With fewer moving parts, there are neither messy multi-gear transmissions nor differentials needed. While the Tesla may be less dramatic in the audio stakes, its quietness makes it very compelling to drive. It’s also a green car especially if the electricity that shall power it comes from a renewable source.
While many would suspect that the 300-mile range of the P85D is just a promotional feature, it has been proven already several times during its test-runs making the Tesla Model S ideal for cross-country driver rather than for the conventional city driving.
The P85D brought forth a paradigm shift in motoring and brought the once electric car theory into a remarkable reality, something that would make gasoline-engine cars really look into it on a more serious note or even something that oil companies may look into as a serious threat to their retail pump business.
With Tesla’s almost incredible improvement from the original, fast-but-flawed Roadster of 2008 to the P85D, the Tesla Model S may be the performance machine which shall eventually hold the future of the motoring industry.
