Putting all that to one side… how much is it? Explains how the yoke slipped through the net. With the wrong hand.Ī basic function like this shouldn’t divert so much of your attention away from the road, and quite how the makers of “best electric powertrain in the world” (me, six paragraphs ago) signed off on something so befuddling is borderline alarming. So if you’re sat at a junction with half a lock of turn on, you need to indicate in the opposite direction. They are woeful, partly because it’s a weird semi-press to turn them on and off, but mostly because - as steering wheels have a habit of doing - they move around when you need them. It didn’t work on the Ferrari 458 Italia yonks ago and it hasn’t worked here. For reasons unknown Tesla has decided that indicator stalks are a waste of space, and so in its infinite wisdom it has replaced them altogether with haptic buttons… on the steering wheel (see below). The test car at this point was less than 1,400 miles old. Oh, and I found one of the seals coming away on a rear passenger door. Argh! Visibility via the mirrors is rubbish and is exacerbated by the Model S’s sheer size. Depending on your seat position and reach, a portion of it might be obscured by the steering wheel. That screen might be huge but the menu icons are too small, making it fiddly to use on the move. However there are caveats, and lots of them. I was sceptical at first, but it works well. Meanwhile, instead of a physical drive selector you simply swipe up or down on the far left of the screen for forward and reverse. Those in the back get their own screen for climate and vent control. There are four (yes, four) wireless charging pads, two front, two rear.

For the most part, the Model S is in a far better place now than it was a few years ago, and that minimalist design is still refreshingly different from what’s offered elsewhere.įirst, the good stuff: the seats are comfy and supportive, that 17in touchscreen is a whopper (it can tilt to face the driver or passenger), and the graphics are pin sharp. You’re only asking it like that because Tesla has a history of questionable execution when it comes to interior build quality. This has got to be the best electric powertrain in the world right now: nothing else has the same depth of talent for outright performance and day-to-day suitability. Imagine what the rumoured Model 2 could do with less heft to lug around. Though interestingly, probably still short of the magic 5.0mi/kWh we’ve seen out of stuff like the Kia Niro EV in ideal conditions before now.

Pretty darn good: chuck in some slow speed stuff and it’d be even better.

I got 3.3mi/kWh out of a short blast down the M11 which implies 316 miles real-world.

Not that Tesla discloses what a full charge is these days: the internet reckons around 100kWh net, 95kWh useable. The official claim is 373 miles on a full charge.
