About the Tesla Model S
The Model S entered production in 2012 and received a revised front end in 2016. This entry represents the facelift 75D, with a 75 kWh battery and dual-motor all-wheel drive. A low-mounted battery and instant response make the large liftback feel unusually eager in everyday driving. The 5.2-second sprint is the original quoted figure for the 2016 car.
