For 2022, there are two variations for the Tesla Model S:

• Model S — $101,440 MSRP
• Model S Plaid — $137,940 MSRP

Either model offers excellent specs for acceleration and range. But if you're after the ultimate driving performance, the Plaid edition delivers extra flair and accommodation with its three electric motors. 

When you're in the market for a used electric car like a Tesla, finding one in great shape can be a hassle. Driving around town and looking at different vehicles is time-consuming and may not be productive. And how can you know a pre-owned electric car isn't hiding mechanical issues?

And stressful negotiating can take the fun out of purchasing a new car. But when you buy an electric vehicle from Shift, you don't have to worry about any of that.

Either trim level of the Model S features excellent horsepower, acceleration, and driving range.

The Model S Long Range uses two electric motors — one on each axle — producing 670 horsepower. That translates to a brisk 0-60 time of 3.1 seconds, matching many supercars.

The Tesla Model S Plaid takes electric vehicle performance to new levels with its three electric motors that make 1,020 horsepower and all-wheel drive that propel it to 60 mph in 2.1 seconds. 

Both the standard Model S and Plaid offer precise, comfortable handling whether you're on a spirited drive or a highway cruise. Tesla allows drivers to choose between two steering settings for a light or heavy feel.

The Tesla Model S offers excellent driver-assistance features and crash-test ratings for safety and security while driving.

Autopilot, blind-spot monitoring and automatic emergency braking (AEB) come standard, with optional adaptive cruise control (ACC).

Both versions of the Model S offer excellent range and convenient charging times.

The Model S's battery pack lasts for 412 miles, while the Plaid model is good for 390 miles of range. That translates into an EPA-rated fuel economy of 120 MPGe combined for the Model S and 116 MPGe for the Plaid. 

The charging time for a Tesla Model S depends on the system used.

With a standard NEMA 5-15 household outlet, each hour of charging time yields three miles of driving. The more powerful NEMA 14-50 outlets take 17-18 hours to charge a Tesla Model S.

Tesla also offers professionally installed wall connectors that recharge your Model S in about nine hours for the fastest home charging. But when you connect to the many Tesla Supercharger locations across the country, you can receive a full charge in only 30 minutes.

The Tesla Model S has a sleek and modern interior, with styling unlike anything else.

The infotainment system uses a 17-inch touchscreen, and the instruments are fully digital. A yoke-style steering wheel looks equal parts racecar and spaceship, adding to the futuristic vibe.

In 2022, Tesla updated the touchscreen with higher resolution for vivid images and colors. Also, a new user interface features adjustable settings for many systems like steering, suspension, pedals, climate control, lighting, and charging.  

Four wireless charging slots ensure you and your passengers' phones remain fully charged. And with its built-in Wi-Fi, you're always connected when driving the Model S. 

The Tesla Model S features a 22-speaker sound system that transforms the interior into a mini-concert hall so that you can hear every note of your favorite songs. 

Trims made of wood and carbon fiber have an elegant, refined appearance, and passengers now have their own display. 

The Tesla Model S has 26 cubic feet of trunk space, with plenty of room for a grocery run or luggage for a weekend getaway.

A longtime market leader in electric vehicles, Tesla continues that tradition with the 2022 Model S.

The Model S leads the pack for upscale electric sedans with groundbreaking style and technology. 

The base dual-motor Model S model has plenty of power. But for those in search of ultimate performance, the Plaid edition's tri-motor powertrain offers impressive horsepower, acceleration, and a top speed that bests many sports cars. 

Either trim’s range is good for just about any trip, with the Model S lasting 412 miles and the Plaid 390 miles. 

And when you own a Tesla, you have an array of charging options like a home outlet, wall connector, or the company's excellent Supercharger network located across the country. 

The interior of the Tesla Model S is sophisticated and comfortable, with digital gauges, a sizable center-mounted touchscreen, a yoke-style steering wheel, and elegant trim materials.

The Model S also offers utility to go along with its style, featuring a generously sized trunk with 26 cubic feet of cargo space.
