Which Tesla model is a luxury sedan?

The story behind the answer

Which Tesla model is a luxury sedan? The Tesla Model S is the luxury sedan.

The Model S is a battery-electric, four-door full-size sedan that became Tesla's second production vehicle after the Roadster. Tesla began series production at its Fremont factory in June 2012, making the car central to the company's transition from a niche sports-car maker into a mass-market electric-vehicle manufacturer.

The model was developed under the “WhiteStar” project name. Designer Franz von Holzhausen shaped the production exterior after replacing Henrik Fisker on the project. The Model S uses a large battery pack beneath the passenger compartment, a layout that lowers the vehicle's center of gravity and helps create a spacious cabin.

The answer is easy to confuse with Tesla's other model letters. Model X is a luxury crossover SUV, Model Y is a compact crossover SUV, and Model 3 is a smaller sedan positioned below the Model S. The Model S has also been sold in high-performance versions, including the three-motor Plaid variant, but its basic vehicle class remains a luxury sedan.
