Tesla delivered the first flagship Model S sedans in Australia at the end of 2014 and their last six years later in 2020. Since then, Tesla decided to stop making the Model S in right-hand drive so Australia missed out on updated versions with upgraded interiors and the flagship Plaid variant. Between 2014 and 2020 there were many different variants on sale including single motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive.
Earlier model years included the drivetrain and battery size in their name, for example P90D is a Performance dual-motor model with 90 kWh battery pack. The most recent versions were simply named Long Range or Performance, similar to how Tesla names the Model 3 and Model Y. Model S Performance variants features Ludicrous mode which can accelerate the vehicle from 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds.
| Variant | Starting price | Driving range | Battery size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tesla Model S Long Range | $117920 | 652Km | 100Kwh |
| Tesla Model S Performance | $155430 | 639Km | 100Kwh |
