How much does a Tesla weigh?
4 Answers
Tesla-models-70 has a total vehicle weight of 2108kg. Among Tesla Motors' offerings, the Model S features a unique chassis, body, engine, and energy storage system. The Model S made its first appearance in an episode of "The Late Show with David Letterman" in April 2009. Below is some relevant information: Exterior: The car is positioned as a four-door coupe, with dynamic body lines that are unforgettable. Additionally, the front face design adopts its own design language. Another noteworthy feature is the chrome door handles of the Tesla Model S, which automatically pop out when touched, showcasing its high-tech design from the moment you open the door. Interior: The large LCD display on the Tesla Model S's dashboard and center console is sure to leave a lasting impression on everyone.
When I drove the Model 3, I specifically checked the manual. The standard version weighs just over 1.7 tons, while my Long Range version with a larger battery pack jumps straight to over 1.8 tons. The battery alone accounts for 30% of an EV's weight, so there's a huge difference between models. The Model S is even more extreme, starting at 2.1 tons - 400kg heavier than gas-powered cars of similar size. My colleague's Model X reaches 2.5 tons, setting off beeps every time it crosses the underground parking scale. For exact figures, check the certification plate on the passenger door frame, as specs vary by year and configuration.
Last week, I just helped my cousin look at cars. The official data shows the Model Y RWD version weighs 1,749 kg, and opting for 20-inch wheels adds another 18 kg. The all-wheel-drive version, with its dual motors, exceeds 1.9 tons, even heavier than my Highlander. The main reason for the weight of electric vehicles is the battery—for example, a 75 kWh battery pack alone weighs half a ton. The owner of the modification shop said that lightweighting is particularly difficult; removing seats can only reduce the weight by forty kilograms. He advised checking tire pressure before charging, as the heavy weight puts extra strain on the tires.
Having test-driven the entire Tesla lineup, the lightest is the Model 3 Standard at 1,621 kg, while the heaviest is the Cybertruck Tri-Motor weighing over 3 tons. The aluminum body actually reduces weight significantly, but the 78 kWh battery is three times heavier than a gasoline engine. Special reminder to Model S owners: adjusting the air suspension to its highest setting increases load capacity by 113 kg, which is very practical for moving. Always check the approved load capacity on the vehicle registration certificate before hauling cargo.
