Full 2014 Tesla Model S Review

What's New for 2014


There are no major changes to the 2014 Tesla Model S, but Tesla favors running changes throughout the year rather than annual updates. Most recently, the company physically fortified the underbody of the Model S and released the latest over-the-air software update. Both changes are standard for 2014 and will be made to existing Model S sedans as part of their regularly scheduled maintenance. A covered center storage bin is one new feature coming out for this year.

Introduction

"Sleek," "desirable," "luxurious," "powerful" and "inspiring" are all words that one typically uses to describe the latest European luxury sedan. But in this case, they also describe America's latest and best homegrown electric vehicle, the 2014 Tesla Model S. With its luxury sedan accommodations, pulse-quickening performance, world-class handling and unmatched range, the Model S is a huge departure from the typical electric car. Yet thanks to a thoroughly modern interpretation of interior design and a host of advanced technological features (including a rapidly expanding Supercharger network), the Model S also serves as a new benchmark for all vehicles, electric or otherwise.
Despite these many virtues, the Tesla Model S is not exclusive to the ultra-wealthy. Pricing for the base model starts around $70,000 when new, and that's not including a federal tax credit. While this isn't exactly chump change, the base model's EPA-estimated range of 208 miles is more than double that of any other electric vehicle. To get the most out of your Model S ownership, though, we'd recommend the bigger (and more expensive) 85 kWh battery pack, which provides greater performance and an estimated 265 miles of range.
