A few months have passed since you took delivery of the luxurious sedan, and you're thinking about adding some more specialness to your Model S. Which tuner do you ring for more visual drama on such a specialized machine? Unplugged Performance might be the outfit to float your boat. Dubbed "the world’s first tuning company with a focus exclusively on the Tesla Model S," Unplugged Performance was founded in 2013 in Hawthorne, California. The location basically makes Unplugged Performance the neighbor of Tesla Motors' design center. And if you pay the right price, these guys can really hike the appeal of a Model S. See that aggressive looking front fascia? It's not only a simple redesign of the original The carbon fiber and careful sculpting adds both image and function to the mix. And the best thing about it is that Unplugged Performance engineered it in such a way is uses all the factory mounting points and hardware. The only downside is, of course, the price - the full package, which includes the FRP and carbon fiber grille, lip spoiler and diffuser, as well as carbon ducts will set you back a $6,995. Then there's the killer 21-inch BBS wheel pack which is priced at $3,995. Bundled in the UP-01 package you also get rim protectors, BBS center caps and four Tesla center caps with BBS adapters. The cool thing about those protectors is that if you happen to hit a curb, the extra wheel protectors can be replaced in less than 5 minutes with no tools. The manufacturing process uses the flow-formed technology employed for the alloys fitted to the Ferrari F430 Challenge track-focused monster. For the cabin, Unplugged Performance offers limitless customization possibilities. The car picture is virtually a sea of Alcantara and microfiber, carbon fiber and a lot of contrasting stitching. Maybe the pictured Model S is a bit overboard with the carbon fiber fetish, but it's pretty special nonetheless. Oh, and those carbon fiber bucket seats, don't they look just magnificent? If interior personalization isn't your cup of tea, then you might be better off with the "affordable" $1,250 carbon fiber trunk spoiler.

First deliveries of the Model X crossover have been pushed back to Q3 of 2015, then Tesla Motors announced the Model S gets a more competitively priced lease program with a neat return policy. But the news this time around is that the Palo Alto-based electric vehicle maker has dropped several powertrain options from the Model S lineup, but also cut the original sticker price of the Model S P85D by a considerable margin. Let’s start with what variants of the Model S you can’t buy anymore, shall we? Believe it or not, Tesla Motors wants us to believe the all-wheel drive Model S 60D didn’t exist at all... ...even though this option was available for order on the company’s website right after the P85D’s launch on October 9th. To boot, the performance-oriented RWD P85+ also hit the bucket. That leaves the current Tesla Model S lineup as follows: the 60 kWH (RWD), 85 kWH (RWD), 85D (AWD) and P85D (AWD). As for pricing updates, the Model S 85D is a little pricier than previously announced ($84,900), while the range-topping P85D is now $104,500, a dramatic cut compared to the $120,170 original price. But here’s the funny thing about this cut - it comes as the result of Tesla dropping previously standard kit such as the Smart Air Suspension, 21-inch wheels and Tech package, which are now optional extras. Last but not least, something that nobody will ever miss - Tesla Motors will drop the boring green and brown exterior finishes for the Model S all-electric sedan. Good riddance and never come back!
