Tesla Model S
Full-Size SedanProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Tesla Model S is full-size sedan in production from 2012 to 2016, whereupon it received a facelift. It is powered by electric motors from 302hp to 691hp aided by batteries from 60kWh to 85kWh.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Tesla Model S comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.
In the first years of its production, however, Tesla made numerous changes to the chassis design and manufacturing process, making the first samples markedly inferior than the facelifted ones, despite sharing roughly the same exterior design.
