2021 Tesla Model S review

1. Amazing range

When it comes to electric cars, range is one of the factors that can easily set them apart from the competition. The 2021 Model S Long Range trim, which comes with a 100 kWh battery and two motors for a total output of 670 hp, is able to cover up to an EPA-estimated 405 miles on a full charge.

2. Exciting performance

Performance is another strong suit of the Model S. Just like older models, the 2021 Tesla Model S boasts excellent performance, which in many aspects is similar to a typical sports car. It's available in two trims and both are capable of providing an exciting ride. The base Long Range trim is powered by two motors generating 670 hp and can reach a top speed of 155 mph, with a 3.1-seconds zero-to-60 mph time (when new). And if that's not fast enough for you, you can go with the performance-oriented Plaid trim, which gets a third motor for 1,020 hp and a maximum speed of 200 mph, while going from zero to 60 in 1.99 seconds (according to the manufacturer, when new)

3. Spacious interior

As far as comfort is concerned, the 2021 Tesla Model S delivers. The cabin is spacious and can seat five people comfortably. This is thanks to the absence of buttons and controls for various vehicle systems, which are all encompassed in the large touchscreen in the center console. This minimalistic approach makes for more room for passengers, with 38.8 and 38.1 inches of front and rear headroom, respectively. Legroom measures 42.4 inches in the front, and 35.5 inches in the back.

4. Generous cargo capacity

If you want your next car to have a lot of room for cargo, the 2021 Tesla Model S will not disappoint you. It has 26 cu-ft of space behind the rear seats, and 58 cu-ft with the rear seats folded. That's enough space to fit a couple of large suitcases, your kids' sporting equipment, golf bags, pool or beach gear, or even a stroller. Plus, there is a small trunk up front as well, which you can use to store smaller items such as grocery bags or backpacks.

5. The latest tech

The 2021 Tesla Model S offers a great driving experience. It's equipped with plenty of tech features that make every ride as pleasant as possible for passengers, in addition to features that are designed to make driving simpler, less stressful, and more enjoyable. For starters, it comes with an infotainment system featuring a 17-inch touchscreen, through which you can control all of the vehicle's functions. On top of that, the infotainment system allows content streaming and Internet surfing while the car is parked. Standard driver-assist features include forward and side collision warning, automatic emergency braking, front and rear parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control, to name a few.
