Long range Tesla's have higher a performance battery and two motors. The long range have more battery energy which allows the vehicle to reach more than 250 miles in a single charge. Standard range Tesla's struggle to reach 200 miles in a single charge in comparssion.

Active safety features come standard on all Tesla vehicles made after September 2014 for elevated protection at all times. These features are made possible by our Autopilot hardware and software system and include:

• Automatic Emergency Braking: Detects cars or obstacles that the car may impact and applies the brakes accordingly

• Forward Collision Warning: Warns of impending collisions with slower moving or stationary cars

• Side Collision Warning: Warns of potential collisions with obstacles alongside the car

• Obstacle Aware Acceleration: Reduces acceleration when an obstacle is detected in front of your car while driving at low speeds

• Blind Spot Monitoring: Warns when a car or obstacle is detected when changing lanes

• Lane Departure Avoidance: Applies corrective steering to keep your car in the intended lane

• Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance: Steers your car back into the driving lane when it detects that your car is departing its lane and there could be a collision

Active safety features are designed to assist drivers, but cannot respond in every situation. It is your responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control of your car at all times.

Cars built between September 2014 and October 2016 include first generation Autopilot hardware: one camera, a first-generation radar and ultrasonic sensors. These vehicles are ineligible for retrofits to the latest Autopilot hardware. As of April 2019, all new Tesla cars come standard with Autopilot, which includes Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer.

For vehicles without Autopilot software, but are equipped with the necessary hardware, you can purchase Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot or Full Self-Driving Capability at any time through your Tesla Account – and the Autopilot software required will be added to your car.

Autopilot

• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control: Matches the speed of your car to that of the surrounding traffic

• Autosteer: Assists in steering within a clearly marked lane, and uses traffic-aware cruise control

Enhanced Autopilot

• Auto Lane Change: Assists in moving to an adjacent lane on the motorway when indicator is engaged by driver

• Navigate on Autopilot (Beta): Actively augments Auto Lane Change by providing guidance to the driver to transit motorway’s on-ramp to off-ramp, including suggesting lane changes and navigating interchanges

• Autopark: Helps parallel or perpendicular park your car, with a single touch

• Summon: Moves your car in and out of a tight space using the mobile app

• Smart Summon: Your car will navigate more complex environments and parking spaces, maneuvering around objects as necessary to come find you in a car park within your direct vicinity.

Full Self-Driving Capability

• All functionality of Basic Autopilot and Enhanced Autopilot

• Traffic and Stop Sign Control (Beta): Identifies stop signs and traffic lights and slows your car to a stop on approach, with your active supervision.

• Upcoming:

  • Autosteer on city streets

The currently enabled Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous. Full autonomy will be dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As Tesla’s Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving capabilities evolve, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates.
