The 2013 Tesla Model S P85+ was a sedan produced from 2013 to 2014. It features a single motor (ac induction) RWD powertrain. EPA-rated range is 265 miles with 89 MPGe. It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4 seconds. Top speed is 130 mph. Manufactured at Fremont, CA.
The P85+ was Tesla's first crack at a proper performance sedan. Released in mid-2013, it packed an enhanced rear motor with more aggressive tuning and came standard with sport suspension and staggered 21-inch wheels. It was rear-wheel drive only, as dual-motor Teslas didn't exist yet.
Production was limited, running only from June 2013 to October 2014, which makes surviving examples relatively rare today. The "+" designation indicated a higher-output inverter and upgraded rear drive unit. It was a proof of concept: Tesla could build a car that was fast, not just efficient.
