A Tesla vehicle's weight varies significantly depending on the model and trim. Here is a breakdown of typical curb weights for common Tesla models:
- Tesla Model X: The heaviest Tesla, with the Long Range version weighing around 5,185 pounds and the Plaid version about 5,390 pounds.
- Tesla Model S: Weighs between approximately 4,560 to 4,766 pounds depending on the trim.
- Tesla Model Y: Weighs around 4,381 to 4,416 pounds.
- Tesla Model 3: The lightest mainstream model, ranging from about 3,582 pounds for the Standard Range to about 4,065 pounds for the Long Range and Performance versions.
- Tesla Roadster: The lightest Tesla overall at about 2,723 pounds.
The weight is primarily due to the large lithium-ion battery packs, which can weigh over 1,000 pounds, along with electric motors and safety features such as reinforced frames and underbody shields. The weight impacts performance and driving dynamics but is managed through advanced engineering to maintain efficiency and agility.
