The Tesla Model S and Model X have been upgraded with larger batteries - and an even faster 'ludicrous mode'.
Elon Musk confirmed the arrival of new 100kWh battery packs, an improvement on the 90kWh batteries currently available.
The new Model S P100D with Ludicrous mode will be the third fastest accelerating production car ever produced, with a 0-60 mph time of 2.5 seconds.
The new battery option will extend the range of the Model S to 315 miles per charge, making it the first electric car on the market to exceed 300 miles of range.
Tesla drivers who currently own a Model S or Model X P90D Ludicrous can upgrade to the 100 kWh packs for $20,000
Tesla is working on the next generation of its Autopilot system, which could ultimately lead to a driverless car.
Reports this week claim new hardware will significantly boost the cars' existing Autopilot features.
They include assisted steering and parking with improvements to radar sensors and cameras to detect hazards.
Cars with the next generation hardware would also receive regular software updates, which could lead to level 4 autonomous driving – one step away from fully autonomous vehicles.
According to Electrek, sources close to the Autopilot project confirmed it will use three forward facing cameras to detect hazards on the road ahead.
Improved radar sensing technology will likely allow cars to keep their front facing radar, with additional sensors added to the corners of the vehicle.
Tesla founder Elon Musk has steered away from using lidar in favour of radar, citing improved safety benefits of the latter, including the ability for signals to penetrate snow and rain.
Electrek also reports rumours that Autopilot 2.0 would require dedicated computing channel to act on the car, and Californian computing firm and graphics card giant Nvidia could be working on Tesla's new computing platform.
