Tesla Model S

• Since its debut in 2012, the design of the Tesla Model S has remained relatively unchanged. There were minor updates to the visuals in 2016 and then in 2021.

• The Model S is a large electric luxury sedan that measures 5-metres in length. It’s roughly the same length as the long wheelbase versions of the Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5-Series.

• The design has interesting details such as full-LED headlights, smoked out tail lamps and flush-fitting door handles.

• In global markets, Tesla offers alloy wheels ranging from 19- to 21-inch.

• The Tesla Model S 2025 is offered with three interior colour options: full-black, black-white and cream.

• Walnut-coloured wooden accents are offered for that premium touch.

• Tesla has opted for a simple design layout and moved all controls to the central touchscreen. 

• A design highlight is Tesla’s ‘yoke steering’ which gives the cabin a spaceship-like feel.

• Rear seat space is on-par with similarly sized luxury sedans. 

Features

• Tesla’s massive 17-inch central touchscreen can control practically any car function. It also has a left-right tilt functionality

• The touchscreen also features ‘Tesla Arcade’ that lets you play games and consume content on the screen itself.

• A 12.3-inch screen acts as the driver’s display and relays all vehicle-related information. 

• Rear occupants get a flip-down armrest and their own 9.4-inch central screen to control car functions.  

• Tesla also offers an ‘Autopilot’ feature in the Model S 2025 which can drive autonomously without any input from the driver. 

• The Tesla Model S has received a full 5 star crash safety rating from Euro NCAP

• Safety features include ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child seat mounts, electronic stability control, along with dual front, dual front knee, side, central and curtain airbags

• The Model S 2025 also comes with Tesla’s famous Autopilot self-driving capability that can manage all aspects of driving. This includes lane changes, road sign and traffic signal reading, overtakes, pedestrian detection, detours and parking

• At 709 litres, the 2025 Tesla Model S offers plenty of boot space for at least two large suitcases and some smaller bags along with them

• The rear seats fold down to store larger items such as bicycles or long boxes 

• There is storage space for a soft bag under the bonnet as well which can be used to store a portable charge cable or other items

• The Tesla Model S is available with dual-motor all-wheel drive as standard while the Plaid variant of the Model S gets three electric motors for added performance

\

• As standard, the Model S produces 685PS of power, going up to 1020PS for the Plaid version

• Both variants of the Model S offer easy performance for daily use and supercar levels of acceleration. 0-100kmph takes just over 3 seconds in the standard 2025 Model S and 2 seconds in the Model S Plaid

• Claimed range figures sit between 560-660km on a full charge, depending on the model chosen. The car gets a 100kWh battery pack with a usable limit of 95kWh

• Globally, the Tesla Model S is offered in two variants: All-wheel Drive and Plaid.

• If Tesla launches the Model S in India, it is likely to be offered in the standard, All-Wheel Drive variant.
