Tesla Model S is gradually making its way to the real world after years of testing and refining, in hope to take the whole concept of electric motoring to a new level. So the company is kicking its publicity efforts into high gear by letting more journalists drive the Model S, and also sending it on tours of the country to introduce it to the public. Here’s a short clip from the car’s trip to New York City this summer.
The Model S is the first no-compromise, sort of, electric car. It’s pretty, it’s fast, it’s luxurious, and it will do 300 miles on one charge. It comes with three levels of power for different prices, with the most powerful version being quicker than the new BMW M5. It also has a range of awesome features, including:
- Panoramic roof with sliding moon roof
- Retracting door handles for improved aerodynamics
- Full-time 3G connectivity with Internet, HD and satellite radio
- Push button “gear” selector
- Automatic rear lift gate
- 21-inch wheels, Front Tires 245/35ZR21, Rear Tires 285/30ZR21
- 17-inch haptic touchscreen and customizable vehicle information display
- Fully digital instrument cluster
- LED and neon headlight and taillights, with xenon Hella low beams
- Smart-key power and push button gear selector
- Brembo brake system with new one-piece monobloc calipers and integral stiffening bridge to optimize performance
