About Tesla Model S 90D (2016-2017)

Detailed Descriptions

The Tesla Model S 90D (2016-2017) is an all-electric all-wheel drive liftback. It came out in 2016 replacing the older Tesla Model S 85D (2015-2016). Tesla stopped making the 90D in 2017 and replaced it with the Tesla Model S 100D (2017-2019). You can still find Tesla Model S 90D (2016-2017) on the used car market, with prices starting around $20,991.

The Tesla Model S 90D (2016-2017) has a 90 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 277 mi on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 30.9 kWh per 100 miles (or 3.2 miles per kWh) — ranked №233 out of 695 electric vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Tesla Model S 90D (2016-2017) achieves a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 4.2 seconds (placing it at №143 among 693 electric vehicles) and attains a maximum speed of 155 mph.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 311 kW (417 hp) and a torque of 487 lb-ft.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

Tesla Model S 90D (2016-2017) achieves a real-world range of 249–305 miles, placing it at №231 among 693 electric vehicles. However, this range is subject to several influences:

  • Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
  • Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
  • Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
  • Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Tesla Model S 90D (2016-2017) in the USA is equipped with a Tesla (NACS) charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 11.5 kW, which translates to roughly 34 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Tesla Model S 90D (2016-2017) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 120 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use Green Cars Compare Charging Calculator.

How big is it? What are the dimensions (length, width, height)?

Tesla Model S 90D (2016-2017) comes in the following dimensions:

  • Length: 195.7 in
  • Width: 86.2 in (including side mirrors) or 77.3 in (excluding side mirrors)
  • Height: 56.9 in
  • Wheelbase: 116.5 in (distance between the center of the front and rear wheels)
  • Curb weight: 4736 lbs (weight of the empty car, no people or cargo)
How much cargo space does it offer? Does it have a front trunk?

Behind the rear seats of the Tesla Model S 90D (2016-2017), you'll find 26.3 cubic feet of storage space (ranked №116 out of 693 electric vehicles).

Folding down the rear seats expands the total cargo capacity to 58.1 cubic feet (ranked №213 out of 693 electric vehicles).

Frunk capacity: The front trunk is called a "frunk", and it offers an additional 2.1 cubic feet for storing small items.

Is it suitable for towing? What is the maximum towing capacity?

The car isn’t officially rated for towing.
