Tesla’s Model S has set a new record by covering 1,078km on a single charge. It was the 100D variant that had its charging port sealed by a lawyer after it was completely charged. A team of five drivers then drove the car in southern Italy and achieved the milestone after approximately 29 hours of nonstop action. To get as far as possible, the standard production vehicle’s AC was off throughout the trip and it was fitted with tyres that offer low rolling resistance. As an add on, the team took advantage of the car’s Autopilot tech that kept it running at a constant speed in the middle lane.
