Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is Tesla Model S 85

The Tesla Model S 85 is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 270 kW (362 hp) of power and 325 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 5.4 seconds (ranked №203 out of 572 electric vehicles) and a top speed of 140 mph.

Real-world range of Tesla Model S 85

Tesla Model S 85 achieves a real-world range of 224–274 miles, placing it at №223 among 572 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.
