Summary

The Tesla Model S 85 is a 5-seat liftback with rear-wheel drive, sold new from 2013 to 2016, when it cost £62,680 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.6 seconds, quicker than 62% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 252 miles (405 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 47% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 35th of 38 liftbacks.

It uses around 3.1 mi/kWh (199 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 80.75 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 95 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 254 miles (408 km) at motorway speeds.

No heat pump is listed for this version, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L).

Second-hand, a 2013 example is estimated at £4,700–£9,200 and a 2016 one at £7,600–£12,600, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2013 car should still manage about 193 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
