Tesla to Halt Model X and S Production for 18 Days

In December, Tesla announced to employees working on the Model S and X lines that the company would be shutting down those production lines for 18 days. The result of that pause in production is updated Model S and Model X vehicles landing in the first quarter of 2021. Tesla shared images of the Model S when reporting quarterly results.

While the exterior has gotten a modest upgrade with more aggressive haunches and a sleeker hood, the interior has received a major overhaul to make it more streamlined. While the automaker has decided to keep the dash cluster in the Model S, the yoke-style steering wheel—which has done away with stalks altogether—does convey a sort of ’80s nostalgia that’s reminiscent of K.I.T.T., the car from Knight Rider. The new Model X gets the same interior treatment.

One nice upgrade is a tiny screen in the center console for those in the back of the vehicle. As Tesla pushes for more entertainment in its cars, it’s likely that this screen will allow rear passengers to play games and watch videos while the vehicle is being driven.

Tesla says that it has updated the powertrain, battery pack, battery module, and drive units on the new vehicles. The Long Range version of the Model S is expected to be available in March with a target range of 412 miles. Meanwhile, the Plaid is targeting a 390-mile range with 1020 horsepower. Like the Long-Range model, it’s expected to be available in March. At the top end, the 1100-hp Plaid+ is targeting a 520-mile range, a zero-to-60-mph time of less than two seconds, and a tri-motor powertrain. It will be available in late 2021. The new Model X is expected to go on sale in April.

We spied the interior of both the 2022 Expedition and Lincoln Navigator, giving us our first look at the infotainment updates coming to both. More

This is the new N Line version of the 2022 Hyundai Tucson for the European market.
The U.S. version should look similar, although it will have a longer wheelbase.
Hyundai’s consumer site confirms that the N Line will have the same engine as the base Tucson.
We now have a better idea of what the new N Line version of the 2022 Hyundai Tucson will look like thanks to these photos out of the company’s European division. The yet-to-be-revealed U.S.-spec Tucson N Line won’t be exactly the same, but will likely feature similar appearance changes and trim.

Hyundai Tucson N Line Teased

The biggest difference for the U.S. model will be its longer wheelbase, as we’re getting a slightly larger version of the Tucson than other markets get. Otherwise, based on what we’ve seen from teaser photos, the special grille and 19-inch wheels seen here will carry over to our market. Inside, the Europe-spec N Line features different seats, red stitching, and various N Line badges; the U.S. model will have a combination of leather and cloth upholstery.

Hyundai

We previously thought it was possible that the Tucson N Line would have more power, but a configurator page on Hyundai’s U.S. consumer site confirms that’s not the case. It will use the same base engine as the standard model, a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four with 187 horsepower, paired with either front- or all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic. Other than the larger wheels and tires, we don’t anticipate any other major mechanical changes.

Hyundai

While we’re disappointed that the 290-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter from the Sonata N Line won’t make it into the Tucson N Line, we wouldn’t rule out the possibility of a full-bore N version of the Tucson eventually, given that Hyundai has confirmed an N version of the smaller Kona crossover for the U.S.
Hyundai says that it will release full details on the U.S. version of the Tucson N Line within the next few months, and it will go on sale later in 2021.
