The Tesla Model S is a full-size electric luxury sedan model produced and sold by Tesla (formerly Tesla Motors Inc.). It is Tesla’s flagship model and is sized and priced above the Tesla Model 3 compact electric luxury sedan.
Premiering after the first generation of the Tesla Roadster, the Model S was first developed under the name WhiteStar, with a prototype debuting at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany. Production then began in 2011, and the first Model S cars were delivered in 2012.
Although now supplanted in popularity by the more compact and affordable Tesla Model 3, the Tesla Model S reigned supreme for several years as the only Tesla sedan and an award-winning EV, raking in numerous accolades and titles for its performance, charging capabilities, and eco-friendliness. However, the vehicle has won more recent recognition for the Model S Plaid, a long-range and high-performance version with a plaid interior named after the movie Spaceballs. Other electric competitors of the Model S include the Audi e-tron, the Lucid Air, the Mercedes-Benz EQS, and the Porsche Taycan.
