2013 Tesla Model S is no less than a luxury sedan that fast, comfortable, and quiet. As such, it is the first time any car startup - one that does not exist eight years ago - has produced and delivered the car professionally.
You can order a Model S with one of three different lithium-ion battery packs, sized to provide spectrum ranges. For the biggest package, you can also order option that enhances performance and hence the performance of the motor output.
While 2012 years ago almost all the models took the package 85-kilowatt-hour greatest - the level EPA at 265 miles of range - 2013 cars will also include mid-level 60-kWh pack, and then a little later the smallest 40-kWh choice. Tesla was initially described as offering a package of 300, 230, and 160 miles, respectively.
While the EPA has not assessed a small package for two electric ranges, applying EPA 265-mile formula, we get a range of 202 and 141 miles for two small parcels. As usual, the real-world range will vary depending on how aggressively it is driven, what speed, outside temperature, and other factors as well.
No matter what might be its capacity, the battery form the floorpan of the Model S, 2013, turning the motor 270 kW-(362-hp) that drives the rear wheels. There is no transmission, rear-mounted engine torque sent directly to a power reduction gear differential. The top speed is limited to 130 mph.
A motor 301-kW (416-hp) used a stronger performance in the current issue, along with a high-spec power electronics and other modifications. This option is available only with a 85-kWh pack largest. It provides a 4.4 second 0-to-60-mph time, according to Tesla, while the S model standard quoted at 5.6 seconds.
Tesla Model S to make weight under control by using aluminum to almost every part of the body and structure. Model Performance 85-kWh weighs about 4,700 kg, with less features slightly lighter models. However, from behind the wheel, the Model S was more severe than we expected - closer to Mercedes-Benz S Class, say, than the smaller E Class with a nominal competing.
Like all electric cars, with maximum torque from 0 rpm developed, every Model S will increase rapidly away from stoplights. It's almost too easy to hit 50 or 60 mph on city streets as car rear-mounted powertrain is so smooth and quiet.
Of course, keep your feet on the Tesla Model S and using addicting acceleration will do a lot of damage to the range. Experienced Tesla Roadster owner said it could take up to six months before they stop driving like that - knowing that the thin acceleration is on tap when you want.
The display shows both the maximum range and variety of predictions based on the last 30 miles of driving. They can be very different - we see 290 miles compared to 165 miles - after using acceleration that. The owner must learn to trade off a sheer delight acceleration for longer range.
Angle Model S is impressive and neutral for a short road test - helped by a very low center of gravity conveyed by placing the heavy battery at the lowest point of the car. Tesla says the car has weight distributed 45 percent front, 55 percent rear.
By default, the air suspension through a small road imperfections through the tires in a car more than we thought. But as long as things are rough, S Model incredible ride, smoothing uneven, potholed streets and stone. Suspension settings range from one that is even more powerful to others that we are inferior light Tesla described as "mushy."
Model S offers two settings for regenerative braking - Normal and Low - and the setting (the highest) Normal feel less aggressive than in the Roadster. It may be appropriate for a car of higher-volume, but the Model S offers little opportunity for "one-pedal driving" appreciated by experienced electric car drivers to plan ahead enough to use just regenerative braking to slow almost stopped.
One of the first reforms were made last year in response to feedback from the original owner Model S is to add a user-selected "idle creep" feature, which inches the car forward when the driver lifted off the brake. It was a relic of a car with an automatic transmission, but the driver now expects it - so Tesla adds, offers a choice of creep it or not there at all.
