originally debuted at the 2009 geneva auto show, california based tesla motors has finally begun to ship the ‘model S’ to its first customers. amidst skepticism about how electric technology will perform, the ‘model S’ is designed to accomodate the everyday driver, offering a full-size 5-seater sedan and extended driving range.

with up to 300 miles of driving on a full charge in its lithium-ion battery, the vehicle allows for traveling longer distances than current electric models. the sedan comes standard with adaptors for most common outlets and public charging stations, where charging can take between 30 minutes on to 5 hours for a full battery. as a fully electric vehicle, the ‘model S’ outputs zero carbon emissions into the atmosphere, creating a sustainable option for future transportation.
