2019 Tesla Model S Price

Tesla Motors launched the S model as its first mainstream model in 2012 after hitting the scene with the Lotus-based Tesla Roadster four years before. An electric vehicle without fossil fuel engine “Range-extender”, the S model is probably the most important EV on the market. In fact, it is the only vehicle in the history of the automobile trend to have won our car price of the year without the motivation of an internal combustion engine.

With the new Gigafactory focusing on battery production, the S model is assembled (next to the X crossover model and soon the smallest Model 3 sedan) at the old GM/Toyota factory in Fremont, California. Against protest from established dealers, Tesla sells its vehicles directly through its own network of stores and galleries, and offers a fast refueling battery to hundreds of overfeeding stations across the country and All over the world.

The manufacturer offers the S model in many trim levels, distinguishing itself mainly by the size of their battery pack, and varying significantly in price. The basic model 60-so named for its battery 60-kWh-starts at $68 500 (before the state or federal incentives), will be reached 60 mph in 5.5 seconds and travel 210 miles on a single charge. It and the highest-Trim 75 can be had with a single engine on the rear wheels or one at each axle for the all-wheel drive capability. Next is the 90D (for “Dual Motor”) and P90D (for “performance”), followed by the new headlight p100d that more than double the price of the basic model at $134 500.
