The redesigned, high-tech cabins of the new Tesla Model S and Model X could upend familiar driving controls.

Both new cars will offer a high-performance Plaid mode, as well as a longer-range version, with the highest range exceeding 520 miles. The speed is equally impressive, with the Model S expected to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in Plaid mode in under 2 seconds, and a top speed of over 200 km/h.

However, the most noticeable thing about the new models is the change in the cockpit. The interiors of the two oldest models in Tesla's product line will undergo all-round changes, in line with the simplicity and simplicity of Model 3 and Model Y. In addition, the 17-inch central control screen will also be turned horizontally. A rear passenger screen will also be added to the rear of the car.

Tesla will also adapt wireless controllers for new models, allowing the two screens to run 3A-level games such as "The Witcher 3" and "Cyberpunk 2077".

In addition, the round traditional steering wheel of the Model S and Model X has been replaced by a simplified steering wheel called Yoke by Tesla, which looks like an airplane controller. The familiar gear selector has also disappeared, and Elon Musk confirmed on Twitter that the traditional PRDNL gear lever no longer exists.

"The car will guess the direction of travel based on the obstacles it sees and the navigation, and you can take over on the touchscreen," Musk said.

Musk believes that drivers will soon realize the redundancy of the PRMDL shifter. "After not using the PENDL shifter for a few days, going back to using the shifter will find it very annoying!"

Tesla has brought many changes to the car industry, and car owners are usually able to quickly adapt to these adjustments, but the change of no gear lever may bring certain challenges to car owners. It is reported that the new Model S will start delivery in March, and Tesla will increase production capacity this quarter.
