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.
