Tesla does not publish battery capacities, so the kWh figures here are independent estimates and the times are close rather than exact. The columns are an 85 at roughly 80.8 kWh usable and a 100 at about 95. Quoted ranges moved from 502 km NEDC on the early cars to 388 miles WLTP on the Raven and 649 km WLTP on the 2023 car, so compare like with like before reading much into them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich length to buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTesla puts the port on the left side of the body, behind a flap in the tail light, on every Model S.

That is only relevant to a cable buyer because it makes a boot search more likely to come up empty: leads get separated from these cars over three or four owners, and a replacement is the cheapest part of ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow these cables are built\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade to IEC 62196-2, CE marked, and rated IP55 from -30C to +50C so it lives outdoors all year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt carries a two year manufacturer's warranty, ships free on next working day delivery, and can go back inside 30 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"evp-see-also\"\u003eRelated: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tesla-model-3-ev-charging-cable\"\u003eTesla Model 3 EV Charging Cable\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tesla-ev-charging-cables\"\u003eTesla charging cables\u003c\/a\u003e for every other model we cover.
