Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is Tesla Model S P85

The Tesla Model S P85 is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 310 kW (416 hp) of power and 443 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 4.2 seconds (ranked №107 out of 572 electric vehicles) and a top speed of 130 mph.

Real-world range of Tesla Model S P85

The estimated real-world range for Tesla Model S P85 falls between 224–274 miles, ranking it №223 out of 572 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 P85 charge port type?

The Tesla Model S P85 in the USA comes with a Tesla 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 10 kW, resulting in approximately 28 miles 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.
