Tesla's leadership acknowledged the urgency of updating the Model S and Model X, which have not undergone major modifications in years, making them feel outdated. Recent spy shots confirm Tesla is testing an upgraded version of the Model S Plaid on the Nürburgring. The vehicle, despite its exceptional power, faces criticism for not keeping pace with newer competitors, lacking key features like 800-volt architecture and advanced suspension systems. This situation is seen as reflective of Tesla's slower pace of adaptation compared to its self-proclaimed image as a fast-moving innovator in the automotive industry.
Tesla's Vice President of Engineering hinted at much-needed updates for the Model S and Model X, which show signs of age after years without major enhancements.
Despite its strong sales and updates, the Model S hasn’t undergone significant changes in essential components like suspension and chassis, making it feel outdated and overwhelmed.
The absence of advanced features like 800-volt architecture and ultra-fast charging indicates that Tesla needs to rethink its flagship models to remain competitive against newer entrants.
While continually modifying features like battery and powertrain, the fundamental performance dynamics of the Model S have lagged behind, prompting concerns about its market viability.
