About Tesla Model S 85D (2015-2016)

Detailed Descriptions

The Tesla Model S 85D (2015-2016) is an all-electric all-wheel drive liftback. It came out in 2015. Tesla stopped making the 85D in 2016 and replaced it with the Tesla Model S 90D (2016-2017). You can still find Tesla Model S 85D (2015-2016) on the used car market, with prices starting around €18,700.

The Tesla Model S 85D (2015-2016) has a 85 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 415 km on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 19.5 kWh per 100 km (or 5.1 km per kWh) — ranked №298 out of 695 electric vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Tesla Model S 85D (2015-2016) achieves a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 4.4 seconds (placing it at №138 among 693 electric vehicles) and attains a maximum speed of 250 km/h.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 311 kW (417 hp) and a torque of 660 Nm.

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

The estimated real-world range for Tesla Model S 85D (2015-2016) falls between 374–457 km, ranking it №297 out of 693 electric vehicles. 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 85D (2015-2016) in Europe comes with a Tesla Type 2 (Mennekes) 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 kW, resulting in approximately 51 km 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 our Charging calculator to estimate charging time, rate, and cost.

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

Here are the dimensions and weight for the Tesla Model S 85D (2015-2016):

  • Length: 4970 mm
  • Width: 2189 mm (including side mirrors) or 1964 mm (excluding side mirrors)
  • Height: 1445 mm
  • Wheelbase: 2960 mm (distance between the center of the front and rear wheels)
  • Curb weight: 2199 kg (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 85D (2015-2016), you'll find 745 litres of storage space (ranked №74 out of 693 electric vehicles).

Folding down the rear seats expands the total cargo capacity to 1645 litres (ranked №174 out of 693 electric vehicles).
