The Tesla Model S is the first EV with a 400 mile-plus range
Even as Elon Musk’s Tesla Motors goes in all in to ramp up production of its coming commercial electric semi-truck, the company just announced that its Model S Long Range Plus sedan is now EPA-rated to run for 402 miles on a charge. That makes Tesla’s range-topping car the first electric vehicle to break the 400-mile barrier. The company says that represents a nearly 20 percent increase in operating range over a 2019-vintage Model S 100D that featured an identical battery pack array.
The car was most recently rated at 391 miles. By comparison, the first Model S to roll off the assembly line back in 2012 could only muster what was then a still impressive 265 miles with a full charge. At that, the Model S remains just as quick as ever off the line, able to make the leap to 60 mph from a standing start in a mere 3.7 seconds.
Rather than reinvent the power cell, Tesla extended the car’s range via a series of tweaks and improvements learned from the Model 3 and Model Y’s engineering and manufacturing process. For starters, the already heavy Model S shaved off a few pounds—which is the quickest and easiest way to improve a vehicle’s efficiency—via use of some lighter weight materials, particularly as regards the battery pack and drive units.
