DETROIT, Michigan - Tesla Motors is going after mainstream luxury car buyers by adding all-wheel-drive, more range and power to the base version of its Model S electric car.
The added features to the Model S line-up will see a 7% price increase to the equivalent of R887 000. Tesla will stop selling the previous base Model S called the 60.
The previous rear-wheel-drive car, powered by a 283kW electric motor, could travel 335km on a single charge and reach 100km/h in 5.9 seconds.
