2018 TESLA MODEL S – THE ORIGINAL EV GAME CHANGER

EV Channels Review

The 2018 Tesla Model S 75D, while no longer the newest offering, remains a compelling flagship sedan, particularly for its enduring performance and practicality. The reviewer highlights the car's impressive acceleration, even in the base trim, and its comfortable, composed ride, enhanced by the standard air suspension. The hatchback design and generous cargo space, including a frunk, are praised for their utility. However, the interior, despite its premium materials, shows its age, with dated graphics and a less intuitive interface compared to newer models like the Model 3. Visibility is also noted as a drawback due to a high dashboard and narrow windshield. Real-world range testing yielded approximately 220 miles when charging to 90%, falling short of the advertised 259 miles but still competitive. The reviewer suggests that while the Model S still excels in acceleration and comfort, Tesla needs to address its aging interior, handling feedback, and visibility in future iterations.
