Tesla Model S LR

1. Body Style and Size Segment
The Model S LR is a full-size, five-passenger liftback sedan. Its dimensions are approximately 5,021 mm (length), 1,987 mm (width without mirrors), and 1,431 mm (height), with a wheelbase of 2,960 mm.
2. Platform Architecture, Voltage, Range & Efficiency
Built on Tesla’s dedicated EV platform, the Model S LR utilizes a 400V architecture. It features an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) dual-motor setup. With a 100 kWh battery, the estimated WLTP range is around 650-660 km, with efficient energy consumption around 192 Wh/km. DC fast charging can reach up to 250 kW.
3. Technical Capabilities
The Model S LR comes standard with Tesla’s Autopilot, offering adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability (supervised) is an optional upgrade, including features like Navigate on Autopilot, automatic lane changes, and Summon. Recent updates have also brought features like adaptive high beams and blind spot camera views.
4. Interior Quality and Storage Capacity
The interior features a minimalist design centered around a large 17-inch touchscreen. While perceived quality has improved, some competitors offer more traditional luxury finishes. Storage is a strong point, with a large rear cargo area (709 liters, expanding to 1,828 liters with seats folded) and an 89-liter front trunk (frunk).
5. App Functionality
The Tesla mobile app provides extensive remote control features, including charging management, climate control, vehicle location, and keyless entry. It also serves as a hub for software updates, service scheduling, and even in-car entertainment controls.
6. 3 Pros and 3 Cons
Pros:
- Exceptional range and access to the extensive Supercharger network.
- Blistering acceleration and dynamic performance.
- Cutting-edge technology and over-the-air software updates.
Cons:
- Minimalist interior may lack the tactile luxury of some rivals.

7. Overall Summary
The 2025 Tesla Model S LR continues to be a benchmark for range and performance in the luxury EV sedan segment. While competitors like the Lucid Air offer more range and the Porsche Taycan focuses on driving dynamics, the Model S’s combination of range, acceleration, extensive charging infrastructure, and evolving software keeps it highly competitive. It prioritizes a tech-forward driving experience.
