Video Summary

Here is the summary of the YouTube video:

The video reviews the Tesla Model S 70D, a 2016 facelift model. This model is claimed to be the most efficient Model S, with a smaller battery pack and two small motors.

Driving tests showed:

The energy consumption of the car is good at 174 Wh/km.

The range mode provides only a 2% reduction in energy consumption, which is barely noticeable.

Range mode settings:

Turns off the battery heater.

Limits the power to the air conditioning.

The reviewer suggests that having a separate button for battery heater would be useful.

The Tesla Model S 70D, with 65 kWh available, provides about 381 km or 237 miles of range in normal driving.

The car is discontinued and is available as inventory/pre-owned. New models include 60D (software-limited), 75D, and 90D. 60 and 75 have the same battery, but the power is limited to 60. The look of the car is great.
