Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, has been bigging up his latest baby, a souped-up Tesla Model S sedan, which the company is currently beta testing for the gear-heads among us.
The currently available Model S is no slouch with a 0-60 mph time of 5.6 seconds, but the new variant will bring that time down to a Porsche 911-beating 4.5 seconds. That’s only 0.1 seconds off the king of sport saloons the BMW M5! With that kind of eye watering acceleration you’re not going to have much issue besting that boy racer in the pimped-out Ford Fiesta at the lights. Eat my exhaust free dust! [Green Car Reports]
can you actually buy Tesla in the UK? I mean not just have it imported from the US but also have your steering wheel on the right side
Guessing so. There’s a Tesla Showroom in London – http://www.teslamotors.com/londonstore
Does 98% of the population car about their electric car beating a Porsche? I imagine an electric car would be bought for other reasons. Plus have they made their car reliable yet?
I thought is always was reliable – but it got a bad name from Top Gear who faked a breakdown that never happened.
