2024 Tesla Model S Engine Options
The standard Model S carries the Long Range moniker with dual motors (read: all-wheel drive) and delivers an output rating of 670 horsepower. For real-world relevance, the base model can accelerate from a stop to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds, without drama.
The Plaid adds a third motor (two at the rear axle) for an output of 1,020 horsepower and an equivalent sprint in less than 2 seconds, which is incredible speed. The additional motor also provides torque vectoring and the entire powertrain has been upgraded for high-performance demands - including a top speed of 200 miles per hour.
2024 Tesla Model S Fuel Economy
The Model S returns an EPA-estimated of 120 combined MPGe and a range of 405 miles. The high-performance powertrain delivers a near-equivalent 116 MPGe and a range of 359 miles. Tesla’s highly-regarded network of Supercharger Stations can add 200 miles of range in just 15 minutes.
2024 Tesla Model S Dimensions & Cargo Capacity
The Model S remains unchanged at 197.7 inches long and 78.2 inches wide.

Another five cubic feet of cargo space is available under the front hood - the frunk. With the seats folded, the interior can handle 61.4 cubic feet of space.
2024 Tesla Model S Safety
The Model S is equipped with advanced drive assist features such as adaptive cruise control with lane centering, blind spot detection, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and parking sensors. An Enhanced AutoPilot system is offered for $6,000 and integrates navigation into the driving systems, automatic lane change, and remote parking and summon.
Tesla’s top-level package is available for $12,000 and adds auto-steering on city streets, traffic light and stop sign detection, and the features from Enhanced Autopilot. Tesla’s system is rated as a Level-2 system per SAE’s rating scale, meaning the driver must be ready to take over at any time.

The Model S features a large landscape-style 17-inch touchscreen for controlling most vehicle functions. A 9.3-inch rear display, mounted on the back of the center console, is also standard as are navigation, satellite radio, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and five USB ports.
