Tesla Model S Revealed to Media

move over, Quattroporte. we have a new winner in the luxury saloon beauty pageant

On any level this is a good looking car. Part Maserati QP, part Jaguar XF and thoroughly modern. That it has come from such a small company is a real achievement. I just hope it lives up to its promises AND gets to market before the money runs out for Tesla.

Part Aston Martin, part Porsche panamera, the back end is copied from the Jaguar XF, and there are some elements of the Lexus GS300. But it doesnt look half bad.

This is the future, let likes of the Chrysler and co go and give the money to the true visionaries such as Tesla.

Stylish high class looks from top to bottom and front to back ... if Tesla can bring this to market at the quoted price and performance figures it is certain to sell in very large numbers

sex on 4 wheels...this is the future..i am buying their stock

It does look better than expected, I agree. However "move over Quattroporte" is a highly inappropriate summary for it. The foundation has now been laid. Thats good but the Tesla S still does not manage my weekly drive between Geneva an Zurich (620 km) without a recharge. Charging time and range remain issues to be addressed.

WOW!!! tomorrow is now. say good bye petrol cars. their time is finally to be over. i want one of these. truely amazing, Tesla has its first model hardly on the market and already showing off their next hot item - and what an item it is - beautiful. i can't believe GM and all others can't come up with something like this? although GM has something simallar now, but why did they need so long? Mr. Martin Eberhardt, founder and father of Tesla, is the Henry Ford of the future, i deeply hope he is still involved in this pioneery company. Also congradulations to the Tesla design department - nice job. -

I agree with all the positive comments here... In addition, I see a touch of Citroen design in the car, nevertheless, this is still far from a perfect car if it carries flaws from its sister roadster. I guess you can never have a perfect vehicle. A true testament for companies with likes of Fisker and Tesla is whether they get returning customers as these cars maybe sold purely on the basis of novelty, be it price, design or environment.

I want this car! I watched several videos of the Roadster that Tesla already has out and I was really impressed. I like the fact that Electric Vehicles are near silent, good for sneaking up on people or driving through populated areas late at night! I also like that all of the torque is available from '0' RPM. I have to be honest and say that I admire Tesla Motor Cars inventiveness and creativity. Chrysler, Ford, GM, etc. have had Billions of dollars to play with to develop cars and only GM has managed so far to come up with the VOLT. Seriously, if Tesla can be this inventive and daring (who knows will these things sell in volume), then what are the other guys doing? Sitting on their hands? I agree range without charging is a problem, but hey technology will get better if people start working on it, and anyway my car doesn't go forever if I forget to fill up with Gas!

300 miles on a charge is pretty good, and succificient for the vast majority... if you really want to go far europe has a pretty good train network. I dont know why america persists in propping up failing companies like GM and Chrysler... ultimately Tesla is a far better investment opportunity, if they get big then the american car workers can work for them.

The screen in the middle of the dashboard is huge! Anyway, I still like the Fisker sedan more, yet this one is not bad at all, however less original, I see a little of a Citroen/Jag/Maseratti combination here.

Nicely done! Part Maserati, part Jag XF, hint of Aston Martin. Would happily own one!

I like it, and 300 miles with 45 minute charge those are some good numbers.

Jaguar / Aston Martin copy anyone?

When chinese or corean automaker make a car that looks like some european model everybody feels hurt but when a green american automaker make it's car in this way everybody enjoys it. I think those points of view are quite stupid even if that car still looks good, for me this is more a copy than an original good looking new car.

I could interpretate some design aspects of different brands like the back of Jaguar etc. But I want only to agree with many others: glad to see such a nice conception planned for the nearest future. The time of tomorrow!

I really hate all of that pseudo environmental-friendly stuff like electric cars... But what a design of this car! Gorgeus! What a shame that it won't have four or five liter turbocharged monster under the bonnet... With electric motor acceleration to 60 mph looks nice but maximum speed (120 mph :-) is a riot...

also looks like stunning quality.

Woah this is amazing! Absolutely beautiful. Tesla has definitely hit the sweet spot with this one. I hope they get it to production soon, because this baby will SELL. And yeah, it's amazing how a small company such as Tesla can come up with something like this, while the big companies have nothing to offer that compares to this. I think this is going to be something big. Really big.
