slight changes
Cosmetically, there are few changes from previous versions, which received their last update in 2021. Now, Model Year 23 versions will have new matrix led headlightsStorm rims up to 21 inches in diameter and some aerodynamic improvements which, on the Model S Plaid, lower the drag coefficient at 0.20.
At the rear, the drivers have been modified to include a new CCS-2 or Combo charging socketwhich allows the porthole opening and lighting system and the trim that connects the two lights, now painted the same color as the bodywork, to be recharged with alternating current as well as direct current.
There were also a few upgraded interior, powertrains, thermal system, electronics and frame. The brand also claims to have improved certain production processes and reduced the weight of certain components.
