American electric carmaker Telsa has updated their flagship Model S luxury sedan.

Although the changes to the exterior are minimal, the interior has been extensively revamped. The steering wheel has been replaced with one that resembles an aircraft yoke. The vertical tablet is swapped for a 17.0-inch portrait display, similar to the ones found in the Model 3 and Model Y.  Tesla claims the resolution is vastly improved to 2200x1300 with brighter colors and improved responsiveness. The rear seats have received additional bolstering as well as a supplemental display for passengers at the bottom of the center console.

In addition to the updates, Tesla also announced an upcoming new Plaid+ trim for Model S. The trim will feature the automaker's new battery cells, which will give the car a record-setting of 837 Km and 0-100 time of less than 1.9 seconds.
