The centre console also features two USB-C ports for fast charging and wireless charging mats.
There are black sill plates, and a graphite finish on the electric seat adjusters.
While there is no blind-spot recognition, Tesla has installed cameras which gives users the ability to see their blind-spots using mirrors.
The range is 267 miles because it now contains a heat pump, a significant improvement from non-heat pump equipped models that only manage 250 miles.
Maximum charge speed is an impressive 170 kilowatts.
There is no heated steering wheel.
The car has decent build quality, even with a few panel gaps.
It is said to be a riot to drive, with inherent balance in the chassis, and quick acceleration.
As an all rounder, it has been suggested that almost anyone can enjoy using it, almost anywhere.
It is arguably the best electric car on the market right now.
