Tesla Model S

The Tesla Model S is a large electric liftback that helped define the modern luxury EV, combining a sleek low-slung body with quiet, smooth electric performance. It is no longer sold new in Australia, where Tesla’s local lineup is now focused on the Model 3 sedan and Model Y SUV, but it remains a notable used-market option for buyers wanting space, range and strong acceleration in a premium EV. Its hatchback layout gives it more practicality than a conventional sedan, while its big-battery variants made longer-distance electric driving more realistic than many early alternatives. Performance versions are best known for huge straight-line speed, though the Model S also appeals as a refined family or executive car with over-the-air software capability and a minimalist cabin.
