“Wonderful vehicle to own. The charging network is great. You avoid gas stations. 20,000 miles to first service. Time saver! Great technology. Main issue is Musk. Have to overlook that...but I understand if you can't.”

About the 2024 Tesla Model S
1st generation (introduced for 2012), in the post-2021/2022 update form.
Tesla positions the Model S as its top sedan: a sleek five-seat electric hatchback that mixes very quick acceleration, long driving range, and access to Tesla’s fast-charging network. The main appeal is that it combines sports-sedan speed with family-car cargo flexibility and a minimalist cabin built around large screens. Against rival EV sedans, Tesla leans more on straight-line performance, software-driven usability, and easier long-distance charging than on traditional luxury-cabin richness.
The dual-motor Model S is the longer-distance, everyday-focused version, combining AWD, adaptive air suspension and a roomy five-seat hatchback body. Plaid shifts the focus to extreme acceleration with three motors, 1,020 horsepower and a track driving mode. Both have a tilting center touchscreen, a rear passenger screen and fast charging at up to 250 kW.
