Overview

The 2025 Model S might not be Tesla’s best-selling car, but it is easily its most iconic. On sale since 2012, the Model S has seen two major face-lifts and hundreds of tweaks to its software over the years. Tesla hasn’t seen fit to redesign the Model S in more than a decade, likely because it’s been able to update the battery and electric motor technology around that aging body. As a result, the Model S feels about as up-to-date as much of its competition. You can expect a few software tweaks, but in terms of appearance, battery tech, power outputs and range estimates, we don’t see much change in the short term for the Model S. That said, we wouldn’t count Tesla out for anything.

Cost to Drive

Am I Ready for an EV?

EV ownership works best if you can charge (240V) at home or at work ^{This typically means a 240V home installation, but you could also have a similar setup at your office or other places your car is already parked for several hours each day. Don’t expect a regular household outlet (120V) to suffice unless you’ve got a plug-in hybrid, in which case overnight charging at home is feasible.}
If you can’t charge at home, charging at a charging station could take at least 10x longer than at a gas station ^{With public charging infrastructure still in its infancy, the user experience can be maddeningly inconsistent. Tesla owners tend to rave about the reliability and speed of the company’s proprietary Supercharger stations, but rival DC fast options have thus far been plagued by technical issues and overcrowding. It’s an evolving landscape and our best advice is to do your research on the available options for the EV you want to buy.}
Adding a 240V home charging system could cost up to $1,600 or more ^{If your existing electrical service can handle the additional demands of EV charging, you may be able to add Level 2 charging at home for less than a grand, including installation. But your costs will multiply if you need to upgrade your electrical panel or add a dedicated circuit.}

Edmunds spotlight: The Plaid’s a bargain

When it comes to speed, nothing delivers like an overpowered EV. When it launched, the Model S Plaid set the world into a spiral. Its acceleration figures were nothing short of sensational, and silly steering yoke aside, the Plaid was a huge leap forward for the Model S. Now a few years after its launch, the Model S Plaid faces off against high-power rivals from BMW’s M division, Mercedes’ AMG department and the Lucid Air Sapphire. Considering its lower price compared to these cars, the Plaid is a bona fide performance bargain.

Competitors to consider

The Model S has been around for a while, so it doesn’t exactly shy away from the competition that’s recently come its way. BMW has the i7, Lucid offers the Air, and Mercedes-Benz has the EQS. The BMW is significantly more luxurious, the Lucid is better to drive, and the Mercedes offers exceptional range. What you want likely comes down to what you desire from your EV experience, but there’s no denying that Tesla has been the pacesetter for the majority of its life. For our test team’s in-depth review, make sure to read the Edmunds Expert Rating below.

edmunds TESTED

The 2025 Tesla Model S Plaid is the Usain Bolt of the car world. Line it up at a drag strip and it’ll outsprint pretty much anything on the road today. The Model S’ hatchback practicality and access to Tesla’s Supercharger network are big pluses too. Unfortunately, the Model S also has some big drawbacks, such as a frustrating interface (the steering yoke, specifically) and disappointing fit and finish.

Rated for you by America’s best test team.

Performance

8/10

How does the Model S drive? The thrust and speed delivered by this tri-motor-powered sedan is nothing short of mind-bending. In Edmunds’ testing, the Model S Plaid rocketed from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.3 seconds and passed the quarter-mile mark in 9.4 seconds at 150.8 mph. This is the quickest vehicle Edmunds has ever tested by a good margin, surpassing the prior Model S Performance (2.9 seconds and 11.1 seconds, respectively) or sport coupes such as the Lamborghini Huracan Evo (2.8 seconds and 10.8 seconds, respectively). The Model S is also as easy to drive as a golf cart, albeit a 1,020-horsepower one.

You might know that Tesla claims 0-60 mph happens in just 1.99 seconds. The difference between our as-tested result and Tesla’s likely comes down to the testing surface and number crunching. We do our acceleration tests on regular pavement, not a prepared drag strip. We also publish acceleration without using the drag-racing 1-foot rollout. Applying that calculation would drop our tested 0-60 mph time down to 2.1 seconds.

We’re less impressed with the Plaid’s ability to stop and turn. While the powertrain will mostly retain its capability to catapult you to irresponsible speeds run after run, the brakes on our test car began to fade after slowing down from a few acceleration blasts. We ended up having to spend some significant time cooling down the brakes to ensure that they still worked. So from a safety standpoint, we lack some confidence in the Plaid’s stopping hardware.

Even more disappointing is the Plaid’s steering, which always feels too light and lacks a connection to the road. It’s exacerbated by the awkward steering yoke that doesn’t seem to serve any ergonomic function. The Plaid’s tri-motor setup supposedly provides some sort of rear-axle torque vectoring, but the handling feels more muscle car and than sports car. It’s not something that feels natural despite the loads of road grip provided by the sticky summer tires.

How comfortable is the Model S? The Model S Plaid’s world-beating speed doesn’t come at the expense of everyday comfort. This is a car you wouldn’t hesitate to take on a road trip, run errands or commute in. Ride comfort is commendable with the standard adaptive air suspension, even with the larger optional 21-inch wheels and their less cushy tire sidewalls. The climate control is tri-zone and works relatively well. The seat ventilation and heaters work well too.

But the seats themselves are nothing special. The cushions are decently soft but lack lateral support considering the Plaid’s performance potential, and the adjustments are pretty basic. The rear seatbacks feel a bit upright and the floor sits high so your knees sit closer to your chest than they would in most other luxury sedans. The absence of a gasoline powertrain means a lot less noise entering the cabin, but there is some that comes from the electric motors, and some to a lesser degree from the road and the wind.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? This is one of the few areas where Tesla has taken a step back with the latest Model S. The controversial steering yoke is the largest pain point here, and the decision to remove the traditional column stalks and replace them with touch-sensitive buttons has
