Tesla just updated their website, and a tab for configuring the Model S has been added.

Thanks to this, we can now see the sedan’s new nose. It looks similar to the Model 3 which has been unveiled a few days ago.

This is the first cosmetic update for the car, which was launched in 2012. The headlights have been changed, and although they look the same, they now feature adaptive LED projectors.

The in-car charger has also been updated from 40 to 48 amps; this means faster recharge time with the Supercharger stations.

Tesla now offers two new interior trims. The Bioweapon Defense system that was launched in the Model X is now offered in the sedan.

The rear-wheel-drive Model S with the smallest battery starts at $97,200 before rebates.
