The Car Guide rating 76%(view ratings)
Believe it or not, the Model S sedan has been around for 12 years now. Styling appears to be stuck in time, but performance continues to rank near the top of the industry. The Long Range model offers 670 horsepower and up to 652 km of zero-emission driving, while the explosive Model S Plaid delivers 1,020 horsepower and up to 637 km of range. Tesla’s Superchargers are another big draw. On the other hand, build quality fails to justify the price.
