  • Tesla Model S Electric Car


    - 300 mile range
    - 45 minute QuickCharge
    - 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds
    - Seats 7 people
    - More cargo space than sedans
    - 2X as efficient as hybrids
    - 17 inch infotainment touchscreen

    With a range up to 300 miles and 45-minute QuickCharge, the Model S can carry five adults and two children in quiet comfort – and you can charge it from any outlet, without ever stopping for gas. World’s first mass-produced electric vehicle offers performance, efficiency and unrivaled utility for a base price of $49,900*, making it the only car you’ll ever need.

    Three battery pack options offer a range of 160, 230 or 300 miles per charge. With the 45 minute QuickCharge or 1 minute battery swap, you can drive from LA to San Francisco, Washington to New York or take even longer road trips in about the same time as in a conventional car.

    With seating for five adults and two children, plus an additional trunk under the hood, Model S has passenger carrying capacity and versatility rivaling SUVs and minivans. Rear seats fold flat, and the hatch gives way to a roomy opening, so you can stow a mountain bike, 50-inch flat-screen TV, full drum set or futon frame – more than ample for the entire family and their gear.

    Model S offers 100 percent torque, 100 percent of the time without jerky shifting and a fraction of the noise and harshness of internal combustion engines. This smooth and constant power delivery, combined with the sporty handling of the chassis and suspension, leads to a superior driving experience.

    The Model S powertrain features a liquid-cooled, floor-mounted battery pack and a single-speed gearbox, delivering effortless acceleration, responsive handling and quiet simplicity -- no fancy clutchwork or gear-shifting required. Model S costs about $4 to fully charge – a bargain even when gasoline is $1 per gallon. You can listen to Pandora Radio or consult Google Maps on the 17 inch touchscreen with in-car 3G connectivity.

        Nice looking car with all the features except one...and one that would probably stop me from buying one. No sports exhaust...To drive a sports car in utter quietness would spoil the enjoyment of driving a sports car. Another thing, picture this...A young guy silently rolls up to McDonalds in front of a group of peers leaning against their souped up Silvia's Toyota's and Beamers etc..and asks the guy what the specs are...um..it's electric..but it's fast!:blush:

          This is one of my daily drives...A Volvo S40...who said they were for old geezers with hats..

          I wouldn't part with it. Mind you the one i have isn't set up for racing, but you can certainly hear me coming...
