How does one go about explaining what an electric car is to children? Or, even more specifically, what a Tesla Model S is? Bit of a strange question, and probably not one that you’ve ever considered before, but… probably one worth considering. After all, if you can’t convince a child … [continued]
Originally published on EV Obsession. On CleanTechnica this past week, a video of a bunch of dudes reacting to the wicked acceleration of the P85D got a lot of attention. It was fun to watch, but this one below of the reactions of two ladies (especially the newbie passenger) tops … [continued]
How does the Tesla Model S P85D compare to other cars in its class, such as the Audi RS7, BMW M6 GC, & Mercedes CLS63 AMG? Good question — and one that’s aided and simplified to a good degree by a wonderful side-by-side comparison of the Audi RS7, BMW M6 GC, … [continued]
One of our Australian readers, Peter Egan, was kind enough to share some photos and information about Tesla down under.

There are different naming systems currently in use for 100% electric cars, plug-in hybrid electric cars, and conventional hybrid electric cars. The topic comes up in our comment section from time to time, particularly by people who are opposed to my inclusive use of “electric cars.” So, I’ve decided to … [continued]
Originally published on Planetsave. Aside from press releases we receive via email (we get a lot!), I scan over 100 sources in order to find “the biggest” or “most interesting” stories I can for our team to cover. One of those sources is the Tesla Motors Club forum. Just after Christmas, … [continued]
In the video above, you can see the Lamborghini Aventador beats the Tesla Model S P85D to 60 miles per hour, but the P85D actually has the lead up to 50 miles per hour, with its insane torque. Enjoy the video and share with any gearhead friends of yours! Tesla … [continued]
