2013 Tesla Model S

2013 Tesla Model S: Tesla wanted the Model S to be the worlds first mass-produced, highway-capable, and fully-electric car. Unfortunately, Nissan was able to beat it to the punch with the Leaf. Like the Leaf, the Model S will compete in some fashion with the crop of gas hybrids including the upcoming Chevrolet Volt and the current Toyota Prius and Honda Insight.

Part of the Model Ss appeal comes from the floor-mounted battery pack and powertrain, which allows the front hood to be used as a trunk and provides more cabin and cargo space. The standard Model S does 0-60 mph in less than six seconds and will have a top speed of 120 mph, with an upcoming sport version expected to achieve 0-60 mph acceleration below five seconds.
