Model s
At present,Tesla has only two products,the Model S and the Model X.Till 2015, the most powerful range of Tesla vehicles is the Model S 90D and its maximum range is 528 kilometers.As things stand,there are certain challenges to reach a range of 998 kilometers .
ModelX
Tesla's official has claimed that compared with the old models, range of the new models they launched each year will improve 5% to 10%.If we calculate like this,the maximum will be just 639 km by 2017,so Tesla needs to pay great effort to fulfill the goals of 998 km range if it want to upgrade the new vehice on the basis of the Model S.
