The Tesla Model S, the first all-electric Tesla's sedan, is an evolution in automotive engineering. It combines performance, safety and efficiency. Model S has the highest possible safety performance, the longest range among electric vehicles and over-the-air software updates that constantly improve it.
The car's front drive unit and motor have been updated this year, and its air suspension is now adaptive, so it can offer a breezy ride on the highway and a stiffer one through corners.
Tesla Model S was designed for speed and endurance—with incredible aerodynamics, ludicrous performance and uncompromised aesthetics. Automatic door handles auto-present upon approach and withdraw when closed.

The interior of the Model S, like any other Tesla, is minimalistic. The cabin is equipped with a giant infotainment screen as standard. The 17 ”center touchscreen seamlessly integrates media, navigation, communications, cabin control and vehicle data into one intuitive interface. Many functions are mirrored on the instrument panel and are voice-activated to focus the driver’s attention on the road.
Tesla Model S has a very spacious interior, thanks to the panoramic roof, which fills it with natural light. Finding a comfortable driving position in the Model S is easy, with plenty of adjustment via the electrically adjustable seat and steering wheel. The pedals are well placed, and the seat supports perfectly.
Without an internal combustion engine, Model S allows for additional cargo space and offers a spacious cabin fitting five adults.
With two motors, one in the front and one in the rear, Model S digitally and independently controls torque to the front and rear wheels. The result is unparalleled traction control in all conditions. Unlike conventional all-wheel drive vehicles that sacrifice fuel efficiency for increased traction, Tesla’s Electric All Wheel Drive system increases efficiency.
The linear acceleration of the Model S is legendary, especially when Ludicrous mode comes into play. The secret of its speed lies in its powerful electric motors, one for each axle, and in strong traction with all-wheel drive. Model S accelerates to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds, making it the fastest four-door sedan ever made.
Model S remains an impressive alternative to gasoline-powered cars, especially when it comes to long-distance driving comfort. It is able to cross a whopping 348 miles on a single charge in the Performance version and 390 miles in the Long Range Plus version.
Tesla Model S is designed for safety from the ground up. Much of its safety is owed to the unique electric drivetrain that sits beneath the car. Model S has a low center of gravity, minimizing rollover risk. Model S’s safety record is proven by its NHTSA and Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating along with setting a record of the lowest likelihood of injury to occupants when tested in the United States.
Independent testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has awarded the Tesla Model S a 5-star safety rating, not just overall, but in every subcategory without exception.
