Tesla Model S Electric car

The new Tesla Model S was finally unveiled. I have taken a journey through cyberspace to see what the fuss is all about. This , unlike the Tesla Roadster, is more affordable and it is tipped to be THE electric car of choice, the same way the Prius is THE hybrid.

What fascinating about the Model S is that it is a proper car, unlike other electric cars, it has all the toys you would expect in a mid size sedan. Air con, sat nav, electric windows.

One draw back of electric cars is the range and how long it takes to charge, the Model S charges to 80% in 45 mins and fully in 2-3hrs. The range is 300 miles, which is alot. It is a performer too 0-60 takes 5.6sec and the top speed is 120mph which is very impressive.

It is well crafted too, it is a beautiful car outside and the interior is exquisite, it seats 7 people 5 seats for adults and 2 rear facing seats in the back for children. It has a big boot too.

We don't know yet when it will be available in Africa but orders are being taken and delivery will start in 2011.

Tesla are not new to the world of electrics, they also produce the Tesla Roadster, which is very successful in the USA.
