The Tesla Model S Performance (2020-2021) has a 103 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 583 km on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 16.8 kWh per 100 km (or 5.9 km per kWh) — ranked №38 out of 695 electric vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Tesla Model S Performance (2020-2021) achieves a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 2.5 seconds (placing it at №10 among 693 electric vehicles) and attains a maximum speed of 261 km/h.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 580 kW (778 hp) and a torque of 1140 Nm.

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

Tesla Model S Performance (2020-2021) achieves a real-world range of 525–641 km, placing it at №38 among 693 electric vehicles. 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?

In Europe Tesla Model S Performance (2020-2021) has a Tesla Type 2 (Mennekes) charge port.

  • You can charge it at home using a standard domestic socket or plug into any public AC charging station using the right cable. Keep in mind that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 16.5 kW, which translates to approximately 88 km of range added per hour of charging.
  • For quicker charging, consider using a compatible DC fast-charging station. The car boasts a maximum charging rate of 250 kW, but remember that battery temperature and charge level can influence the actual speed you'll experience.

Estimate charging time, rate and cost using our Charging calculator.

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

The size and weight specifications for Tesla Model S Performance (2020-2021) are as follows:

  • Length: 4970 mm
  • Width: 2189 mm (including side mirrors) or 1964 mm (excluding side mirrors)
