About Tesla Model S 70D (2016)

The Tesla Model S 70D (2016) is an all-electric all-wheel drive liftback. It came out in 2016 replacing the older Tesla Model S 70 (2015). Tesla stopped making the 70D (2016) in 2016 and replaced it with the Tesla Model S 60D. You can still find Tesla Model S 70D (2016) on the used car market, with prices starting around $30,000.

The Tesla Model S 70D (2016) has a 75 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 219 mi on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 31.5 kWh per 100 miles (or 315 Wh/mile) — ranked №325 out of 566 electric vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is Tesla Model S 70D (2016)

The Tesla Model S 70D (2016) can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds (ranked №179 out of 572 electric vehicles) and reach a top speed of 140 mph.

The car’s powertrain delivers up to 245 kW (329 hp) of power and 387 lb-ft of torque.

Real-world range of Tesla Model S 70D (2016)

The estimated real-world range for Tesla Model S 70D (2016) falls between 197–241 miles, ranking it №331 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 70D (2016) charge port type?

The Tesla Model S 70D (2016) 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 11.5 kW, resulting in approximately 33 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.
