Apart from the usual safety features like airbags, ABS, and traction control, the Model S also comes withĪs for the driver assistance features, Tesla was and still is one of the market leaders, in the industry which makes use of cameras and sensors to help make your time behind the wheel more effortless. However, Tesla does offer a whole suite of both safety and driver assistance features to its customers. Neither the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) nor the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has rated the 2022 Tesla Model S yet. For even more space, you also have a decent-sized frunk, under the hood. Cargo volume is decent at 28 cubic feet, but it expands to an impressive 64.5 cubic feet with the seats down. This panel lets in a good amount of natural light and keeps the heat, infrared, and UV rays out. What further adds to the sense of space is the tinted glass roof. Now as the Model S is an EV, space was never an issue, you get a flat floor in the rear, with enough space for three. You get synthetic leather upholstery along with heated and ventilated front seats and heated rear seats. The base Model S features walnut trim pieces, while the Plaid comes with carbon-fiber décor instead. An all-black interior comes as standard, while a Black and White ($2,000) or Cream ($2,000) interior, is an optional extra. You can choose from three different colors for the cabin. The ambient lighting system and the HEPA air filter work well together to offer a clean and high-quality ambiance for occupants. Rear seat passengers also get their own 8.0-inch display.Įvery Model S comes with a 960-watt, 22-speaker audio system and to further drown out any ambient sounds, you also get an active noise-canceling system. Not having a traditional wheel means, the 12.3-inch digital driver's display is easily visible. Now, these buttons are configurable and can control everything from adjusting the rearview mirrors to the steering. You'll have to pay extra to spec your Model S with any of the four other available colors. As for paint options, only the Pearl white multi-coat comes as standard. You can expect the range figures to drop if you choose the bigger rims, also expect a harsher ride.
19-inch Tempest wheels come as standard on both trims, while the optional 21-inch Archanid wheels ($4,500) are a pricey option. However, you still continue to get chrome Tesla badges. Tesla has chosen to go with a stealth theme on the exterior, be it with the trim around the windows, the door handles or the wheels, they're all finished in sinister black. One way to tell apart the current Model S from its predecessor is the lack of chrome. Aside from the Plaid badge, there really isn't much to let you know that this family sedan can pretty much smoke most supercars at the lights. The Model S qualifies as a Sleeper, given its modest looks and outrageous performance. Only the Mercedes EQS does better with a drag coefficient of 0.2. The Tesla Model S is one of the most aerodynamically efficient cars in the auto industry with a drag coefficient of just 0.28. The Plaid gets you a thin spoiler on the trunk.Ī rear-view shot of a Tesla Model S Plaid The revised front bumper offers a more modern sleeker look along with new headlights with LED daytime running lights, slimmer foglights, and an updated taillight cluster. The design is timeless and has evolved over the past decade, which is why Tesla hasn't carried out any major changes to the overall form of this latest Model S. So while the underpinnings were state-of-the-art and futuristic, the design itself was that of a traditional sedan and Franz von Holzhausen nailed the proportions of the Model S, on the very first try. They knew early on that, if people were to make the switch to an electric vehicle, they would prefer the shape of something that was familiar. Tesla took a different approach with the Model S. If you look at some of the early electric cars that came out in the 90s and 2000s, they were frankly trying too hard with odd shapes, all in a bid to shout about their EV credentials.
