The new car comes with “supervised full self-driving” technology, which was previously an optional feature at an additional cost of $8,000. Tesla is scheduled to begin deliveries of the new car next March.

The company explained that the updated version features a new exterior design, interior improvements, in addition to a slight increase in the range of driving on a single charge to 515 kilometers.
