Talk:Tesla Model S

Sales by country
The table under the Sales by Country section has percentages for each country of the total worldwide sales...They're all wrong. I don't know how they were calculated but they all appear to be wrong. Someone with more time than me will have to sort that (I'm semi-retired). Thanks ツ Jenova  20  (email) 13:58, 8 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Not only that, it hasn't been updated since 2018 or something and the electric car landscape has changed vastly in the meanwhile. Somewhere in the article it says that the Model S is the second best selling electric car when in fact the Model 3 and Y have eclipsed it long ago. dllu (t,c) 07:20, 22 December 2022 (UTC)


 * If you have references, then you are more than welcome to update them yourself. Ask for help if you need it.  Stepho  talk 06:52, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * For example, here are the sales figures for the third quarter: and it is straightforward to find the figures for every quarter prior to then. Since I work at Tesla, I have a conflict of interest so I will abstain from editing the article directly; however, in the upcoming days, if I have time, I can write some draft sections and suggest them with . dllu (t,c) 22:46, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Body conversions
There are three shooting brake conversions commercially available, should these be mentioned? Wiki pages for other car models sometimes includes this. 2A01:799:952:4500:E84E:8E6D:88E3:65AA (talk) 10:46, 25 April 2023 (UTC)


 * It is rare for us to mention custom (ie non-factory) modifications on any car article. If we did, each article would have a near-endless list of modifications possible to the body, engine, brakes, suspension, etc. The particular modifications are often limited in geographical location and the time period they are offered for, so they are of limited use to the majority of readers. So we restrict ourselves to factory offerings.  Stepho  talk 11:27, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Version section needs a rework
The version section is an absolute mess. Some versions get a long text, some don't, some references are made to models that aren't describbed ("The 70D replaced the 60, 60D, and P85", with no 60D ever mentioned), one of the images mentions a P85+, which isn't talked about anywhere... I suggest that the section is replaced by a table like this (values are from https://blog.clutch.ca/posts/understanding-the-different-tesla-model-s-versions, to be checked before the table is added, maybe data from |make-checkbox-dropdown:pathGroup=.tesla|size-checkbox-dropdown:pathGroup=.size-f|bodyshape-checkbox-dropdown:pathGroup=.shape-sedan|rs-price:prev~next=10000~100000|rs-range:prev~next=0~1000|rs-fastcharge:prev~next=0~1500|rs-acceleration:prev~next=2~23|rs-topspeed:prev~next=110~350|rs-battery:prev~next=10~200|rs-towweight:prev~next=0~2500|rs-eff:prev~next=100~350|rs-safety:prev~next=-1~5|paging:currentPage=0|paging:number=10 ev-database.org ):

With a break at the facia redesign.

 * Your scheme looks fine in general. Thinking about international readers and readers not well versed in car stuff, some details to change are:
 * What does "NRCAN" mean? A link would be good.
 * Values and symbols should have a space between them - see WP:CARUNITS and WP:UNITS.
 * Those "hp" and "lb-ft" look suspiciously like power and torque figures but in ancient units used by our grandfathers - see WP:CARUNITS and WP:UNITS.
 * "??" values should be left blank.
 * "Abbandon of (P)kWh(D) naming scheme", misspelling of "abandon". Perhaps replace with "After (P)xx(D) naming scheme abandoned".
 * Are those calendar years or model years? Non-Americans mostly use calendar years and do not understand US style model years. Americans assume model years unless told different.
 * But these are minor things that can be tweaked.  Stepho  talk 00:16, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
