Someone's Managed Over 1000km On A Single Tesla Model S Charge

Tesla Owners Italia has beaten the previous record for the longest distance traveled by a Model S on a single charge, by travelling 1078km
Someone's Managed Over 1000km On A Single Tesla Model S Charge

Only a few weeks ago we learned that someone had managed to clock a colossal 900km (560 miles) in a Tesla Model S, but already, that record has been broken.

At the time, Tesla CEO Elon Musk suggested that over 1000km would be possible with the right tyres, and sure enough, Tesla Owners Italia has managed it. In fact, the Italian group smashed the 1000km mark, hitting 1078km, or 670 miles in old money.

Just like the 900km record set in Belgium a few weeks ago, this latest feat was done using a P100D, and a P100D traveling at a slow speed. The club hasn’t released much in the way of statistics for the run, but the trip computer shot above shows that the final 77km took over two hours to complete. Crunch the numbers, and you end up with an average speed of about 24mph.

Assuming the Model S averaged roughly 24mph throughout the run, it would have taken them about 28 hours to do. So, this isn’t exactly something Model S owners will be replicating in the real world, but it’s impressive nonetheless. And before too long, that kind of mileage might well be achievable in an electric car without having to crawl along at 24mph…

Fun fact. The longest petrol car has managed to travel on one tank is 1200km. And it’s the Insignia.

Diesel vehicles can reach greater distances on a single tank

Impressive! This is what happens once you start to drive a car really very carefully, it changes the perspective of what people think about cars. My dad’s old 230E for example managed nearly 40mpg the other week while cruising towards Peterborough, whereas if it had been driven faster, then we would’ve achieved significantly less.
Praise to these Tesla owners!

What about Jeremy achieving 800 plus miles on a single tank of gas in a TT Audi A8 or something? Thats a better feat.

You mean the episode of top gear where the three were told to drive 1000km and jeremy thought that wouldn’t be possible so he chose a jaguar limousine and still somehow made it? XD
James had a golf or skoda fabia or something along those lines and didn’t make it right? ^^

Now waiting for “someone managed to win a rev battle versus an Aventador in a Tesla” headline and I’m sold

My 320d can do 1000 km on one tank driving at 150 km/h (95 mph) with 4 people and a German Shepherd in the car. And luggage.

Our BMW X5 gets better fuel economy when driving 150 than 100 :D
