Tesla plans to make luxury upgrades to Model S

According to a CNET report, electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Tesla Motors may soon roll out an update to its Model S electric sedan, to bring about a notable enhancement to the vehicle via additional features and more plush internals, but at higher price point.

Going by the details shared with CNET by unidentified sources inside Tesla, the Model S sedan is set to receive a series of updates, which will largely be aimed at simplifying the production of the vehicle as well as improving its luxury status with additional improvements.

Tesla objective of bringing some luxury-centric enhancements to the Model S sedan underscore a noteworthy move by the company, especially in the wake of the fact that the vehicle is set to face one of its strongest-thus-far competitor --- Tesla's own forthcoming 'Model 3' affordable electric sedan.

Moreover, the updates which Tesla will be introducing in the updated models of the 2012-launched Model S will also help boost the car's reputation against increasingly attractive options -- though non-EV -- from bigwig automakers like BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz.

About some specific enhancements which Tesla will, as per the CNET sources, make to the updated Model S version will include luxurious front seats like those of the Model X; adjustments to the car's front end; and a marginally designed snout and LED headlights.
