What is the range of Tesla Model S?
2 Answers
Tesla Model S has a maximum range of 632 kilometers. Range: Range can also be referred to as endurance, which indicates the total distance a vehicle or ship can travel continuously with maximum fuel reserves. For electric vehicles, the range refers to the distance traveled from a fully charged state of the power battery to the end of the test under standard conditions. It is an important economic indicator for electric vehicles. New energy vehicle range: Refers to the distance traveled at a constant speed under ideal road conditions, wind speed, temperature, etc., on a single full charge. Hybrid vehicles and lead-acid battery (low-speed vehicles) generally have relatively shorter ranges.
As a Model S owner, I can personally attest to the practicality of its range. The Long Range version is rated at 405 miles (approximately 650 km), but actual driving range is significantly affected by weather. In summer, with air conditioning on and driving at highway speeds, it can cover around 370 miles. In winter, the battery drains faster when cold, often dropping to 300 miles. However, driving steadily and utilizing the regenerative braking system can recover some charge during downhill driving, which is really reassuring. For my daily urban commute of about 40 km, a full charge easily lasts one to two weeks. Long trips aren't a concern either, thanks to Tesla's extensive Supercharger network—charging back to 80% in just half an hour. Regular software updates further optimize the range, making the overall experience both convenient and reassuring.
