The Tesla Model S Performance (2020) 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 168 Wh/km) — ranked №22 out of 586 electric vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is Tesla Model S Performance (2020)

The Tesla Model S Performance (2020) can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds (ranked №5 out of 586 electric vehicles) and reach a top speed of 261 km/h.

The car’s powertrain delivers up to 580 kW (778 hp) of power and 1140 Nm of torque.

Real-world range of Tesla Model S Performance (2020)

The estimated real-world range for Tesla Model S Performance (2020) falls between 525–641 km, ranking it №22 out of 586 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.

Tesla Model S Performance (2020) charge port type?

The Tesla Model S Performance (2020) 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 16.5 kW, which translates to roughly 88 km of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Tesla Model S Performance (2020) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 250 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 our Charging calculator.
