Among them? A location-based airsuspension that remembers potholes and steepdriveways and automatically adjusts to avoidthem.

　　在中国电商阿里巴巴集团(Alibaba)首次公开募股和苹果(Apple)iPhone 6开售吸引了所有关注的当天，特斯拉汽车公司(Tesla Motors)对其旗舰车型Model S的无线软件进行了升级，添加了许多新特色，这一举动给关注科技的大众再添了一笔谈资。其中最有特色的功能是一款可以根据位置进行变化的空气悬架，它可以记住坑洼和陡峭的车道，并自动调整高度避开它们。

　　The feature, which is only available in Model S cars equipped with air suspension, rememberswhere the driver previously selected high ride heights and automatically raises the car inthose spots.

　　这一功能只有装配空气悬架的Model S车型可以使用，它能够记忆驾驶员之前选择的悬架高度，并自动在这些位置提高汽车底盘。

　　Other features, which were added to Model S sedans through a wireless software upgrade,include traffic-based navigation that will take into account data shared by other Tesla vehicleson the road, a calendar that syncs with a driver’s smartphone, remote start, powermanagement, and ability to “name” your car. Once the car registers the car’s nickname, it willappear in the Tesla mobile app and in the About Your Tesla section on the 17-inch touch-screen display.

　　Model S通过无线软件升级实现的其他功能还包括：基于交通情况的导航系统(该导航会根据其他特斯拉汽车共享的路况数据作出决定)，与司机的智能手机同步的日历，遥控启动，电源管理，以及给汽车“命名”。车主注册昵称后，该昵称将会出现在特斯拉的移动应用，以及车内17英寸触摸屏上的“关于你的特斯拉”菜单中。

　　The ability to wirelessly upgrade a vehicle’s software isn’t unique, according to Kelley BlueBook analyst Karl Brauer, who noted Tesla’s location-based air suspension was an interestingfeature he hadn’t seen before.

　　美国权威汽车价值评估网站Kelley Blue Book的分析师卡尔o布劳尔表示，升级汽车无线软件并非独特的技术，但特斯拉根据位置自动调整的空气悬架是一个他从未见过的有趣特色。
