Overview

Tesla Model S 85 2013 overview

Official EPA range is 265 mi, with 80.8 kWh usable battery, DC up to 120 kW (NACS) and typical 10-80% stops near 36 min (est.). Tesla Model S 85 2013 is an electric sedan with RWD and 5 seats.

Real-world estimate (BEVDB model, est.): 175 miles (cold highway) and 350 miles (mild city). A 10-minute DC top-up (est.) adds 66 miles. Combined efficiency is 89 MPGe, or about 38 kWh/100 mi.

Well-suited to commuting and occasional longer trips. Battery preconditioning supports navigation-based routing.

Real Range

City - Mild Weather	350 miles
City - Cold Weather	245 miles
Highway - Mild Weather	222 miles
Highway - Cold Weather	175 miles

Estimates of actual range. The values given here are BEVDB estimates calculated from EPA data and usable battery capacity, based on the BEVDB model. The BEVDB real-range card uses four fixed reference scenarios: City (Mild), Highway (Mild), City (Cold), and Highway (Cold). Mild means +20°C (70°F) without intensive climate-control use; cold means -10°C (14°F) with cabin heating. City speed is 50 km/h (30 mph), and highway speed is 110 km/h (70 mph). These figures are not official test results. Actual range will vary depending on speed, temperature, road conditions, road profile, load, tires, and driving style.

Estimated charging times are based on usable battery capacity, charging power and vehicle charging limits. Peak DC power is usually reached only briefly; average 10–80% power is more useful for estimating real charging time. Actual charging speed can vary by charger output, battery temperature, state of charge, weather, software and battery condition.

Energy Consumption

BEVDB model

Combined real range (estimate)	256.6 miles
Combined Energy Use (estimate)	31.3 kWh/100 mi

BEVDB estimates use EPA-rated (or derived) consumption and usable battery capacity to model city/highway ranges; the combined value is a weighted mix of city/highway and mild/cold scenarios. See the methodology and data sources for inputs, official source boundaries, fallback rules, and versioning.
