The Tesla Models is a car that everyone is very familiar with, but not many people have actually driven or ridden in it. As a commuter car, the design itself is reasonable for charging at night and used during the day, and the mobile phone software for charging management is also full of creativity. The range of the Model S still has some advantages over most electric vehicles on the market, but compared with gasoline vehicles, the range advantage is gone. As the car grows older, so do the quality complaints about it.
 
The current Model S models are divided into different models according to their battery capacity, with different performance and range, ranging from low to high performance of 75D, 100D, and P100D. According to Consumer Reports, the 75D accelerates from zero to 100 in 5.1 seconds and has a range of 290 km (180 miles) in winter and 378 km (235 miles) in warm weather. The high-performance P100D accelerates from zero to 100 in 2.7 seconds, and Tesla's US official website has a range of 335 miles (about 539 kilometers), and the actual range fluctuates depending on the outside temperature, driving speed, and heating switch. If the heating is turned on at 120km at -10 degrees Celsius, the maximum range of the P100D is only 360km.
 
Tesla Model S uses a single-speed gearbox, without the frustration caused by the gear gearbox, the acceleration is fast and linear, the power output is much smoother than that of the fuel car, and there is no noise at all in the whole process, which does not have the mechanical texture of a gasoline car, but it can eliminate the noise generated by the engine in daily driving, and the cabin will be much quieter.
 
Although the body of the Tesla Model S is not lightweight, it has a very good driving pleasure. In standard mode, everything is just right, with no bulky engine dragging down the front axle, and the lower battery keeps the body's center of gravity very low, making cornering very agile. Even with larger summer tires, Model S doesn't lose any less athletic flair, and when combined with optional air suspension, the ride on paved roads is greatly improved. Since there is no engine noise, other sounds are clear when driving, especially tire noise, which is the most obvious source of noise in the cabin.
 
In terms of interior, you can see a lot of Mercedes-Benz elements on the Model S, because they are the parts provided by Mercedes-Benz, such as pocket gear and window lift buttons. Tesla except for some interior parts assembly process in general, the overall is exquisite, but the lack of highlights, because there are not many things themselves, and it is a simple style of science and technology, there is not much place for designers to play, it is normal on 75D, but when it comes to P100D, it is still the same set of interiors, and it is obviously not sincere enough. The large screen in the center looks very technological, and the touch is also relatively sensitive, but the Model S only has a touch screen, which is more distracting when driving.
 
There are three seats in the back of the Model S, but it will be slightly crowded for three adults, because of the battery placed underneath, and to ensure sufficient ground clearance, the rear floor is significantly higher, and the rear passenger headroom is more cramped, and there will be some squatting feeling, and the front half of the thigh lacks sufficient support, and it will be more tiring to ride long distances.
 
Tesla doesn't have an engine, so in addition to the normal trunk, there is also a trunk in the front of the car, and the rear seats can also be reclined, and the luggage space is excellent in its class.
 
Tesla is an emerging automobile company, reliability is an obvious shortcoming, and it will also have a variety of inexplicable ways to malfunction, such as the door handle will frequently fail in winter, the electric suction door will fail, the door will not close, the automatic parking system will fail, rubbing against the car next to it. The Model S was named to Consumer Reports' 2018 list of the least reliable cars in the United States and the 2018 Most Unreliable Car in the United Kingdom.
 
In terms of safety, Tesla received a five-star rating in E-NCAP and A-NCAP, but it only received Acceptable in the small area offset collision of the main driver in the IIHS, and did not participate in the small area collision test of the co-pilot, and the headlight was only rated Poor. In addition, Tesla has had several unexplained spontaneous combustion accidents around the world, as well as several accidents due to passengers mistakenly using AutoPilot to assist driving.
