The 2023 Tesla Model S is a battery-electric sedan with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Refresh generation. The Plaid is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Plaid version develops 1,020 hp and 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 2.1 seconds, which is exceptionally rapid even by modern performance-car standards. Top speed is listed at 322 km/h (200 mph). Its power output is about 101% above the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 53% quicker than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 100.0 kWh. The recorded electric range is 600 km (373 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 17.6 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 250 kW. Its listed range is close to the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,970 mm (195.7 in) in length, 1,964 mm (77.3 in) in width, and 1,445 mm (56.9 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,960 mm (116.5 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 793 litres (28.0 cu ft), expanding to 1,645 litres (58.1 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 2,162 kg (4,766 lb). That cargo volume is about 56% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of Long Range and Plaid. Across the range, the specifications span 670 hp to 1,020 hp, 2.1 s to 3.2 s, and 600 km to 652 km, while listed starting prices run from $74,990-$89,990. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric sedan models from the same period, the 2023 Tesla Model S is strongest on power and cargo capacity, while price stands out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
