2012 Tesla Model S: Tesla Engineering Marvel
Tesla Model S 2010 is an engineering marvel. The company is a leader in quality and innovation in electric power vehicles, electric powertrain technology and battery engineering. Tesla's Model S incorporates modern approach to car design by the most promising automobile engineers. Cars development included alpha and beta testing phases that began in 2010. Teslaâs Model S Alpha builds have been designed, built, and assembled to a new standard of perfection.

The car comes in three variants to suit your driving needs: 160, 230 and 300 miles per charge. The best part is that you can plug the car to any charging outlet anywhere in the world, just like Tela's Roadseter. Battery innovations by Tesla allows this car to be fully charged within 45 minutes.
The car delivers impressive performance and goes 0 - 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds. The top speed of the car is limited to 120 mph, which is again top class in battery powered vehicles. This performance is made possible by a liquid-cooled, floor-mounted battery pack and single-speed gearbox. Tesla engineers have worked on the car dynamics and aluminum body keeps the weight of the car under control (3,825 pound). The braking distance of the car is 135 feet at 60 mph.
Through the following videos, Tesla's VP of Vehicle Engineering, Mr. Peter Rawlinson talks about the Tesla Model S and the design and engineering innovations Tesla put into it. Worth the watch -
