2026 Tesla Model S review
Tesla Model S: everyday electric done right. Illustrative review
8.7/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Tesla Model S sits near the top of its class. Comfortable front seats on long trips; efficient in mixed driving. Rear headroom is tight for tall passengers and some features locked to upper trims, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $85,000, it costs more than most direct rivals.

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the fuel economy still impresses passengers.
The fuel economy is the standout. My only gripe is road noise on the highway, which I knew going in.
