No, it’s Tesla we’re talking about. First, the company is already Model S or Model XExtra for customers who have $700One that required a bombardment of .3 .000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 lbs and proved to be so popular that Tesla sold out this option in 8 days. retrofit option presented.

Tesla wheel is back. Tesla thought long and hard about this and decided that the best way forward was to bring back the yoke, but this time it will charge customers for it. Yes, you read that right – the yoke is as of now A $250 option. Because when it’s free, customers would complain about it endlessly, but when they pay extra – apparently they won’t. and somehow charging $250 for it makes it less dangerous.
