The Model S is the oldest Tesla vehicle still in production — but it recently had its range upgraded. See why it might still be the best.

That's almost double the range that the Model S launched with, in its least-expensive version, in 2012.

Most recently, the Model S's range was boosted to 402 miles, in the "Long Range Plus" configuration, which sells for about $75,000 new. This platform, when it was first rolled out in 2012, delivered just 208 miles per charge for the less expensive, smaller-batteried version, and 265 miles for the larger option.

Pricing has remained relatively stable, and high, raising the question of whether an "aging" platform is still worth the steep sticker. The timeless design and the steady march of improvement provides an answer.

Wait till we’ll have models plaid alien technology ...

7 years ago, I could only say you are the most attractive and charming girl ... now I refer that to TESLA Model S🥰

My take: Elon’s successors will stop making them ca.2064

elonmusk hey elon we never had a car. we wouldlove to have an environmental car butthis does not seem possible under economic conditions. if you ever Model S ( can also be Model 3 ) gift to us, would be a good advertisement for the entire turkey.

Nice model

It is fast

funny to hear the term 'old' related to Tesla. ( Ford model T is old ..)

👍

elonmusk This is nothing compared to the distance you will go with VPP's and V to Grid technologies!

Correction to the article: Early Model S variants came in 60 kWh and 85 kWh packs, not 65 kWh. The old Tesla nomenclature never had a 65 kWh option. AFAIK, they were either 40 (software locked), 54 (Old Roadster), 60, 70, 75, 85, 90, 100 kWh pack options.

Best car ever :) thanks for this badass for changing everything - the optamus and prime of all EVs

I want one so much! I'm saving up. 2 years....that's my goal to have my very own Model S. I will make my dream happen! 🙂

Tesla model S, BEST CAR EVER ❤️❤️

VIN 1085 2012 Tesla Model S P85 Signature

elonmusk if u so badlly whant to change the way we drive/ thinkin of our Enviroment , when u will create the T that anywone can buy.or make some buyback system to buy our cars and replace them with teslas .Y would be the first one who apply Y dream Tesla but my budget don't

The Model S prototype did look really badass back then.

Great article. Very concise timeline.

Only reason why the 3 is more popular than the S is because of price. The 3 is already way above our budget. Given a change I’d like to get an S or an X.

True, the 2012 Model S is still a great car. Was driving SN28 a few months ago and driving feel was excellent. Model S remains my fav car to drive.
