Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Tesla Model S Performance. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Power	Time	Rate
Wall Plug (2.3 kW)	230V / 1x10A	2.3 kW	50h15m	7 mph
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW)	230V / 1x16A	3.7 kW	31h15m	11 mph
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW)	230V / 1x32A	7.4 kW	15h45m	21 mph
3-phase 16A (11 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW	10h30m	31 mph
3-phase 32A (22 kW)	400V / 3x24A	17 kW †	7 hours	47 mph

† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.

Rapid Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Tesla Model S Performance.

Tesla has not released details about rapid charging the Model S. The information below is based on estimated values of the most likely rapid charging capabilities.

Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Avg. Power	Time	Rate
Supercharger v2 Shared (75 kW DC)	75 kW	65 kW †	67 min	200 mph
Supercharger v2 (150 kW DC)	150 kW	105 kW †	41 min	330 mph
Supercharger v3 (250 kW DC)	250 kW	125 kW †	35 min	390 mph

† = Limited by charging capabilities of vehicle

Autocharge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations.

Plug & Charge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations in accordance with ISO 15118.

Actual charging rates may differ from data shown due to factors like outside temperature, state of the battery and driving style.

All about the Tesla Model S Performance

No longer available

This electric vehicle is no longer in production and not available to buy new. The Tesla Model S Performance was available from November 2020 until March 2021. Financial data like price, leasing and company car tax were applicable to the final year of availability of the Tesla Model S Performance.

Pricing

The Tesla Model S Performance had a Recommend Retail Price (RRP) of £93,990 and an On The Road Price (OTR) of £94,980. The OTR Price includes VAT, first year of VED, vehicle first registration fee, number plates and delivery.

Drivetrain and Performance

The Tesla Model S Performance is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The estimated maximum power of the Tesla Model S Performance is 580 kW (778 hp). The estimated maximum torque is 841 lb-ft. The Tesla Model S Performance is all wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 2.6 seconds. The top speed is 162 mph.

Battery and Charging

The battery of the Tesla Model S Performance has an estimated total capacity of 103 kWh. The usable capacity is 98 kWh (estimate). An estimated range of about 330 miles is achievable on a fully charged battery. The actual range will however depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style.

For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in a range of around 240 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 470 mi.

Charging is done using a Type 2 connector and the on-board charger has a maximum power of 16.5 kW. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 7 hours. However, a 3-phase grid connection is needed to achieve this. The majority of homes and charge points currently do not have this connection. In most cases the maximum charging power will be 7.4 kW, allowing for a charge time of 15 hours 45 minutes and a charge rate of 21 mph. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 50 hours 15 minutes.

Rapid charging is possible through a Supercharger connection (expected). The maximum rapid charge power is 250 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 125 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 35 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 230 miles of range.

Energy Consumption

The estimated combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the Tesla Model S Performance is about 297 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 136 mpg in a traditional petrol car.

The actual energy consumption will depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style. For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in an energy use of around 408 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 209 Wh per mile.

CO2 Emission

The Tesla Model S Performance emits no CO2 during driving. This only includes direct emissions from the vehicle itself. The energy needed to charge the battery might have been (partly) generated by the use of fossil fuels. Vehicles with an internal combustion engine will always emit CO2 during driving. Additionally, CO2 is emitted during the production and transport of fossil fuels.
