Tesla Model S
The introduction of the Tesla Model S a decade ago revolutionized the full-size luxury sedan segment. Big on technology and innovation, the pride of Elon Musk received a few modifications for 2021 including a refreshed interior complete with an available yoke-style steering wheel. The Long Range variant can travel more than 650 kilometres, while the new 1,020-horsepower Model S Plaid sprints from 0-100 km/h in a surreal 2.1 seconds.
