Introducing a car so advanced it sets the new benchmark for innovation and excellence. At the heart of Model S is the proven Tesla powertrain, delivering both unprecedented range and a thrilling drive experience. With a rigid body structure and nearly 50/50 weight distribution, Model S epitomizes premium performance. It offers the responsiveness and agility expected from the world's best sports cars while providing a ride quality beyond expectations.

Tesla once again sets the bar for electric driving range. ModelS offers three battery options. All three batteries are contained within the same enclosure, integrating with the vehicle in the same way, providing structural, aerodynamic, and handling advantages. All three batteries use automotive-grade lithium-ion cells arranged for optimum energy density, thermal management, and safety.

Underneath the graceful curves and lines of the 2012 Model S is an aluminum-intensive structure with innovative packaging efficiencies embodying the mantra: every millimeter counts. The elegant structure is strong, rigid, and lightweight. Unhindered by an internal combustion engine, Tesla reimagined the possibilities under the front hood, creating 8.1 cubic feet of cargo space, increasing stiffness, and engineering a protective front crumple zone. Overall body stiffness reduces structural shake, making the car surefooted, solid and virtually free of noise.
Model S exceeds expectations. It seats seven: five adults and two children with optional rear-facing child seats. Behind the wheel, Tesla has combined meticulous noise engineering with a uniquely quiet powertrain to obtain the sound dynamics of a recording studio. The gem of the interior is our groundbreaking 17" touchscreen. It puts rich content at your fingertips and provides wi-fi and mobile connectivity.
