esla is generating anticipation with hints of upcoming updates to its flagship electric vehicles, the Model S and Model X, potentially arriving in 2025. In a recent appearance on the “Ride the Lightning” podcast, Lars Moravy, Tesla’s Vice President of Vehicle Engineering, teased listeners about forthcoming enhancements, stating, “Just give it a minute, we’ll get there.” While specific details remain under wraps, the EV community is abuzz with speculation about what these updates might entail.
Anticipated Updates for Model S and Model X
Given the comprehensive refresh both models received in 2021, the forthcoming updates might focus on technological and performance improvements rather than major design overhauls. Potential enhancements could include:
-
48-Volt Electrical Architecture: Transitioning to a 48-volt system could reduce vehicle weight and improve efficiency by minimizing wiring complexity.
-
800-Volt Battery System: Adopting an 800-volt battery architecture would enable faster charging times and better performance, aligning with advancements seen in other high-performance EVs.
-
Ethernet-Based Communication and Steer-by-Wire Technology: Following innovations introduced in the Cybertruck, these features could offer improved data transfer speeds and enhanced vehicle control, respectively.
Second-Generation Tesla Roadster Developments
In addition to updates on the Model S and Model X, Tesla enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the second-generation Roadster. Initially unveiled in 2017 with promises of groundbreaking performance metrics—including a 0-60 mph time of 1.9 seconds and a top speed exceeding 250 mph—the Roadster has experienced several delays. Recent reports indicate that production is now slated for late 2024, with a market release potentially in 2025. Elon Musk has acknowledged the patience of reservation holders, emphasizing that the company aims to exceed original performance expectations with this model.
