TESLA MODEL S PERFORMANCE - HIGH SPEED TEST DRIVE !!!
http://www.epinions.com/review/2013_Tesla_Model_S_epi/content_603226738308?alert_type=0&comments=1&submit=Submit
THIS IS the edited version of my TESLA MODEL S video review.
The car was fully charged and speed limited to 80MPH. Hopefully, you'll be able to set a speed limit so you don't find yourself busted by the PO PO.
The base model offers around 150 miles of range on a 10 hour charge while the performance models will offer 300 miles.
Right now it offers heated seats, but, cooled/heated seats aren't an option yet. A $1500 panoramic roof is an option.
I'd like to see a $40,000 model with a 100 mile range and supercharging access.
PROS
The Tesla is [B]very heavy[/B] but due to the early torque, it accelerates [B]faster[/B] than even a supercharged SRT8. That's how it killed the BMW M5.
The platform is [B]stiff[/B]. You feel almost no body roll at all and it is extremely planted.
The steering is light and will adopt to the casual driver very well.
Very, very spacious. You can have jump seats put in the rear with the kids facing out the back window for a total of 7 passengers. There are essentially 2 trunks in this car because there is no engine or battery compartment on the cabin level. It's all in the platform - BRILLIANT!
CONS
The car has a bit of wind noise/ road noise. The electric motor is near silent, so you notice the noise from outside more than usual.
I'd have liked to see some type of next generation shifter to make the car feel more like a "spaceship". A shifter like the mono-static shifters in the new BMW would be cool. They got this shifter from the Mercedes Benz parts bin (as well as the steering wheel).
I personally don't know if I could see myself buying the new SRT8 when the Tesla exists. I'm not sure what it's long term maintenance is, but what I do know is with an SRt8 you are spending around $4.30 for a gallon of Premium and only getting 14 mpg or less in the City.
The interior is roughly the same grade as a Chrysler/Ford/ GM product. Adding a massive touchscreen doesn't cause you to overlook that.
With the tax credit, this car will cost you less than the SRT8, Lincoln MKS, Mercedes E-class, BMW 5/M5, Cadillac XTS and Genesis R-spec.
The Tesla OUTPERFORMS THEM ALL.

Tesla Model S Performance test drive with MMASSASSIN
Experience the test drive day of the model S. We take you not only trough the test drive but have a chance to ask these guys some questions. So wether your considering buying either the stock or the car this is a must see. I truly came back believing that this car performed better than any other gas powered car in its class. I think the key to this unique drive is the low center of gravity that gives a grip that no combustion engine car can physically achieve.
When I bought AAPL apple the day Steve Jobs got rehired in 1997 at 4 buck equivalent and accumulated, back then everyone and there mom bashed the company, look at it now. Im a full time stock and options trader, yet all my trading trough the years has not made me as much money as holding on to AAPL stock from 4 buck equivalent after stock splits. I feel about TSLA today as I felt about AAPL back then. Time will tell if I'm right
