Tesla has launched refreshed Model S and X versions, but some fans express disappointment over missing features like steer-by-wire and an 800-volt battery pack.
The absence of steer-by-wire, a feature seen in the Cybertruck, has left some fans frustrated.
Steer-by-Wire replaces the mechanical connection between steering wheel and wheels with algorithms, electronics, and actuators, enabling advanced safety and performance features.
Fans express disappointment on social media regarding the lack of steer-by-wire and an 800-volt battery pack in the new models.
Some potential buyers express concern over the lack of interior refresh in the updated Model S and X.
Despite missing features, the Model S Long Range can now travel up to 410 miles on a single charge with improved aerodynamics and other enhancements.
The refreshed Model S has new wheel designs, enhanced noise cancellation, and a smoother ride due to updated bushings and suspension.
Base prices for the new Model S and X are $84,990 and $89,990, respectively, according to Tesla.com.
