45 Used Tesla Model S cars for sale

Although classified as a saloon, the Tesla Model S is a hatchback with a colossal tailgate that reveals 774 litres of luggage space when open. The back seats also come with a 60:40 split feature as a standard, which increases the boot space to an overwhelming 1,645 litres when you fold the back seats. Additionally, there is a 150-litre space at the front, a moderately sized glove box, flat storage between the seats and cupholders under the front armrest.

In older Model S cars, the battery variations were signified by numbers 60, 85, P85 and P85+ before Tesla changed them to 75D, 100D and P100D. The numbers indicate the battery capacity, with 60 implying 60kWh, while P and D show that the battery comes with a high-performance drive inverter. Tesla stopped the naming system in 2019 and newer versions, and you have to read the specifications to be certain.

While Tesla promises 300+ miles in its latest models, the mile range varies depending on the battery variation. The carmaker claimed that the 75D, 100D and P100D could deliver 304 miles, 393 miles and 381 miles, respectively, and pre-2016 models delivered between 200-250 miles between charges.

Tesla Model S is not the vehicle to go for if cutting motoring costs is a top priority due to its high price and maintenance costs. However, the cost of charging the battery, which is a major headache with EVs, is taken care of for Tesla models. The Tesla Superchargers are available for all Model S and cars. All Model S produced after 2019 have free unlimited access, but you have to confirm as Tesla's policies change frequently.

Euro NCAP tested the Model S's debut model and awarded it for high crash test scores, with the car achieving 82% and 77% in adult and child occupant protection, respectively. The car also scored 71% for driver-assist features, including collision avoidance and autonomous emergency braking, 6-airbags and 3-position dynamic LED turning lights. Other safety kits include daytime running lights, washer heaters and 2 second-row Isofix attachments for children.
