Frequently asked questions

How many charging stops on Paris → Lyon in a Tesla Model S Performance?+
The Tesla Model S Performance needs 1 stop on Paris → Lyon (465 km at 130 km/h), for a total time of 4h18.
What is the real motorway consumption of the Tesla Model S Performance?+
WLTP consumption does not reflect motorway reality. At 130 km/h, aerodynamic drag raises consumption by 15 to 25 %. Caralogy calculates a specific consumption from the aerodynamic profile (SCx), weight and engine efficiency.
How much does Tesla Model S Performance cost in a Paris → Lyon?+
On the Paris → Lyon (465 km) trip, the energy used by the Tesla Model S Performance costs 21.29 € at default rates (home 0.20 €/kWh, fast charger 0.60 €/kWh). The energy bought at the charger may be higher: what remains in the battery on arrival is not counted.
What is the real motorway range of the Tesla Model S Performance?+
The Tesla Model S Performance is rated at 593 km WLTP, but can count on around 488 km at 130 km/h. This figure determines the number of charging stops.
