2012 Tesla Model S Price

2012 Tesla Model S Price,Tesla ’s Model S EV is nearly a year off, but the advanced propulsion upstart has already given would-be buyers a reason to whet their appetites – and not just because our spiesnabbed it out testing on public streets earlier this year.

Today, Tesla confirmed that the Model S will list from $49,900 for the 40 kWh variant after a $7,500 federal incentive in the United States. From there, the price increases to $59,900 for the 60 kWh and $69,900 for the 85 kWh.

That means that Model S will be available in three basic battery flavors – 40, 60 and 85 kWh, each of which will give it a range of 160, 230 and 300 miles, respectively.

Performance enthusiasts will want to step up to the Model S Performance at $79,900, which adds the 85 kWh battery, as well as a high performance drive inverter and carbon fiber exterior accents. For $5,000 on top of that, buyers can add a Nappa leather and Alcantara leather interior, an air suspension with sport-tuned traction control and unique 21-inch alloy wheels and tires.

Other options for all models include a glass panoramic roof ($1,500), aerodynamic wheels ($1,500), metallic paint ($750), a Tech package with navigation, a backup camera, HID headlamps and a few other goodies ($3,750) and a 580-watt audio system ($950).

Twin chargers ($1,500) and a high power wall unit ($1,200) allow for a faster charging process.

For those truly intent on making the most of their Model S experience, a range-topping Signature trim level starts at $87,900 and adds a few appearance upgrades. A Signature Performance model – at $97,900 – is by far the most expensive Model S, but it is both the fastest and most exclusive. The Signature models are the first Model Ss to go on sale and they’re limited to just 1,000 examples.
