Tesla Model STesla Model S - Consumption and Range
Consumption is influenced by many factors: speed, outside temperature, heating, air conditioning, seat heating and battery conditioning. Since statistics are weighted by kilometres driven, a single 200 km motorway trip in summer at 100 km/h has more influence on the average than ten short city trips.
Costs are based on community data (mostly DACH market). Conversion: 1 EUR = 1.08 $ (as of 2026-04-07).

WLTP Data & Real Consumption
No EPA data available yet for this model. Showing WLTP values instead.
| Battery | Range | Real Range (100% → 0%) | Consumption | Real Consumption |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 85 RWD | 261 miles | 317 miles/298 miles | 3.5 mi/kWh | 3.8 mi/kWh +10.4% |
WLTP = official manufacturer value (COMBINED). Real consumption is based on user data from EV Monitor.
Community consumption values show normalised driving consumption - charging losses have been removed (AC: 10%, DC: 5%). WLTP only measures driving consumption without standby and preconditioning - a difference of 5-15% is therefore normal.

Tesla Model S - Consumption, Range & Charging Costs
The Tesla Model S is an electric vehicle with an official WLTP range of up to 405 miles. According to real-world data from EV Monitor users, the average consumption is 3.8 mi/kWh - based on 2531 charging sessions (2247 with consumption measurement).
Charging Costs in Daily Use
The average charging price for the Tesla Model S according to user data is 0.32 $/kWh. A typical charging session of 30.3 kWh therefore costs around 9.74 $.
WLTP vs. Real Consumption
The WLTP value is measured under standardized test conditions and often differs in everyday use. On average, real-world consumption is +47% compared to the WLTP value.
Consumption by Season
According to community data, the Tesla Model S consumes 3.9 mi/kWh in summer (May-Aug) and 3.7 mi/kWh in winter (Nov-Feb) - 7% more in winter.
