Tesla Model S P85 Test Drive - The Best Car Ever?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
SPECIAL NOTE: actual 0 to 60mph time is less than 5 seconds!!! Tesla Model S P88 test drive. Is this the best car ever made? First, it performs up there with the finest sedans in the world.

Fisker Automotive is a company, like Tesla, that is aiming to make the world cleaner with electric cars. There first car to be made has a 400+ driving range, all wheel drive, 9 minute charge time to be able to drive 125 mi, and is only $125,000.

Tesla is an organization that makes cars the run on a battery. They have now released a device and way to have your house run completely on solar panels and have it connected to a panel on your wall.

Tesla batteries integrate with solar to reliably capture, store and consume the renewable energy provided by the sun.

Some of the benefits in today's electric cars are Home Charging, Cheaper operations cost, No TAILPIPE emissions, and there quiet and quick.
- Home recharging - Since you have to recharge the battery of your car, you can't go to a station and wait 5 hours for your cars battery to fill. Instead you go home after driving to where ever you had to go and you plug your car in and by the next morning it is full. You will never have to go to a gas station ever again.
- Cheaper operations cost - Electric Cars have been proven to be cheaper by one third to one fourth the cost of gasoline for every mile, You also don't need oil changes and all the other maintenance's involved in a gasoline car.
- No TAILPIPE emissions - The electric cars have no emissions from the tailpipe, it doesn't mean they have no emissions at all, just from tailpipes. If you live in a state that has more clean energy productions then your car is pretty close to clean
- Quiet and Quick - These Cars, especially by Tesla, are very quiet to the point where you can barely hear them flooring it down the road. There also very fast and have incredible top speeds from the capability of the battery.

Like almost anything in life, electric cars have their pros and cons. You can expect a site like PluginCars.com to generally promote EVs as having, on balance, a lot more benefits than shortcomings-but that doesn't mean we can't offer an honest assessment of the pros and cons of cars that use electricity rather than petroleum. Here it is, short and sweet.

PROS

Quiet and Quick

It only takes one ride in a battery-powered car to understand the improved ride quality of an EV compared to a vehicle using a petroleum-powered internal combustion engine. An electric car is very quiet and very smooth. It makes most regular cars seem clunky and outdated. What surprises people more is the high torque (axle-twisting power) offered by EVs. Step on the accelerator and power is delivered immediately to the wheels, providing an exhilarating driving experience.

Home Recharging

Imagine never going to a gas station again. All you have to do is pull into your garage or driveway, reach over for a plug, and push it into the charging inlet. It's very convenient and takes all of about 15 seconds. Wake up the next morning, and you have a car ready to go another 80 to 100 miles-or double that, depending on the model. That's plenty for everybody except interstate travelers. (The charging task can be more difficult for people living in condos and apartments, but access to multi-family and workplace charging is improving every day.)

Cheaper to Operate

In most parts of the world, electricity is ubiquitous and cheap-with a big cost advantage over petroleum. Given the considerable efficiency of electric cars compared to internal combustion models, the cost per mile to fuel an EV is approximately one-third to one-quarter the cost of gasoline (on a cost per mile basis). And because electric cars don't have exhaust systems and don't need oil changes, maintenance costs are reduced. To maintain an electric car, just rotate your tires and keep them properly inflated.

No Tailpipe Emissions

Nearly all credible researchers believe that electric cars, even in coal-dependent regions, have a smaller environmental impact than conventional vehicles. In regions with a strong grid mix of renewables-such as hydro, wind and solar-or for electric car drivers with home solar, the emissions benefits are dramatic. You can expect some analysts to argue the opposite. But it's incontrovertible that EVs don't have a tailpipe, and therefore provide a real benefit to improving air quality for you, your family, and your community.

CONS

Limited Range

It's everybody's cool EV term: Range Anxiety! It stands for the worry that occurs because most affordable electric cars only have about 80 to 100 miles of range, and take hours to fully refuel. EV advocates will argue that 100 miles of range is plenty for most driving. As a result, nearly all electric car drivers rarely if ever experience range anxiety. It's also true that the range and cost of electric car batteries are incrementally improving every year, with 200-plus mile EVs starting to arrive in late 2016. Still, unless you drive an electric car with a backup range-extending engine, you need to properly plan: to assure that routes beyond predictable local driving are within range (or allow for a time to recharge).

Long Refueling Time

Concerns about range are closely tied with issues related to how long it takes to refuel an electric car. EVs commonly can add about 20 to 25 miles of range in an hour of charging from a 240-volt source of electricity. So, while you can't run down to the gas station and add a couple hundred miles of range in five to 10 minutes, and while many road trips are not advisable, drivers putting typical amounts of miles on their cars will not be impinged by recharging times measured in hours-as long as they remember to plug in before going to sleep. (One other factor: public DC Quick Chargers, capable of adding about 50 miles of range in around 20 to 25 minutes, are increasingly available in regions with relatively high numbers of electric cars.)

Higher Cost

The current crop of electric cars are mostly priced between $30,000 and $40,000. That makes EVs considerably more expensive than comparably equipped small to midsized gas-powered vehicles. In this light, EVs are indeed expensive. However, cost comparisons usually fail to consider a number of factors, including incentives often valued at $10,000; competitive lease rates as low as $199 a month; lower maintenance costs; and a luxury feel and amenities that far exceed what's found in those cheaper gas models.

Lack of Consumer Choice

The 40 of or so plug-in electric vehicles on the market consist mostly of compact pure electric cars and midsize plug-in hybrid sedans. The field is quickly expanding, with plug-in hybrid SUVs, a plug-in minivan and the Tesla Model X, an all-electric SUV. Several major automakers set aggressive goals of releasing a dozen or more new plug-in models in the coming years, promising electric models in many different segments. Unfortunately, the style of some popular EVs is polarizing: you either love it or, if you hate it, you hold off on purchasing an electric car. Yet, the trend is to offer electric versions of existing attractive models, rather than electric-only models that can look overly futuristic to average buyers.
