This 2016 Model S P90D is still on its original battery and electric motors. How far can it go?
When new, the 2016 Tesla Model S 90D had an NEDC-rated range of 346 miles and an EPA-rated range of 294 miles on a full charge. This made it the longest-range EV of its time, but how much travel distance can it still squeeze out of its original 90-kWh battery after being driven a whopping 430,000 miles? Well, the video embedded at the top of this page, published on YouTube by AutoTrader, answers the question with help from former Top Gear host Rory Reid.
With 214 miles of estimated range on the car’s screen and a planned trip of exactly 200 miles, Rory Reid set off on the highway with no intention of hypermiling the EV. Instead, he said he would drive at around 70 mph and doesn't hesitate to overtake other cars on the speediest of lanes. In theory, the journey should have been easy.
