Telsa Model S

What is Telsa? Is that a unit of magnetic field strength or magnetic flux density? Is that an American Rock band? Or, is that the famous scientist,Nikola Tesla?

The answer is NO! None of them is right.

Tesla Motor Company, a manufacturer of electric car company, founded in 2003, is headquartered in the heart of California's Silicon Valley. Its founder is a Silicon Valley engineer, Martin Eberhard, while investors are SpaceX founder
Elon Musk. Tesla Motors is the first lithium-ion battery electric car company in the world.

The Tesla Model S is a full-sized electric four-door hatchback produced by Tesla Motors. First shown to the public at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show as a prototype, retail deliveries started in the United States in June 2012. The Model S was released in Europe in early August 2013, and the first deliveries took place in Norway, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official range for the Model S Performance model equipped with an 85 kWh lithium-ion battery pack is 265 miles (426 km), topping the Tesla Roadster and making the Model S the electric car with the greatest range available in the market. The EPA range for the model with the 60 kW·h battery is 208 mi (335 km). EPA's energy consumption is rated at 237.5 W·h per kilometre (38 kW·h/100 mi) for a combined fuel economy of 89miles per gallon gasoline equivalent(2.64 L/100 km). Tesla had also scheduled the release of a base model with a smaller 40 kW·h battery expected to deliver a range of 160 miles (260 km) but decided against this entry-level model, citing low demand.



The Tesla Model S has won numerous awards and recognition such as the 2013 World Green Car of the Year, 2013 Motor Trend Car of the Year, Automobile Magazine's 2013 Car of the Year, Time Magazine Best 25 Inventions of the Year 2012 award, Consumer Reports' top-scoring car ever, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA top ranked 5 star safety rating.


If you think, a safe modern economical car cannot provide a strong power, you are totally wrong. Tesla Model S Performance can accelerate to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds. This result is enough to compare with a lot of traditional energy super cars.

It will definitely change the life style of human beings. It will lead the life, just like Apple did few years ago.
