How efficient is it?
As an all-electric vehicle, the 2019 Tesla Model S Standard Range is rated in MPGe rather than MPG, and running costs are dominated by electricity rather than fuel. That is about 317% better than the typical Large Cars of its era (26 MPG class average), making it one of the more efficient choices in its class.
Fuel economy and running costs
At about $700 per year in fuel (EPA estimate, 15,000 mi/yr), fuel is a major part of the cost of owning the 2019 Tesla Model S Standard Range. Over five years that is roughly $3,500 at today's prices — before insurance, maintenance, and depreciation.
How to read these numbers
EPA figures come from standardized laboratory test cycles and are the same estimates shown on the vehicle's window sticker. Your real-world mileage depends on driving style, conditions, fuel grade, and maintenance. Use combined MPG and annual fuel cost to compare vehicles fairly.
