What is the energy consumption of a Tesla?

[VanChristian]

Tesla consumes approximately 100 kWh of electricity for a full charge (Model S 100D variant). The official range of this model is 579 km, so the energy consumption per kilometer can be calculated as 100 kWh / 579 km = 0.173 kWh. Below is additional information: Pure electric vehicles: Pure electric vehicles eliminate the need for fuel tanks, engines, transmissions, cooling systems, and exhaust systems. Compared to traditional internal combustion engine systems, the cost of electric motors and controllers is lower, and pure electric vehicles have higher energy conversion efficiency. This is because the energy source for electric vehicles—electricity—comes from large-scale power generation units, whose efficiency far surpasses that of small gasoline engines or even hybrid engines. The operating costs of pure electric vehicles are decreasing. Disadvantages of pure electric vehicles: The drawback of pure electric vehicles is that they alter the traditional lifestyle of car usage, requiring daily charging. The conventional habit of car use involves refueling once every one to two weeks. Additionally, each trip is limited to a few hundred kilometers in range, although a family may only undertake long-distance travel a few times a year.
