  • Up to 332 miles of EPA range despite the extra size
  • Available in the US since July 2026

What to know before you buy

  1. Tesla prices and delivery estimates change often — confirm both on Tesla's site before deciding.
  2. The Supercharger network remains Tesla's biggest ownership advantage on road trips.
  3. Check federal and state EV incentives in your area; they can change the effective price significantly.
  4. Test-drive before ordering: seating comfort and the touchscreen-everything interface are polarizing.
