Additionally, we offer an overview of the full specifications, an image gallery, detailed information about charging performance, and some online reviews. Our sections include:
Performance
The Tesla Model S Standard Range has a maximum power of 381 kW (518 hp / 511 bhp) and a total torque of 700 Nm (517 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 3.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 100.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 75.0 kWh, with a 25.0 kWh buffer (25.0%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 407 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.
The Lithium-Ion battery uses NCA technology.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 512 to 500 km (318-311 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range.
The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 14.6 kWh/100 km for the base model and 15.0 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 250 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 63 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 24 minutes with an average charging speed of 129 kW.
Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 5% to 50%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 130 kW, with each charging session taking about 16 minutes and 33 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 19.7 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 16 minutes, needing four charging stops from 7% to 48%, totaling 57 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 6 hours and 49 minutes with a standard home setup.
Charge Port
The charge port is at the left rear corner, making it easy to back into charging stations.
The connector types vary between different markets. This model uses NACS for North America and CCS Combo 2 for Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
