The 2024 Tesla Model S flagship model was recently listed on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website, revealing its official range and energy consumption ratings.
There are two versions of the Tesla Model S on the market: the base Long Range all-wheel drive (AWD) and the tri-motor Plaid version, both equipped with 19-inch or 21-inch wheels.
Tesla was the first truly long-range all-electric car on the market when it was launched in 2012. Its original EPA Combined range rating was 265 miles, using an 85-kWh battery. The 2024 model year version has about 100-kWh battery and a range of up to 402 miles.
The 2024 model year brought a decrease in the EPA Combined range ratings due to the EPA''s new methodology, which affected all EVs.
In 2022-2023, the Model S Long Range AWD with 19-inch wheels had 405 miles of EPA Combined range, while the Plaid had up to 396 miles. The updated EPA methodology—which draws average energy consumption from best- and worst-case drive modes instead of using the default driving mode—has brought some of the numbers down.
The Plaid version with 19-inch wheels has 359 miles of range (320 miles with optional 21-inch wheels).
There is a big difference between the base and top configuration:
The 2024 Tesla Model S LR AWD with 19-inch wheels'' energy consumption, including charging losses, is estimated at 122 MPGe, or about 276 watt-hours per mile (3.6 miles/kWh).
The Plaid versions consume a lot more energy. The 19-inch version is rated at 107 MPGe: 315 Wh/mi or 3.2 miles/kWh, while the 21-inch version at just 96 MPGe: 351 Wh/mi or 2.8 miles/kWh.
Let''s note that the highway MPGe ratings are slightly lower than the combined values. We can estimate that the Long Range AWD version will have 20 miles less range on the highway. However, this is only a rough estimate because the MPGe number includes charging losses.
Here is a simple comparison of all main configurations:
* EPA range according to Tesla''s website; acceleration with rollout subtracted
The Tesla Model S starts at $74,630 (including $1,640 in obligatory fees). The prices exceeded the $55,000 price cap for the $7,500 federal tax credit and none of the versions qualified for the incentive.
* Tesla adds a Destination Fee (DST) of $1,390 and an Order Fee of $250 to all its models ($1,640 total).

The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E lineup was recently listed on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website, revealing range and energy consumption numbers.
According to the data, the latest model has a bit more driving range and is more efficient than the previous model year. We also noted that the 2024 version is quicker than ever.
The Ford Mustang Mach-E is one of the most popular all-electric cars in the U.S. with more than 126,000 units sold between December 2020 and May 2024.
The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E has two battery options—72 kilowatt-hours and 91 kWh of net capacity. The list of powertrain options includes regular single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor, all-wheel drive, as well as a few performance-oriented types (GT and Rally).
Let''s start with the entry-level 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E with a Standard Range (SR) LFP battery (72 kWh). The RWD version has an EPA Combined range of 250 miles, the same as the 2023 model-year version. The previous year, the car had 247 miles of EPA range, using a different NCM battery (70 kWh net).
Meanwhile, the AWD version with the LFP battery was listed for the first time. It has 230 miles of EPA range. The previous version with NCM battery was rated at 224 miles, so there is a slight change.
The Extended Range (ER) battery option, 91 kWh of net capacity, increases the range substantially, up to 320 miles. That''s a 70-mile or 28% increase compared to the SR battery.
Finally, there are performance-oriented versions of the Ford Mustang Mach-E: GT and Rally. The GT has 280 miles of range, 10 miles more than previously. However, there is no info about the GT Performance version. The all-new Rally version has 265 miles of EPA range.
* Battery packs: SR—Standard Range, ER—Extended Range
EPA energy consumption (Combined) of the regular 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E with the default 19-inch wheels varies between 318 and 370 watt-hours per mile (2.7-3.1 miles/kWh), including charging losses. The performance version consumes more electricity, up to 392 Wh/mi (2.6 miles/kWh).
Interestingly, the Standard Range battery versions consume more electricity than the Extended Range versions.
Here are the detailed results:
The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E SR RWD with 19-inch wheels consumes roughly a tenth more energy, including charging losses, than the AWD version, which is estimated at 102 MPGe or about 330 watt-hours per mile (3.0 miles/kWh).
The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E ER RWD with 19-inch wheels consumes roughly 7% more energy, including charging losses, than the AWD version, which is estimated at 106 MPGe or about 318 watt-hours per mile (3.1 miles/kWh).
According to the EPA, both versions are noticeably more efficient than before. A difference of several percent is difficult to explain, considering only a slight increase in range of 10 miles. It might be related to more efficient charging.
