About Tesla Model S 70D (2015-2016)

Detailed Descriptions

The Tesla Model S 70D (2015-2016) is an all-electric all-wheel drive liftback. It came out in 2015. Tesla stopped making the 70D in 2016 and replaced it with the Tesla Model S 70D (2016-…). You can still find Tesla Model S 70D (2015-2016) on the used car market, with prices starting around €18,950.

The Tesla Model S 70D (2015-2016) has a 70 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 359 km on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 18.5 kWh per 100 km (or 5.4 km per kWh) — ranked №435 out of 695 electric vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Tesla Model S 70D (2015-2016) can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds (ranked №239 out of 693 electric vehicles) and reach a top speed of 225 km/h.

The car’s powertrain delivers up to 245 kW (329 hp) of power and 525 Nm of torque.

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

Real-world range of the Tesla Model S 70D (2015-2016) is 323–395 km (ranked №434 out of 693 electric vehicles) — depending on several factors, including:

  • Speed: Higher speeds deplete the battery faster.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold and hot weather impacts range.
  • Terrain: Hilly or mountainous terrain reduces range.
  • Driving style: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
  • Use of features: Features like climate control and media system also affect range.

It's important to remember that these are just estimates, and your actual range may vary. It's always best to factor in these various factors when planning your trip and be prepared for potential charging stops.

Plan your trips using the EV Navigation interactive map.

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

The Tesla Model S 70D (2015-2016) in Europe is equipped with a Tesla Type 2 (Mennekes) 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 kW, which translates to roughly 53 km of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Tesla Model S 70D (2015-2016) 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.
