Caralogy Methodology
Performance (0-100, top speed) simulated by the Caralogy physics engine (SCx, Crr, real torque curves). Motorway consumption values estimated from the manufacturer WLTP cycle.

Among the 4 grand tourers electric, the Model S Performance ranks in WLTP range. Caralogy simulates its real-world behaviour: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.
Tailored to this vehicle?
Long daily commute (>50 km/day) without range anxiety. DC charge power (250 kW), 0–100 km/h (2.5 s).
Regular family use with bulky luggage. The space and boot are sport-calibrated, not utility. A sedan or SUV from the same manufacturer would be more practical daily.
If the priority is WLTP range, the Tesla Model S Long Range (1st with 652 km) takes the lead. If the priority is DC charge power, the Tesla Model S Long Range (1st with 250 kW) takes the lead.
Real-world range: 593 km WLTP (WLTP range)
The Model S Performance offers 593 km of WLTP range. The segment reference is the Tesla Model S Long Range (652 km).
Charging: 250 kW DC (DC charge power)
The Model S Performance accepts up to 250 kW DC fast charging. The segment reference is the Tesla Model S Long Range (250 kW).

Tesla Model S Performance: what you need to know
Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.
Where does the Model S Performance rank in its segment?
Among the 4 grand tourers electric 2017–2021, the Model S Performance ranks WLTP range (593 km, behind the Tesla Model S Long Range), DC charge power (250 kW, behind the Tesla Model S Long Range), 0–100 km/h (2.5 s, behind the Tesla Model S Plaid).
What is the WLTP range of the Model S Performance?
593 km WLTP announced - making it the autonomie du segment out of 4 models. The reference is the Tesla Model S Long Range (652 km).
How much does the Model S Performance cost to run?
Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.
Why not a Tesla Model S Long Range instead?
The Tesla Model S Long Range leads in WLTP range (652 km vs 593 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Model S Performance vs Tesla Model S Long Range duel for a detailed comparison.
How does Caralogy calculate its figures?
Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
