Details

Doors, seats, weight, maneuverability

There is no difference in door count here, as both vehicles utilise a 4-door layout. You’ll find the same passenger limits in both models, as they each feature a 5-seat interior layout. The 2013 Tesla Model S is the slightly nimbler of the two when pulling a U-turn, though by a very narrow 0.1 m margin. The 434 kg weight gap will have a major impact on fuel consumption and overall driving dynamics.
