Tesla Model S goes 647 Km(400 miles)
There are
EV's(Electric Vehicles) in the market which can travel 200 miles plus in a
single charge but Tesla has gone a bit or to be more accurate "400 plus
miles" far with it's latest Model S EV. Yes, the new Model S can go as far
as 400 miles in a single charge. And it has become the first-ever car to do so.
That's crazy and only Tesla can do it.
In a
statement on its official website, Tesla said, "Starting today, all North
American Model S Long Range Plus vehicles have an official EPA-rated range of
402 miles, representing a nearly 20% increase in range when compared to a 2019
Model S 100D with the same battery pack design."

Mistake in EPA's Test
During the
first-quarter corporate earnings call in April, Musk said that the Environment
Protection Agency(EPA) had made a mistake when it originally tested the Model S
Long Range Plus premium sedan. He said the EPA left the car door open and the
keys in the car overnight, putting the vehicle in waiting-for-driver mode. Musk
said the action lost 2% of the vehicle's range.
