limitations in the rear accommodation - its designed for the successful American family (mom, dad, 3 kids) for Dad's commute. Mum's SUV transports the lanky teens. Pretty good E-series and 5-series replacement over here too, of course.

You know the frunk isnt weather proof? You know the model s has a firewall? For what? The removable 3rd row is laughable. I cant see anyone over 5 or 6 sitting in there. Honestly, go and have a look at one and you will see what I mean. Very bad packaging decisions made all round. The model 3 has the smallest boot opening I have ever seen in a full size saloon. Its a joke.

Why would you post lies that are so easily disproven? At least if you're going to make stuff up, make it harder to look up. It's universally hailed as the next iteration of the automobile from all auto journalist. They all say the same thing. Why would anyone ignore them and listen to you? Again, the way the internet works, is that you are helping them with your posts. They just kicked VW out of tenth place of most valuable car brands thanks to you. How does that make you feel? Like a Klansman voting for a black guy I'm guessing
