The debate rages on as to whether Tesla is a vehicle or another technological breakthrough on wheels. Either way that may hardly matter if consumers prefer to drive an electric vehicle over the traditional powered one. The American company has been gaining ground as of late although there is obviously plenty of room for improvement.
Similar to how automakers enhance their new models, the Tesla Model S and Tesla Model X could be getting some perks soon. Hackers have their way of finding out confidential information, and the latest leak comes from Twitter user Green.
In a recent tweet, Green revealed some curious hardware changes for Tesla's next batch of EVs. Among those mentioned include an integrated inductive phone charger (Qi) for S/X cars, two new S/X battery types, new lumbar, new charge port type, and new suspension version. Depending on how techie a person is, these could be improvements worth watching out for. But the better question is, will these changes be included in the next Tesla Model S and Model X?
New hardware incoming.
Integrated inductive phone charger (Qi) for S/X cars.
Two new S/X battery types in several configs (not yet sure of the capacity - TBD)
new lumbar (so new seats?)
New charge port type.
New suspension version.
I would speculate all these are imminent 1/ — green (@greentheonly) January 25, 2020
There could be some integrated into the next batch of Tesla cars. As pointed out by Cleantechnica.com, CEO Elon Musk did mention something about getting close to a battery pack with a service life of 1 million miles. Teslas with longer battery life should ease up concerns of consumers when on the go and as far as vehicle maintenance concerns. But would these factors in the actual pricing of Tesla Model S or X?
Aside from that, seeing a Tesla with a better ride should be welcome. If a new suspension mechanism is in the works, potential buyers should enjoy a smoother ride. Pair that up with new premium seats; any Tesla owner should get the comfy ride that most often yearn for.
As mentioned in a previous post, Tesla has been going great with stocks surging to record heights. Musk and the company are obviously on to something, and such should improve the marketability of its Tesla model offerings. Being the second most valuable auto-maker behind Toyota now, Musk and the company should continue to focus on adding new features and making rides better.
With car companies like Volvo out to crowd the electric car segment, Tesla can stay upfront with innovations that its competitors will likely fall behind from. Hence, if Musk really wants to urge customers to buy a Tesla now, these leaked upgrades should help convince them to get one soon.
