The Electric Super-sedan – Tesla Model S.

 Do you want a car that is as interactive and cool as the newest smart phone…The car equivalent of an IPhone..the IPhone car? There is a Gadget carin the market now that will allow you to express yourself as the tech savvy individual you are.

The Tesla Model S is the most extreme car that has come out in the last couple years. The Tesla Electric car is a 4 door ($77 800 - $129 000) Electric super car, it does 0-62 in 4.4 seconds, and if you lay of the petal and drive the car at a reasonable rate, they project your electric juice to last you for 400+ km on one full charge.

At the end of the day all you have to do is plug the c
ar into a 210w outlet and let it charge back up (0 to 100% in 8 hours). In Canada we have not yet received the super stations yet that will speed up charging time too 30 mins for a full charge, once these stations come into play the company predicts a huge jump in sales.

When it comes to the cars gadgets the list goes on and on. The Model S has a brain in the shape of a 17” touch screen, centered on the dashboard for easy access for both the driver and passenger in the front seat. This display controls almost everything on the car. There are multiple functions that the driver can pick through and also different viewing options with split screen views and also full screen capability. The GPS in the car is very cool and works very well, it is a pleasure to use, mainly due to the fact it is on such a big screen. The car comes with an amazing stereo system and also instead of XM radio it comes with 3G capabilities so you can stream any songs that you want to listen too. Also there is a vehicle settings page, back up camera, internet search, and phone all controlled on the touchscreen.

This car is truly amazing and is showing us the directions that the top auto manufactures have to take if they want to keep up with the technology of these new cars.

Who will make the next electric super-sedan?

    1. That would be cool, I think Lexus will be able to create a cool electric super sedan and steal some body lines from the LFA!
