Tesla’s Vice President of Engineering said the Model S and Model X will get some “love” this year. They need it, as Tesla’s flagship sedan and SUV are both starting to feel pretty old. New spy shots show Tesla testing a revised Plaid on the Nürburgring, so maybe a change is on the way soon. Here’s an open secret. While legacy automakers have long been (accurately) criticized for being too slow to adapt, Tesla is not as fast-moving as it pretends to be. Take the Cybertruck: It took nearly 5 years from being “revealed” to production starting, and when it arrived it was clear the company skipped a lot of steps in validation and testing. The best example, though, is the Model S, as these spy shots from the Nürburgring show.
