Elon Musk says Tesla has broken a new barrier for electric vehicles. The new Model S Long Range Plus has an EPA-rated range of 402 miles on a single charge, the first electric vehicle to reach the 400-mile mark. That’s a 20 percent increase over last year’s Model S 100D, using the same battery pack – a change Musk attributes to more aerodynamic wheels, a lighter design, and updated brakes.
After eight years on the market, @Tesla's #ModelS, its first mainstream EV, breaks through a new ceiling by netting an official EPA-rated 400-mile range.https://t.co/FqwkGWqMBO
