The pleasure of an almost silent ride is largely contributed to by the lack of engine noise, present in combustion engine cars.
Clever engineering of a quiet powertrain and an acoustically advanced cabin makes for an astonishingly quiet journey.
Still your mind, work in peace or enjoy in-car Spotify through the Tesla’s premium sound system.
The Model S has a generous amount of cargo space. With no engine, transmission tunnel or fuel system, it's no wonder the car seems to warp time and space.
The ‘frunk’ (front trunk) provides 150 litres of cargo capacity while the boot offers 744 litres of additional storage. At a combined total of 894 litres, the cargo space exceeds most large sedans and SUVs.
Having the largest panoramic sunroof of any production car, the Model S’s cabin provides an open and airy feeling.
With the roof opening wider than any other sedan, it delivers a convertible-like experience. 98% of visible light and 81% of heat is blocked with the sunroof closed.
The chrome door handles are where the magic begins.
When you approach the Model S, the otherwise retracted door handles will extend outwards, ‘presenting’ themselves to you. When no longer in use, they’ll retract into the body of the car for maximum aerodynamics.
The interior has a stunning 17-inch, high definition touch screen – the largest of any production vehicle. It’s a defining feature and usually draws remarks such as “Wow, look at that massive screen!”
The Internet-connected, multi-touch screen provides rich content that allows your chauffeur to control most of the car’s functions with ease. Climate control, media, maps and the rearview camera can be operated on-screen.
Safety has always been a top priority for Tesla.
The Model S is one of only a handful of cars to have received the maximum 5-star safety rating from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP), European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) and the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
In fact, the Model S earned the highest safety score of any car that’s been tested in the history of the NHTSA. It performed so well that during testing of the roof, the machinery met its match, failing at more than 4Gs of pressure.
That's the equivalent of stacking four fully loaded Model S cars on top without breaking the roof!
