The Tesla Model S reshaped expectations of the modern performance sedan, proving that an electric vehicle could be luxurious, practical and genuinely thrilling. First launched in 2012, it quickly became a benchmark for long range EV motoring, with later variants offering astonishing acceleration, all-wheel drive traction and advanced battery technology. The famous Model S Plaid pushed the car into supercar territory, recording 0-100 km/h times that embarrassed many petrol-powered icons, while still seating five adults and carrying luggage in both rear boot and front “frunk”.

Its significance goes beyond speed. The Model S helped make over-the-air software updates mainstream in cars, meaning features, performance changes and interface improvements could arrive without a workshop visit. Its large central touchscreen influenced interior design across the industry, while its role in popularising EVs gave it genuine cultural importance. Anecdotally, it became a favourite among tech leaders, early adopters and environmentally minded enthusiasts who still wanted premium performance.

Popular upgrades include floor mats, boot liners, car covers, wiper blades, cleaning products, charging accessories, storage solutions and exterior protection items.
