Tesla replaces base Model S with more powerful, longer range 70D

Tesla today announced plans to start selling a new entry-level version of the Model S called the 70D, sporting an all-wheel-drive setup like the one that Tesla introduced last fall in its blazing-fast P85D.
In the new trim level, the Model S will be able to travel 240 miles between charges and deliver 514 hp to all four wheels from two electric motors -- up from 208 miles of range and 380 hp for today’s basic rear-drive Model S, called the 60.
To make room for the 70D, Tesla is eliminating the 60, which had been its cheapest Model S since 2013. Starting at $76,170 before any government incentives, the 70D will cost $5,000 more than a basic 60, though it includes use of Tesla's proprietary Superchargers, which was previously a $2,000 option.

  1. Wow...I've never considered a Tesla before because they've always been a little overpriced but that mew pricepoint is very attractive considering the performance. Don't think i can get over the fact that it has no sound though. There is just something about a sweet exhaust note that stirs the senses
