Yesterday’s rumor mill proposed that the Tesla Model S would soon receive a facelift and a higher-capacity battery pack. We now have confirmation of half of that rumor, as Tesla’s website now shows a Model S with a revised, grille-less front end that more closely matches the Model X SUV and recently revealed Model 3. There’s no word yet on the possible 100D model with a 100-kWh battery pack for increased range, though the updated Model S page does show increased range for the 90D and P90D models. The 90D goes from 270 miles to 294 miles, while the high-performance P90D goes from 253 miles to 270 miles. We don’t yet know where this extra range comes from, though we’ve reached out to Tesla for comment.
