    Website Updated!!!

    I know we saw a sneak peak of the Model S Design Studio earlier, but now the entire Model S section of Tesla Motors | Premium Electric Vehicles has been updated. Design Studio is officially added to the site and the feature section is 100x bigger. Tons of new pictures and info.

    Looks like the "Interior", "Packages," and "Options" menus aren't online yet. Ah well.

    Also, how does the Signature edition have FEWER paint color options?

    I'm liking the Monterey Blue best so far, personally.

    Two things I'm not sure I've heard before:

    "The optional air suspension automatically responds to speed and road conditions. As Model S accelerates, it lowers the vehicle for optimized aerodynamics and handling. Lower or raise Model S using the touchscreen to unload cargo when parked."

    "Scan the streamlined body panels and you’ll discover that Model S lacks a fuel door. Approach the driver’s side taillight holding a connector and something surprising happens: a triangle opens to reveal a small charge port. The connectors enable, from one Tesla-designed port, rapid charging as well as charging from 240 volt and 120 volt outlets."

    Some of it was discussed in the "design studio" and "charging port" threads already.

    Night mode / Day mode. Why does Night Mode make me think of an airplane?
    Buying an EV is one thing, being able to drive it beyond city limits another...

    Am I the only one who doesnt like the tail lights the way they are? They look tacky to me. I'd prefer the solid red lights that they had on the prototype. It wouldnt be a big deal if I could just remove them and paint them red except they're connected to the charge port. I definitely wouldnt want to mess that up.

    I really hope there is an option for generic red lights.

    Complaining aside I'm so geeked out for all the stuff they've been updated on their site.

    Not sure whether I like the interior changes yet or not. Looking forward to impressions from people tomorrow and Sunday at the event who can see it in person.

    For some reason I can't highlight the text to copy and paste, but in the features section the key is mentioned:

    "Programmable for individual drivers, the Tesla key loads preferred setting (seat, mirror, steering wheel positions) and commands the door handles to slide out as you approach. Model S turns on as you buckle up."

    Now that buckling up thing is very cool.

    Boot space with seats folded is 1838l, almost as much as the cargo-mighty Merc E-class, and way more than 5 series estate, Volvo or Audi. Without folded, it's still 1000 or so litres, which is absolutely incredible.

    EDIT: Looking through more of the Model S section, I've come to the conclusion that this is the most beautiful, functional and desirable car I have ever seen or heard of. The interior blows me away, as does everything else! As far as I'm concerned Tesla's goal of electrification of transport is as good as accomplished, I'm sure they'll follow this with an equally as desirable bluestar (eventually).

    Amen to that! This is really "hitting it out of the park" and making sure no one smirks anymore when the term EV is dropped. Eat this, BMW, Merc, Lexus, etc.!

    Make sure you select United States as your region. My account defaulted to Canada and none of the new stuff was available.

    Yep I had a similar problem with the UK, but instead of changing location I could get to everything new using the sitemap under "about Tesla".
