2012 Tesla Model S
I t had to happen sooner or later. The maker of the revolutionary Tesla all-electric sports cars now manufactures an all-electric sports sedan. With a range up to 300 miles, and capable of recharging in 45 minutes, the company claims the Model S can carry seven people.
And the world’s first mass-produced electric vehicle, capable of 0-60 in 5.6 seconds, has an appetizing base price of $49,900 – substantially less than other Tesla models. Three battery pack options are available for the Model S enabling the car to travel 160, 230 or 300 miles per charge, with a battery pack capable of lasting up to a decade, if treated nicely. The engine is a 3-phase, 4-pole electric motor (language we'll have to get used to) that's capable of reaching 120 mph.
The Model S is a sleek all-wheel driver cruiser, which resembles a number of modern-day European cars, and comes with an attractive list of features, including 21-inch wheels, Brembo brakes and a 17-inch touch screen. It’s a fascinating added offering from Tesla and one that is sure to capture the attention and hearts of environmentally minded motorists looking for pizzazz and peace of mind. Expect Tesla to start delivering the Model S in 2012. –LS
