Elegant all-electric sedan
The 2015 Tesla Model S continues to stand out with its blend of style, performance, and technology. Look out for dual-motor models that add all-wheel drive and the addition of new 70D and 90 models that improve range over previous years. For 2015, you still might find models similar to those from 2014 as Tesla releases updates on a rolling basis rather than for a specific model year.

5 reasons to buy the 2015 Tesla Model S
1. Great range for everyday use
The 2015 Model S offers a remarkable range, perfect for daily needs and long trips. Even the base model is capable of an EPA-estimated 208 miles on a full charge.
The all-wheel drive 85D (carried over from 2014) and 90D can both achieve an EPA-estimated 270 miles on a full charge. This makes the Model S an excellent choice if you’re after an all-electric vehicle that doesn't compromise on range.2. Futuristic interior design
The interior of the 2015 Model S is a highlight, featuring a sleek, minimalist design centered around a massive 17-inch touchscreen. This interface controls most of the car's functions, offering customizable settings for easy access. Look for models with the enhanced Tech package for upgraded navigation and more.
3. Plenty of cargo space
Despite its sedan profile, the Model S boasts impressive cargo space. The trunk offers 26.3 cu-ft of space, expandable to 58 cu-ft with the rear seats folded. This sets you up nicely for road trips and vacations. Additionally, the front trunk — frunk — provides extra storage, ideal for keeping charging cables or small items.
4. Thrilling performance
The Model S isn't just about extending its driving range; it's also a performance powerhouse. The top-tier P90D variant can rocket from zero to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds with the available Ludicrous mode. While this reduces the range slightly, it's a worthy trade-off for driving enthusiasts.
5. Lots of room to stretch out
Comfort isn't compromised in the Model S. Front passengers enjoy 42.7 inches of legroom, while those in the back have 35.4 inches. An optional feature includes rear-facing jump seats for small children, transforming the sedan into a seven-seater. This versatility makes the Model S an ideal car for families and group outings.
