About Tesla Model S 85

The Tesla Model S 85 is an all-electric rear-wheel drive liftback. It came out in 2012. Tesla stopped making the 85 in 2016 and replaced it with the Tesla Model S 75. You can still find Tesla Model S 85 on the used car market, with prices starting around €16,999.

The Tesla Model S 85 has a 85 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 401 km on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 20.1 kWh per 100 km (or 201 Wh/km) — ranked №236 out of 586 electric vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is Tesla Model S 85

The Tesla Model S 85 is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 278 kW (373 hp) of power and 440 Nm of torque.

This enables a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 5.6 seconds (ranked №195 out of 586 electric vehicles) and a top speed of 225 km/h.

Real-world range of Tesla Model S 85

The real-world range of the Tesla Model S 85 is 361–441 km (ranked №236 out of 586 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.

Tesla Model S 85 charge port type?

The Tesla Model S 85 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 49 km of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Tesla Model S 85 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.
