Overview

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 270 mi on a single charge — ranked №292 out of 820 electric vehicles.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Tesla Model S 90D (2016-2017) achieves a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 4.4 seconds (placing it at №27 out of 116 ranked positions, among 820 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) 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 270 miles, placing it at №98 among 249 ranked positions. 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 comes with a Tesla (NACS) charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 11.5 kW, resulting in approximately 33 miles of range added per hour of charging.

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 120 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.

Use EV Charging Calculator to estimate charging time, rate, and cost.

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

The size and weight specifications for Tesla Model S 90D (2016-2017) are as follows:

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?

The rear cargo area of the Tesla Model S 90D (2016-2017) provides 26.3 cubic feet of space when the rear seats are upright (№38 out of 157 ranked positions, among 820 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).

Folding these seats down unlocks a maximum cargo capacity of 58.1 cubic feet (№63 out of 177 ranked positions, among 820 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).

In addition, the car has a frunk, a front compartment with 2.1 cubic feet dedicated to smaller items.

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

The car isn’t officially rated for towing.
