Tesla lately introduced a small design refresh to the Mannequin 3, however a much bigger refresh is believed to be coming to the Mannequin S program.

Now somebody tried to imagined what it could appear to be primarily based on the brand new Roadster.

Dope or Nope?

Tesla first introduced the Mannequin S to market again in 2012.

The electrical sedan has been slighlty up to date over time, however design-wise, it has remained largely unchanged since 2016.

Within the automotive trade, that’s a very long time since most automobile program since a design refresh each 4 years or so.

Whereas it hasn’t modified a lot design-wise, Tesla has launched a number of vital efficiency enhancements to the Mannequin S over the previous couple of years.

Regardless of these spec bumps, Mannequin S gross sales haven’t been doing nice over the previous couple of years and lots of imagine {that a} design refresh would assist this system.

Again in 2018, we reported on Tesla working on a significant interior design refresh that was on the time deliberate for the summer season of 2019.

This refresh was delayed as Tesla targeted all its assets on ramping Mannequin 3 manufacturing.

The automaker is now in a a lot better scenario and might be making ready to lastly breath extra life into the Mannequin S program.

French EV web site Automobile Propre determined to look into what a Tesla Mannequin S design refresh would appear to be if it was primarily based on the brand new Roadster design.

Listed here are some renders that they posted to their web site:

What do you consider the design? Tell us within the remark part beneath.

Electrek’s Take

I believe Mannequin S is overdue for a major design refresh and I wouldn’t be stunned whether it is coming subsequent yr forward of the launch of the Mannequin S Plaid.

Tesla is planning to carry its new structural battery pack design to the Mannequin S Plaid.

That’s a major change to the platform design and I count on Tesla to need to make many adjustments to the automobile with the intention to make that work.

It could make sense for Tesla to additionally take the chance to do a design replace in and out.

I do just like the entrance fascia in these renders. You possibly can see the similarities with the brand new Roadster and I believe it transfers effectively to a much bigger sedan.

Nonetheless, I’m not a fan of the best way they built-in the aspect cameras and I believe the indentations round these on all sides are approach too pronounced.

As for the inside, I believe will probably be nearer to the renders that we obtained from Tesla 2 years in the past than only a Mannequin 3/Y inside with a special steering wheel.

However I believe it’s clear that Tesla will change the middle show to be horizontal.

What do you suppose? Tell us within the remark part beneath.
