Main features

The 2015 Tesla Model S is known for its versatility and high technology. The car is built on the S/X platform, which is specially designed for electric vehicles. This design ensures a low centre of gravity, which increases stability on the road, and allows for a large battery to increase the range.

Among the key features of the 2015 Tesla Model S is its impressive range, which varies depending on the modification. The car is available with rear or all-wheel drive, providing both basic efficiency and sporty dynamic performance. All versions are equipped with advanced driver assistance systems such as automatic braking, adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist.

The interior of the Tesla Model S features a modern design and high-quality materials. The centrepiece is a large touchscreen that replaces the traditional control panel. The car also offers a spacious trunk and an additional front compartment. This makes the Model S a practical choice for everyday use and long journeys.

Engine and power reserve

The 2015 Tesla Model S is equipped with electric motors with different power levels depending on the modification. The car is available in both basic versions with rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive sports versions. Thanks to the different engine settings, the Model S offers an optimal balance between efficiency and performance.

Rear-wheel drive models (70) provide basic power and range for everyday driving. The all-wheel drive models (70D, 85D, 90D, P90D, P90DL) provide better grip and higher dynamics, which is especially noticeable on the sporty versions. The range of the vehicle depends on the operating conditions, including ambient temperature and driving style.

Characteristics of the modifications by engine and range:

• Model S 70: Rear-wheel drive, 235 kW, range 245-485 km.
• Model S 70D: all-wheel drive, 245 kW, range 250-495 km.
• Model S 85D: all-wheel drive, 311 kW power, 305-600 km range.
• Model S 90D: all-wheel drive, 311 kW, range 325-635 km.
• Model S P90D: all-wheel drive, 345 kW power, 300-585 km range.
• Model S P90DL: all-wheel drive, 397 kW, range 295-580 km.

All models deliver consistent performance, with features that meet the needs of both city driving and long-distance travel.

Battery and Charging

The 2015 Tesla Model S is equipped with high-performance lithium-ion batteries that provide a long service life and a stable range. The battery capacity varies depending on the modification: from 70 kWh in the basic versions to 90 kWh in the top models. Tesla batteries support both home and fast charging via the Supercharger network.

Home charging is ideal for daily use, allowing you to charge your car overnight. For long journeys, there are Supercharger fast charging stations, which are an important part of Tesla's infrastructure. In addition, the car is equipped with a battery pre-conditioning system that automatically optimises the battery temperature before charging.

Charging features

The 2015 Tesla Model S offers two main charging methods to meet different user needs. Home charging provides stability and convenience, while fast charging saves time when travelling.

Home charging (Type 2):

• Power: 11 kW alternating current (AC).
• Full charge time: 7-9 hours depending on the model.
• Charging speed: up to 49 km of range per hour.

Fast charging (Supercharger):

• Maximum power output: 120 kW direct current (DC).
• Charging time (10-80%): 31-42 minutes depending on model.
• Charging speed: up to 460 km of range per hour.

Thanks to the integration of the Tesla Supercharger network, Model S owners can conveniently plan long journeys. Fast charging stations are strategically located along popular routes to minimise waiting times. In addition, support for home charging makes using the car as comfortable as possible for daily commuting. The real-time charging management system allows users to track charging progress through the Tesla mobile app, which adds convenience and control over the process.

Energy consumption

The energy consumption of the Tesla Model S 2015 depends on the operating conditions, such as driving style, air temperature and speed. In cold weather, consumption increases slightly due to the use of the heating system, while in warm weather, energy consumption is minimal.

On average, the vehicle consumes 170-260 Wh per 1 km in real-world conditions. The models with larger batteries (85D, 90D, P90D) offer a more efficient range-to-consumption ratio, making them more suitable for long journeys.

Energy consumption indicators:

• Model S 70/70D: 196-225 W-min/km.
• Model S 85D: 192-227 Wh/km.
• Model S 90D: 192-228 Wh/km.
• Model S P90D/P90DL: 206-248 Wh/km.

Tesla also provides the ability to estimate energy consumption using the car's integrated monitoring systems, allowing drivers to adapt their driving style to improve efficiency.

Security.

Tesla Model S 2015 has received high marks for safety from Euro NCAP. The car is equipped with advanced active and passive safety systems that protect the driver and passengers in the event of an emergency.

The main security elements are:

• Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB):
• Adaptive cruise control with lane detection.
• 8 airbags, including front, side and knee airbags.
• Rigid body structure thanks to the aluminium frame.

Euro NCAP test results:

• Protection of adult passengers: 82%.
• Protection of children: 77%.
• Protection of pedestrians: 66%.
• Assistance systems: 71%.

Tesla is also actively implementing software updates that allow it to improve autopilot functions and other safety systems even after the purchase of the car.
