This my friends is the most affordable of the high end electric cars available in the near future. Let me introduce you to the Tesla S-series. This car is by far the greatest North American car ever built for under $50,000 US. Why?, you may ask. Well simply put… It’s 100% electric.
Unlike all the other major car companies around this day and age who have been fighting to keep internal combustion engine vehicles at the top of their sales list Tesla Motors solely builds electric cars. At this time they only sell the Tesla Roadster which is currently the highest performance electric car sold in the world. Although the price tag on a Roadster is around $100,000 US which makes it only available to wealthier people the S-series will be selling for $49,000 US and up which is a far cry from the Roadsters pricing.
Now you wanna talk performance? The S-series can go from 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds. It has a top speed of 120 mph and can travel up to 300 miles on a single charge depending on the battery pack selected. Now let me remind you that this is an electric car not gas powered. Electric cars have always been associated with low speed and short range but not anymore. The Tesla Roadster on the other hand can go from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds and travel at a top speed of 125 mph. Range is around 220 miles but don’t forget this is Tesla’s first car model.
Still not convinced? Consider this: The cost to operate the S-series vehicle is about $5.00 to drive 230 miles. The battery can charge up 80% in as little as 45min. It’s silent and pollutant free. There are less moving parts, no more oil changes, and only a single speed gearbox. Without shifting the car accelerates faster than a typical car with a multi-speed transmission. They are even twice as efficient as Hybrids. No more stops to the gas station is also a definite plus.
Now the S-series line won’t be available to the end of 2011 but they are constantly evolving their designs and coming up with the latest and greatest battery designs. Tesla motors doesn’t build cars… it builds Weapons! Well not real weapons, just some badass cars. For more info check out www.teslamotors.com.

Wow. Wonderful car. I would really love to have this car which is too impossible knowing its price. I will just be dreaming for now.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Electric Cars are amazing but it’s a lot of money. Ho wcan we help the enviornment when it cost us more!
