Cargo Capacity: which has more space?
Standard and largest cargo capacity
A direct comparison between the 2024 Ford Puma’s 456 L (VDA) and the 2013 Tesla Model S’s 745 L (SAE) cargo capacity isn't possible due to different measurement methods, but the 2024 Ford Puma is average for its class. The 2013 Tesla Model S is way above average for its class. The 2024 Ford Puma (1,216 L) and 2013 Tesla Model S (1,645 L) use non-compatible measurement standards to compare against each other, but we can look at them in relation to cargo space vs their categories. The 2024 Ford Puma has way above average room for its class, and the 2013 Tesla Model S has way above average room for its class.
