Tesla has unveiled the new look of the Model S, the full-fledged sedan of the company, with premium upgrades that include the crazy-looking new steering wheel design and horizontal infotainment system. Not only that, the new Model S has dropped the "Performance" option and is replaced with "Plaid" and "Plaid+" as part of the Palladium project for better batteries.
The popular electric vehicle manufacturer and clean energy company, Tesla, did not mention or hinted anything about an entire rework of its lineup of cars, but it seems that 2021 would be seeing that from the company. Additionally, it is expected that most of Tesla's new and upgraded models would be seeing an early release, during the first half of the year.
The Model S is the full-size sedan that is also one of its luxurious releases, having all the features and style of a premium vehicle, providing nothing but comfort and performance, along with all the nifty add-ons. Upgrading the Model S shows that Tesla is committed to perfecting the vehicle and providing its best version for the users and future drivers.

2021 Tesla Model S: Steering Wheel, Infotainment System, Facelift
The most impressive new feature of the new 2021 Tesla Model S is its steering wheel, which goes by the name of "Yoke," and features the crazy, F1-looking design that is U-Shaped and has two buttons it needs for control. Yoke steering was created for drivers to focus on driving, and driving alone-having no distractions for other functions in a vehicle.
Despite Tesla promoting its Full-Self Driving (FSD), it still debuts the Yoke steering wheel that aims to be the solution for a "distraction-less" driving experience for all Tesla owners. Moreover, Tesla is rotating its infotainment system from a vertical to a horizontal perspective that spreads across the dashboard with its massive 2200x1300 display, paired with a secondary display for the passengers.
The new Model S also deleted its chrome finishes on the exterior of the vehicle, giving it a fresh new look and facelift that moves away from its previous design.
