Tesla revealed today that its new Model S cars now feature a “high-visibility glass roof” after a minor update.
The Model S and Model X have undergone a covert update. The integration of Tesla’s Hardware 4.0 Autopilot and Self-Driving sensors and computer looks to be the primary driver, although the carmaker also added a few more functions.
The introduction of a new “ultra red” hue for the Model S and Model X was covered earlier today. In addition, the company has begun offering a round steering wheel in addition to the “yoke.”
Tesla has since informed its customers through email of all of these changes. Again, we were familiar with the majority of them, but we also picked up some new information. A new “high-visibility glass roof,” according to Tesla, is being added to the Model S:
|Our updated Model S roof glass provides the same level of heat and UV protection while letting in more light for a crisper view of the sky, day or night.
This new video from the manufacturer, which was just released, gives you a quick peek at it:
In comparison to the previous glass roof, Tesla claims that the new glass roof “weighs less and allows in 5 times more light” while maintaining the “same level of UV protection”. The automaker claims that it also “improves handling” by helping to lower the centre of gravity.

Strangely, Tesla doesn’t mention the new Autopilot hardware in its recent communications on the improved Model S and Model X. Presumably, this is because the company doesn’t want to hurt sales before the switch is completed, as same improvements are also anticipated for the Model 3 and Model Y.
Tesla did prominently promote the most recent price cut, even though the firm is keeping quiet on what is unquestionably the largest update to the Model S and Model X. More features are available to you at a lower cost,” it says. Tesla substantially reduced the cost of the Model S and Model X this week, with the aforementioned now starting at just $90,000.
