Tesla Model S Is Finally Getting A Swivel Screen, And It Looks Great
Tesla updated the Model S with a new motorized swivel screen that was initially announced last year when the company refreshed the car with the controversial new yoke steering wheel and other design features. Back then, the company said it would fit the vehicle with a 17-inch center display with a left-to-right tilt function. The new design feature is part of Tesla's efforts to shore up entertainment options in its cars, including the Tesla Theater for movies and video games.
The Model S is Tesla's top-end luxury electric vehicle and is a direct competitor to the Mercedes EQS sedan and the newly-launched BMW i7 xDrive60 7-series EV. The base dual-motor model is currently listed at $99,900, has a top speed of 155 mph, and accelerates from 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds. The more premium tri-motor Model S Plaid comes at a significant premium and has a $135,990 price tag. It can hit a top speed of 200 mph and goes from 0 to 60 mph in less than two seconds.

In subsequent tweets, Li confirmed the display itself is factory-equipped, but the powered front trunk (otherwise known as the 'frunk') is an aftermarket addition.
