Vehicle Type Early adopters and EV fans found this to be a highly compelling choice, despite the big-dollar ask when new. Electric full-size sedan History/Description The Tesla Model S began production over six years ago and has since become a regular sight on Canadian roadways. A pure electric vehicle (EV), the model S has no gas

Without a doubt, one of the most common questions I get asked, when people find out what I do, is: “Have you driven a Tesla?” For what felt like forever, I would answer with a hangdog expression and bitter disappointment in the negative. Well, Tesla has cured me. It was also Consumer Reports Best Car Ever Tested. I’m not sure if that’s a r

While we haven't yet seen the debut of the entry level Tesla Model 3, Tesla has recently launched an even smaller model aimed at the first time driver. Designed in conjunction with Radio Flyer, this is a Model S for kids. At just 115 centimetres long and 71 centimetres wide, the Model S for Kids is sized right for the sidewalk. It lacks featur

Tesla continues to up the ante in the electric vehicle space and has debuted the new Model S Long Range Plus with 647 kilometres of range. That range is a 20 per cent increase over the Model S 100D it replaces and this new model now leads the mainstream and mass-produced electric vehicle market for having the highest range. Tesla says it was

That might be about to change thanks to Sacha Baron Cohen's upcoming flick, The Brothers Grimsby . The film casts Cohen as a dim

Some new details have leaked about the Tesla Model 3, and while they give us a better look at Tesla's newest model, the intent of the information leaked on cargo space, acceleration, and availability might well be to drive sales of the current Model S. The new information comes from Trevor Page, founder of the Model 3 owner's club forum. Page p

Editor’s note: the Tesla Model S loaned to autoTRADER.ca for this review was provided by Porsche Canada for a comparative analysis alongside the Taycan 4S . While unconventional for an automaker to loan a competitor product to members of the media, it was deemed appropriate given Tesla does not provide access to its vehicles for evaluation. T

Electric car maker Telsa has volunteered to pay for damages to a Model S that occurred earlier this week when an owner used their car as a bumper to save a life. According to German newspaper Muenchner Merkur , the driver of the Tesla Model S was driving on the A9 Autobahn near Garching, Germany, just north of Munich. He saw a car moving erra

Last night during an investor call, Tesla announced a refreshed version of its Model S sedan and Model X crossover, offering new interiors, more performance, more range for the Model S, and a steering wheel that is either fully awesome or half missing depending on your point of view. The flagship of the updates for the Model S is the new Plaid

In what has to be one of the most low-key announcements ever to come from the company, Tesla has just made a very significant change to the Model S sedan and Model X crossover. A range increase of about 10 percent, without an increase in battery size. While Tesla announcements are often presented to big fanfare and even more hype, this one came

By now you’ve heard about “insane mode”, you know about “slip start” and you probably know all about the insane horsepower and torque figures. You know the ones, big eye-catching numbers like “691 hp” (wow), “686 lb-ft” (oh, my) and “0–100 in 3.2 seconds” (holy snapping duck poop!). If you like cars, or even just Teslas, you’ll know about the 22

Tesla may finally have a worthy competitor to its Model S electric sedan in the way of the new Porsche Taycan – which recently debuted to much fanfare after a lengthy teaser campaign from the German sportscar manufacturer. The Taycan, which “marks the start of a new era” for Porsche, according to company CEO Oliver Blume, is a four-door, fou

Electric car manufacturer Tesla has recalled more than 53,000 examples of its Model S sedan and Model X crossover globally to fix parking brakes that could get stuck in the engaged position. Tesla says the electric parking brake mechanism contains a small gear that was poorly manufactured, a flaw it blames on the supplier of that part. The good

With the Model S P100D, Tesla has moved the bar from Ludicrous mode to full-on plaid. Their claim for the new model is a 0–100 km/h time of 2.5 seconds. Tesla claims that this is the third-fastest-accelerating production car ever produced, and it's the only one that is on sale now. The two faster cars are the Porsche 918 Spyder and the Ferrari LaFe

Porsche showed off its all-new Taycan 4S sedan at the 2019 LA Auto Show to much fanfare, but little surprise – the company released pricing and performance specs back in October. That’s not to say it isn’t a significant launch – Porsche’s newest version of its ground-breaking Taycan EV is clearly the closest in price yet to that of its one true m
