Tesla has taken a break from releasing ever-faster
variants Model S and Model X and launched the 100D variants of both models. Lacking
the ‘P’ (Performance) of the previously-released Model S and Model X
range-toppers, the 100D focuses less on straight line acceleration and more on
range.
With that in mind, its EPA-estimated range sits at 539 km, marginally greater than the 506 km range of the
P100D, thus giving the Model S 100D the longest range of any production EV.
Despite lacking the P badge, the Model S 100D is
still blisteringly quick, capable of hitting 96 km/h in a mere 4.2
seconds. Prices for the Tesla Model S 100D are also significantly cheaper than
the P100D starting at US$ 95,000 compared to the US$ 130,000+ starting price of a
P100D. As for the Model X 100D, its all-electric range sits at 474
km.
