Tesla Model S
Tesla’s big sedan is aging, but continues to improve over time. Its driving range has recently been increased, rising to 600 kilometres in the case of the Long Range variant. As always, the Model S amazes by its breathtaking performance, while its infotainment system receives constant over-the-air updates. In addition, its Autopilot semi-autonomous driving system is one of the most advanced on the market.
