Tesla Model S News

The first electric car to claim a 400-mile EPA range rating is the 2020 Tesla Model S Long Range Plus.

Has Tesla already been delivering vehicles that hit the magic 400-mile range mark?

The Model S Long Range Plus nudges even closer to the 400 miles CEO Elon Musk has suggested is in the near future.

Tesla also alleges that the petition claiming an alarmingly high rate of such reports was brought on by a short-seller of the company's stock.
