Tesla Model S & Model X Interior: A First Look

The Model S is set to receive notable interior modifications this year. Following considerable speculation, Tesla officially acknowledged the updates with a series of images released shortly before its quarterly earnings presentation this afternoon.

Certain alterations—such as the adoption of a widescreen display—have been incorporated from the Model 3. Other changes represent completely new features.

(Update: Tesla’s website has been revised to show that the Model X SUV will also be receiving the following updates!)

Here’s a summary of the changes observed so far:

A steering “yoke” resembling an airplane control system (similar to the one observed in prototypes of Tesla’s upcoming Roadster) will replace the conventional circular steering wheel.

The front center screen is now a 17″ widescreen format, moving away from the previous 17″ vertical/portrait orientation. The display resolution is also being adjusted from 1900×1200 to 2200×1300.

Alongside the 12.3″ driver display positioned above the steering yoke, an 8″ display has been added to the rear (likely to enhance the in-car gaming experience for rear passengers, as demonstrated.)

Tesla’s earnings discussion is scheduled to begin at 3:30pm Pacific Time. We will provide updates to this article if any further interior modifications are announced during the call.
