THE TELSA MODEL S
Introducing a car so advanced it sets new standard for premium performance.
At the heart of the vehicle is the proven Tesla powertrain,delivering both
unprecedented range and a thrilling drive experience.
With a rigid body structure, nearly 50/50 weight distribution and a remarkably
low center of gravity, Model S offers the responsiveness and agility expected
from world’s best sports cars while providing the ride quality of a saloon.
THE 21ST CENTURY POWERTRAIN
Tesla’s advanced electric powertrain delivers exhilarating performance. Unlike the
internal combustion engine with hundreds of moving pieces that spark, pump, belch,
and groan, the Tesla motor has only one moving piece: the rotor. As a result,
Model S acceleration is instantaneous, like flipping a switch. Hit the accelerator.
In 5.6 seconds, Model S is traveling 60 miles per hour, without hesitation and
without a drop of petrol.
MODEL S PERFORMANCE
Model S Performance takes electric performance to the next level. Equipped with
the 85 kilowatt-hour battery and a high performance drive inverter, Model S
Performance accelerates to 60 miles per hour in 4.4 seconds. If driven the same
way as Model S, both cars achieve the same efficiency thanks to the unique
powertrain design. Model S Performance features an interior replete with Alcantara
and carbon fiber accents.
AGILITY AND GRACE
The Model S suspension system was developed for the unique architecture of Model S.
It works in harmony with the rigid and light Tesla platform to provide precision
handling and optimum comfort. Unencumbered by an engine, the lightweight front
suspension optimizes wheel control. The rear multi-link suspension is designed to
seamlessly integrate with the powertrain.
ACTIVE AIR SUSPENSION
Much more than a great ride and handling package, the Active Air Suspension combines
automatic advantages with on-demand features. As Model S accelerates, it lowers the
vehicle for optimized aerodynamics and increased range. Use the touchscreen to raise
or lower Model S when traversing thick snow or pulling into steep driveways.
POWER STEERING
Electronic Power Steering automatically reacts to driving conditions to stay comfortable
and responsive at all speeds. The feedback is so precise, you'll feel constantly
connected to the road.
GO FARTHER
Model S sets the bar for electric driving range. Model S is offered with three battery
options, each delivering unprecedented range. All three batteries are contained within
the same enclosure, integrating with the vehicle in the same way, providing structural,
aerodynamic, and handling advantages. All three batteries use automotive-grade
lithium-ion cells arranged for optimum energy density, thermal management, and safety.
PLUG IN ANYWHERE
Model S comes standard with everything you need to plug into the most common 240-volt
outlet, standard 120-volt wall outlets and public stations. Using a high-amperage
240-volt outlet, Model S can be recharged at the rate of 100 km range per hour. A
fifty-percent charge in thirty minutes can be achieved with a Tesla Supercharger.
Ask Tesla owners how long it takes to charge and they'll say just a few moments. Like
they do with a cell phone, most Tesla owners plug in at night. By morning, their
battery is completely recharged. The touchscreen can be used to create a customized
charging schedule that enables you to charge when electricity rates are lower during
off-peak hours.
ALL GLASS PANORAMIC ROOF
With the All Glass Panoramic Roof, Model S is the only sedan capable of delivering a
convertible-like drive experience every day. It's more than a sunroof: the entire roof
is constructed from lightweight safety glass. With a simple swipe of the Touchscreen,
it opens wider than any other sedan's panoramic roof. On even the hottest days, the
innovative glass keeps the cabin comfortable.
MORE THAN A POWER SOURCE
The battery is a rigid, high-performance structure in its own right. But when married
to the state-of-the-art body structure, Model S achieves even higher torsional rigidity
and a lower center of gravity. The battery itself is designed for safety. Liquid-cooled,
the battery maintains consistent temperaturesto prevent cells from overheating. In the
event of a crash, the battery structure protects cells from impact and automatically
disconnects the power supply. The battery not only protects its contents, but its position
augments the overall strength of the passenger cabin.
NO TAILPIPE.ZERO EMISSIONS.
With no tailpipe to spew harmful emissions, Tesla vehicles liberate their owners from the
petroleum-burning paradigm. They are the only cars to get more efficient from the moment
they're first driven.
Gasoline-powered vehicles and hybrids burn refined petroleum. Tesla vehicles can use
electricity however it is produced, be it from coal, solar, hydro, geothermal, or wind
power. As the grid shifts to increasingly efficient technologies, Tesla owners reap the
efficiency benefits.
