2020 Tesla Model S
The car that changed expectations
Model S means something particular to us. Before Model 3 and Model Y dominated Tesla’s sales, Model S was the car showing the world what Tesla could become. Fast, long range, software-led, minimal, different.
By 2020 it had already been evolving for years, which makes identifying exactly which Model S you are looking at especially important.
What we checked on this Model S
Model S rewards knowing exactly which car you are looking at, so the checks start with configuration.
- Which pack configuration the car carries, and any replacement history
- Hardware and infotainment generation
- Air suspension operation and history
- Door handle operation on presenting handles
- Battery warranty position against age and mileage
- Wheel fitment and tyre condition
- Any transferable Supercharging position
- Service and repair documentation
Why this one is interesting
The context a generic valuation has no field for.
Model S has changed substantially across its life — battery configurations, motors, hardware generations, infotainment, interiors, exterior details and even the names on the boot lid.
That is precisely why older and middle-generation cars need context. A Model S should never be reduced to “Tesla saloon, 2020”. Our guide to every Tesla variant exists for this reason.
From the founder
Model S is one of the most important cars in the Tesla journey. It made people look at electric cars differently.
Suddenly electric could mean seriously quick, desirable, technologically advanced and genuinely exciting. I still think Model S has an incredible presence.
When we buy one, I want us to understand exactly which Model S it is, because the history of this model is full of changes.
Another piece of Model S history
We established which Model S this actually was before talking about value, which on this model is most of the work.
Another Model S became part of the WeBuyTeslas story. If you own one, we would like to take a proper look at it — see selling your Model S, or start with how a valuation is built.
