Now, it looks as thought ReCode (http://recode.net/2014/10/07/telsa-ready-to-roll-out-an-all-wheel-drive-model-s/) has broke a story that Tesla Motors will unveil an all-wheel drive Model S.
As a driver of a Model S in the midwest, this news is somewhat underwhelming due to the groundforce created by the 7,000+ batteries currently in the Model S. The car is almost like an all-wheel drive car, coming from a previous Subaru owner.
As a fanboy and follower of Tesla Motors, however, I do see where it's going and the timing. This announcement will provide exposure to a new technology for electric cars, but well known for regular gas cars. It's been well known that Tesla Motors' Model X was to have all-wheel drive--an electric motor for the front and back, but this provides a great way to "normalize" the Model X particulars and boost demand for the Model S.
