What reviewers say

Both tests praise the refreshed Plaid’s extraordinary acceleration and useful long-distance range. AutoScout24 finds the cabin well finished and the revised suspension comfortable, while Car and Driver considers its ride and steering less polished than rivals. Both dislike aspects of the steering controls; AutoScout24 also reports inconsistent driver assistance. These reviews cover Plaid, rather than the dual-motor version.

Performance

Powertrain: Electric
Power: 670–1,020 bhp
0–62 mph: 2.1–3.2 s
Top speed: 149–163 mph
Engine or motors: Dual-motor AWD or three-motor Plaid with carbon-sleeved rotors. UK peak-power claims use imperial hp, based on testing, simulation and battery limits. Separate homologated motor ratings are not simultaneous system output.
Drive: The 2025 physical refresh adds revised and retuned air suspension, new comfort components, improved noise isolation and sound-absorbing materials. Plaid gains revised front and rear fascias, splitter, carbon-fibre spoiler and diffuser, plus revised stabilisation components.

Range and charging

Zero-emission range (WLTP): 379–462 miles
Fastest charging: 250 kW
Range detail: Current UK WLTP figures: 462 miles Dual Motor; 379 miles Plaid. Wheels and driving conditions affect actual range; US EPA ratings use a different test. Current US maker EPA estimates: 410 miles Dual Motor and 368 miles Plaid; these are separate regional ratings, not WLTP.
Charging: Up to 250 kW at a compatible Supercharger; rate depends on battery state, temperature and charger.
Efficiency: Current UK product page: 16.8 kWh/100 km Dual Motor; 18 kWh/100 km Plaid. German maker labels distinguish the refreshed Dual Motor at 14.8 on 19-inch or 16.8 on 21-inch wheels, and Plaid at 18. The older 2022–2025 entries are 17.5/18.7 and describe different hardware.
CO2 emissions: 0 g/km tailpipe CO₂; UK maker page lists CO₂ efficiency class A.

Practicality

Body: Saloon
Seats: 5
Boot: 709 litres
Length: 5,021 mm
Width: 1,987 mm
Weight: From 2,092 kg
Boot: Current US owner’s manual: 709 litres behind the second row, with an additional 89-litre front trunk; 1,739 litres behind the front seats with the rear seats folded. Maximum total including the front trunk is 798 litres with five occupants or 1,828 litres with two. The UK product-page 799-litre cargo figure is an aggregate, not the rear boot alone.
Size: Current US owner’s manual: Dual Motor is 5,021 mm long; Plaid’s revised body is 5,046 mm. Width including mirrors is 2,189 mm, wheelbase 2,960 mm and height about 1,430 mm at medium air-suspension setting. Current UK curb-mass claims: 2,092 kg Dual Motor and 2,197 kg Plaid. Main acceleration uses the Dutch maker’s 0–100 km/h figures; Plaid’s 2.1 seconds subtracts rollout. Standard Plaid limit is 163 mph; 200 mph needs paid upgraded hardware. Current US maker dual-motor top speed is 130 mph, differing from the UK 149 mph specification.
Release and generation details: The physical refresh was announced by Tesla in the US on 12 June 2025, with a regional article dated 27 October 2025. These publication dates do not establish the first customer-delivery day or month, so the release is recorded at year precision. This entry covers the refreshed hardware, including current regional specification changes; Tesla’s 2026 model-year naming does not imply a separate generation. Tesla’s Q2 2026 report confirms the Model S and Model X lines were decommissioned. The current US page states Model S is no longer in production; remaining pre-owned inventory may still be available.

Tech and safety

Infotainment: Current UK specifications list 17.4-inch front and 9.4-inch rear touchscreens, driver instrument display, 22-speaker/960 W audio, dynamic ambient lighting, heated seats, front-seat ventilation, three-zone climate control and HEPA filtration. Current display sizes are not asserted as initial June 2025 equipment.
Driver assistance: Front fascia camera, blind-spot indicator and adaptive headlights added in the refresh. Tesla Vision provides camera-based driving and parking assistance. Full Self-Driving (Supervised) requires active driver supervision and depends on regional availability; it is not autonomous driving.
Warranty: UK: basic vehicle 4 years/50,000 miles; battery and drive unit 8 years/150,000 miles, whichever comes first.
