2019 Tesla Model S

For 2019, Tesla has simplified the Model S lineup, dropping the 75D, 100D and P100D in favor of just Standard, Long Range and Performance. All models get a boost in range without changing the battery size or power output. The enhanced autopilot upgrade gets more features that will be added later in 2019.  See the 2019 Tesla Model S models for sale near you

We think most people will be quite happy with the Standard model, but we would equip it with the enhanced self-driving autopilot feature that only adds an additional $5,000. If maximum range is important, stepping up to the Long Range make sense, but does it make $10,000 worth of sense? That's your call. Those with money burning holes in their pockets (and a need for speed) should settle for nothing less than a fully loaded Performance with the Ludicrous Mode option. Find a Tesla Model S for sale

The 2019 Model S comes in three trims: Standard, Long Range and Performance. Pricing on the window is firm, but some states are offering tax credits for electric vehicles, so depending on where you live, you may be able to shave a few thousand off the bottom line. The $7,500 federal tax credit for the Model S no longer applies as Tesla has now sold more than 200,000 electric cars. The tax credit for the first half of 2019 shrinks to $3,750, and then again to $1,875 in the second half of the year. The Model S ($78,000) includes full-time all-wheel drive (AWD), forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, side-collision warning, lane-departure warning, 11-speaker audio, satellite radio, cruise control, keyless ignition and entry, 12-way power driver and passenger seats, heated front and rear seats, a heated tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, auto headlights, 17-in touchscreen control pad, mobile app remote control, navigation, a rear backup camera, heated side mirrors, fog lights, adaptive LED headlights, a fixed glass panel roof, 19-in wheels, faux leather seating and an 8-year/unlimited battery warranty. Optional on the Model S is a $5,000 autopilot upgrade that allows the car to navigate itself, auto lane change, auto park and summon itself. Later in the year, the system will recognize and respond to stop signs and traffic lights, as well as drive itself in city traffic. This system also includes a fully self-driving computer that can be upgraded as laws and regulations change to allow for fully autonomous driving. Other options include carbon fiber interior trim and 20-in wheel upgrades. The Model S Long Range ($88,000) adds a longer driving range (370 miles) and a slightly faster 0-to-60 mph time (3.7 seconds versus 4.0 seconds). The Model S Performance ($99,000) brings a slightly lower range (345 miles) and a 0-to-60 mph time of 3 seconds. For an additional $20,000, buyers can opt for Ludicrous mode that makes the Model S even faster.
