Tesla Model S - The electric car that shatters every myth
We are on a roll!
Having visited Tesla, met several of its employees, and now driven the Model S, you get a very strong impression: These guys are serious about demolishing every obstacle that stands in the way of the electric car.
- Range anxiety? Gone. A large (optional) 85-kWh battery realistically yields 200 plus miles with no pampering.
- Slow charging times? Gone. A 10-kWh onboard charger or optional twin chargers (20 kWh), shorten charging times dramatically. A Tesla dedicated high-power charging station can funnel power quickly. Tesla is in the midst of setting up "supercharger" stations at rest areas along some interstate corridors to charge compatible versions of the car to 80-percent capacity in 30 minutes.
- Slow acceleration? Gone. We clocked a zero to 60 mph sprint in 4.6 seconds.
- Tight accommodations? Gone. The interior feels as roomy as a large luxury sedan, such as a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, with a flat floor and plenty of cargo room.
