Powertrain

The advanced electric power-train in the Model S delivers instantaneous acceleration and enables drivers to experience the exhilaration of travelling 0-60mph in less than 5 seconds, without any gasoline!

Unlike internal combustion engines, the Tesla Power-train includes only one moving part. This enables the power-train to be extremely responsive and effective.

Lightweight

The suspension system in the Tesla Model S provides precision handling and a comfortable drive. Since the car is not encumbered by a bulky engine, the front suspension optimizes the handling of the vehicle.

The Model S includes Active Air Suspension features which combine the automatic lowering of the vehicle at high speeds with on-demand suspension changes that are accessible via the touchscreen panel.

Charger

The model S provides you with everything you need in order to charge your electric car at standard 240v power outlets. With twin chargers and a high powered wall connector, in one hour the model S can regain a 62 mile range. Using a supercharger can achieve a 50% charge in just 30 minutes.

Interior

With a black leather interior, the Tesla S is comfortable, luxurious and spacious. Piano black accents with hand wrapped leather, microfiber seats, and polished metal door handles all add to the allure of the Model S.

Entertainment

A 17" touchscreen console hosts a variety of multimedia capabilities - Bluetooth technology can be used for calling hands-free or streaming music, a stereo system with HD AM/FM radio, MP3, MP4 and AAC format support and a storage capacity of approximately 500 songs.
