Tesla Model S
When speaking of luxury cars with good performance and smooth ride, then don’t look too far; the Tesla Model S electric vehicle is a perfect example. Let’s start with the interior design.
Tesla Model S Interior
The Model S offers a breath-taking interior design with a panoramic glass roof, a rearview camera and a 17-inch touch-screen infotainment system with an 11-speaker stereo, satellite radio, wireless device charging, two USB ports, Bluetooth, and a Wi-Fi hot spot. The doors open to a spacious interior with a convenient seating capacity of 5 people with a cargo capacity of 8 cu ft.
The Tesla Model S can be either the long Range trim or the performance trim (although, the Plaid trim is in the making). The long-range trim has in-built safety systems such as automatic emergency braking, front and side collision warnings. Unlike the long-range trim which has a non-self autopilot system, the performance trim has an improved autopilot system that offers active driver’s assistance. It allows the car to seem to have a mind of its own, i.e steer, brake, and accelerate on its own.
Engine, Transmission, And Performance
Unlike regular petrol-powered cars where power is gradually gained to begin moving, the performance of the Tesla Model S is such that as soon as it is ignited, it zooms off immediately. Whoosh!
The Model S offers a full-time all-wheel-drive (AWD), such that acceleration is uniform on all wheels. Long-range Model S can attain an acceleration of 0-60 mph in 3.7s and a top speed at 155mph; with an estimated range of 412miles. The Performance Model S has an even travel 0-60mph at 2.4s.
Two electric motors (one at the front and the other at the back) are responsible for the immense power that sponsors the Tesla Model S performance. The electric motors generate a combined 534 hp and 557 lb-ft of torque, transferred to all four wheels with single-speed automatic transmission.
Power
One of the impressive and outstanding innovations of Tesla cars is that you don’t have to spend a dime on gas or petrol to power. Tesla cars are powered by electricity or solar; this provides a cleaner source of generating energy and having a sustainable environment; since poisonous gases are not released into the environment. Tesla prides itself on being able to produce cars that go on long-distance electric travel.
Battery Life
Tesla has a very brilliant structure for their cars, and a single part wisely crafted to fit into its perfect place for optimal productivity. At the base of the Tesla Model S car is seated the powerful battery, which can power a 412 mile journey at a single full charge. The battery is carefully designed and placed underneath the floor of the car gives a low centre of gravity and evenly distributes its weight on every corner of the car.
Charging
Tesla cars come with cables to enable you to charge your car. You can charge anywhere, whether at the home, workplace or at public places. However, according to Tesla, charging at home or the workplace is recommended. To charge the Tesla Model S, Tesla provides A Tesla Wall Connector with a cable length of either 8.5’ or 24’.
However, when you are on a trip, Tesla Superchargers are your best bet for pumping power into your car. The battery has a capacity of 100kWh and can become fully charged between 4-8 hours depending on the voltage and current of light supplied.
Tesla Model S Price
Though Tesla Inc. electric vehicles have no dealership in Nigeria at the moment; they can be ordered directly from Tesla to be shipped down to Nigeria. This is one of the brilliant initiatives of Tesla Inc., allowing customers to buy directly from the company, bypassing dealers. The Tesla Model S Long Range costs approximately ₦34.3 million – $72,990 while the Tesla Model S Performance price starts at ₦47 million – $99,990.
Be aware that Tesla updates the Model S on an ongoing basis rather than by model year, hence this results in an update of the features of the car which can affect the prices.
