2015 Tesla Model S 60 4dr Rear-Wheel Drive Hatchback

Overview

The Tesla Model S is an electrically-powered performance sedan. It does not have an internal combustion engine and therefore uses no gasoline and produces no emissions. Its lithium ion batteries can be recharged with electricity in your home, and a mobile connector allows you to charge from any available 110v or 240v electrical outlet. The Tesla Model S comes with one of four basic powertrain choices. The standard Model S comes with 60-kWh or 85-kWh battery options. The 60-kWh version is powered by a 380-hp electric motor and has an EPA certified range of 208 miles. The 85-kWh Model S ups the range to 265 miles and is also available in all-wheel drive ?D? configuration, which further increases the range on the car by another 5 miles. The Model S Performance also comes with two motors and all wheel drive. However, the new performance model now makes an almost ridiculous 691 hp, meaning that the top of the line Model S offers acceleration that super cars can only dream of. All three versions will go from 0?60 in under six seconds, but the Performance model is the quickest with a 0?60 time of just 3.5 seconds. The standard feature list is extensive on the Model S, and includes 19-inch wheels, a 200-watt stereo system, Alcantara headliner, driver seat detection sensor for start/stop functionality, LED map and rear reading lights, Wi-Fi readiness, and the 17-inch touchscreen in the dashboard. The options list is also quite lengthy. Other interesting options include a glass panoramic sunroof, two rear-facing jump seats, a 580-watt stereo and 21-inch wheels. An optional tech package consists of xenon lights, memory seats, a power rear lift gate, keyless entry, a high-definition back up camera, GPS navigation and electrochromic side mirrors. The 2015 Model S sees the introduction of a new trim level as well as the welcome addition of an all wheel drive system.
