The cabin centres on a 17-inch landscape touchscreen that controls most functions, plus a driver display and rear passenger screen. Tri-zone climate control is standard. Autopilot comes as standard and includes traffic-aware cruise control, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning, lane keeping and a reversing camera. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not offered.
Rear cargo volume is 709 litres with seats up. Folding the second row expands this to 1739 litres. An additional 89-litre front trunk is available.

Payload is listed at 433 kg vehicle capacity weight. The car suits light trailer use but is not positioned for heavy work duties.
The cabin is quiet thanks to the electric powertrain, extensive sound insulation, and active road noise reduction. Front seats offer 12-way power adjustment with heating and ventilation plus memory. All seats heat, the steering wheel heats, and a standard tinted glass panoramic roof opens the space with UV and infrared protection. HEPA filtration and Bioweapon Defense Mode clean the air. Large touchscreens handle controls with a minimalist layout and rear passenger display.

The car runs entirely on electricity. Charge at home, work, or the Supercharger network. No trips to gas stations. Range depends on driving, weather, and speed, with long distances available on a full charge.
Servicing is lighter than for gas cars. No oil changes or spark plugs. Follow the app alerts for tire rotations, filter replacements, wiper blades, and brake fluid checks. Clean and lubricate calipers yearly in salted-road areas. Most work happens at Tesla centers or as DIY for simple items.
Safety scores high. The structure uses a rigid cell, crumple zones, and a low center of gravity from the battery pack. It earned 5 stars from Euro NCAP under current protocols and holds strong NHTSA ratings. Standard kit covers automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, stability control, and a full airbag set. Over-the-air updates keep systems current.
Daily care stays simple. Use the mobile app for preconditioning, charging schedules, and monitoring. Sentry Mode and dashcam help security. Keep software updated. The design needs little routine attention beyond tires, filters, and wipers.
