New Tesla
- Sure, it’s expensive, but a Tesla is also unique, and truly unique automotive experiences are rarely cheap (the $1.8 million Bugatti Veyron is also unique, for example). With no pistons, connecting rods, or gearbox to provide inertial drag (its transmission is a single-speed gear reduction), accelerating a Tesla is the closest thing to being shot out of a potato gun. It sounds like a jet, and your own garage becomes your filling station. And unless you live in Malibu, you might own it for a decade before encountering another one on the road. And so forth

Tesla model S
Tesla Motors, revealed a prototype model of its new all-electric sedan, named the Model S.
The company’s chief designer, Franz von Holzhausen, formerly with General Motors and Mazda, talked up the sleek, silver Model S. They are calling the Model S the next generation in fossil-fuel-free, zero-emission cars, and they are asking President Obama to help produce it. At a price tag of $57,400 or $49,900 minus tax credits, it’s not for the masses; it’s more like a luxury “green” vehicle.
