Tesla Model S 70D brings AWD to $75k entry-level - SlashGear

Tesla has whipped the covers off a new version of its electric car, with the Model S 70D distilling the all-wheel-drive performance of the company's flagship model into a more affordable package. Promising 250 miles of range, the Model S 70D borrows the independent front and rear motors concept from the 155mph P85D , though scales back on the power and performance in order to hit a $75k+ price tag. It also means that Tesla's whole Model S range now consists of all-wheel-drive cars. Your money gets you a 0-60 mph time of 5. 2 seconds, with the Model S 70D running for up to 250 miles at a constant 65 mph, Tesla claims. Navigation and blind-spot detection are included, and even though it's the base model in the Model S line-up, there's still the promise of regular OTA upgrades. Meanwhile, Tesla also has three new colors of Model S to choose between. Source: www.slashgear.com
