2015 Tesla S Review by John Heilig - The Auto Channel (blog)
JH Says: The Tesla is incredible, not only for its technology and good looks but for its overall performance as well. AUTO PAGE SPECS MODEL: 2015 Tesla Model S. ENGINE: AC induction, three phase, four pole. (front and rear/rear seat backs down). ECONOMY: 88 mpg-e city/90 mpge highway/89 mpge average (270 miles range). COMPETITIVE CLASS: Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series,. BOTTOM LINE: The Tesla Model S is the most technologically advanced car I have ever driven. Combine that with great performance, handling and comfort and you have a car that’s worth the $93,830 sticker. We approached the Tesla in the parking garage of the King of Prussia Mall, where my nearest store was located (between Apple and Lane Bryant). As we neared the car, the flush door handles popped out from the doors and we entered. The Tesla’s dash is dominated by a large 17-inch central touchscreen, taller than it is wide. All of the Tesla’s functions are controlled through this screen, from audio to HVAC to switching from “normal” to “ludicrous” power (more on that later). This graph can be replicated on the left side of the central instrument panel. A central speedometer dominates the i. p. Of course, there’s a “miles to empty” to let you know how many miles you have before you have to recharge. We had 236 miles to. Source: www.theautochannel.com
