How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Tesla Model S Performance (2019-2020) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 580 kW (778 hp) of power and 841 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 2.5 seconds (№8 out of 116 ranked positions, among 744 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 162 mph.

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

The estimated real-world range for Tesla Model S Performance (2019-2020) is 322 miles, ranking it №43 out of 240 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

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

The Tesla Model S Performance (2019-2020) 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 35 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Tesla Model S Performance (2019-2020) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 200 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 EV Charging Calculator.
