The Tesla Model S is a four-door, battery-electric sedan car[6] manufactured by the American automaker Tesla. Designed by Franz von Holzhausen and developed under the codename "WhiteStar", a prototype of the Model S debuted in Hawthorne, California, in March 2009.

The official manufacture of the Model S began in June 2012, at the facility in Fremont, California. The car shares thirty percent of its parts with the Model X—a mid-size luxury crossover SUV that began production in 2015. The body and chassis of the Model S are composed primarily of aluminum, while its induction motor is made of steel and copper. The car has received numerous updates over the course of its production, with the most prominent changes occurring in 2016 and 2021. The 2016 update introduced a new front fascia and refreshed trim levels.[note 2] The 2021 update, codenamed "Palladium" during development, introduced a revised interior, powertrain, and trim level lineup, which included the introduction of the "Plaid", one of the world's fastest sedans.

In 2015 and 2016, the Model S was the world's best-selling plug-in electric vehicle until it was surpassed by the Model 3. The Model S has been the subject of multiple fires, the first occurring in Kent, Washington, in October 2013. The car has earned numerous accolades, including being named one of the "Best 25 Inventions of the Year 2012" by Time and receiving the "Tech Car of the Year for 2012" award from CNET. The car has received mixed reviews: The Daily Telegraph described the Model S as a "car that changed the world",[7] but Road & Track called it "perhaps one of the worst [cars in the world]."[8]
