The Tesla Model S is the worlds first 100% electric luxury sedan. It is a very technologically advanced car that gives hope to the future of electric cars. Many people look down on electric cars and think that they are useless. The Tesla Model S sports a battery that can last up to 300 miles driving at a constant 55 miles per hour, and can be recharged every night in your own garage. What about your electric bill you might ask. Well on their website, they answer all sorts of questions about the advantages of going electric. They say that if you drive 10,000 miles per year, you will only add $311 to your electric with an average cost of $0.11 per kilowatt hour. That is savings beyond belief. For many gasoline cars, $311 will get you 6-8 tanks, which might last you two months worth of driving. When all is said and done, the gas powered car will cost you approximately 6 times more money in re-fuelling.
The Model S is not only a wise choice for a vehicle in the sense of fuel, it is also good for the environment. There are zero emissions that are left behind. But you might say that the power needed to charge the car requires the burning of carbon-based products. This is true, but there are other ways to produce electricity. Hydroelectric, nuclear, and solar are all alternatives to producing electricity. Plus, these alternatives to carbon-based power production are on the rise. So, mile per mile, the electric car puts less greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.
If the reasons above alone are not enough to sell you on the Model S and the idea of electric cars, maybe the looks and features of the car will be. The Model S is a very sleek and good looking car. When many people think of an electric car, a tiny little smart car is what they see. The Model S is definitely not as small as a smart car. It even looks like a normal sedan and is very stylish, in my opinion. The car doesn't lack in the performance category either. The standard Model S with the 85 kWh battery can do 0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds. The performance model can do it in 4.2 seconds. If you compare to gas cars, these numbers are pretty impressive. These are only a couple of features in a long list. Hopefully by now, you are intrigued enough to learn more about electric cars and the benefits they provide. I suggest you check out Tesla Motors' website if you want to learn more about their company, or the products that they offer.
I find the entire Tesla story very interesting. They have created a car that is putting a dent in a multi-billion dollar industry. Not only has their impact been noticed in the states, it has also been noticed in other parts of the world, mainly Europe. It has been the number one selling car in some countries, and people are waiting months to get theirs in their garages. They have also broken many safety records, and the model s received the title for the best safety rating ever given. It will be very interesting to see what they come out with in the future.
