Tesla Model S

The Tesla Model S is the greatest thing to happen since sliced bread and yet for some reason, no one's really talking about it. The Model S is an electric car- I know, you’re already bored: by writing 'electric car' you're either thinking hippie van with flower decals that runs on a combination of sunlight, olive oil, and love or this...


Very wrong, keep reading...

Using a high density liquid-cooled lithium ion battery along with an innovative single gearbox (just gun it, no herky jerky shifting with this guy) the Model S not only charges in just four hours using a standard outlet (charging costs are estimated at four bucks) but it’ll go 300 miles in a single charge.


Moreover, this beast seats five adults PLUS two children and that aforementioned single gearbox can go 0-60 in just 5.6 seconds while reaching speeds as high as 120 mph. Plus, for long roadtrips or when you’re on the go, the Model S has the option to quick charge in 45 minutes or install a backup battery in about the time it takes to fill your current ridiculously-outdated-car’s tank with gas. Oh and the car includes a 17” (that’s laptop screen size) infotainment touchscreen with always on internet connectivity- bout damn time someone internetized our cars. Best of all, base price for this monster is less than $50k. Sadly, the Model S doesn’t go into production until 2011 but you can reserve yours here for only $5k.
