Design
Minimal slab-sided crossover, refreshed in 2025 with a full-width light bar and a calmer, quieter cabin.
Driving
Long Range models prioritise efficiency and ride; the Performance adds adaptive damping and 0-60 in 3.3s.
Engineering
Large single-piece castings, heat-pump HVAC and Tesla's in-house software stack define the platform.
Ownership
Supercharger network access and over-the-air updates remain the strongest ownership arguments.
Legacy
Proved an EV could be a mass-market best-seller rather than a niche choice.
