Zero-to-60 mph in 4.4 seconds

Mercedes-Benz S550?

Well, you have to get the thinking bit down first. As for me, if I ever plonk down ±$100K on an automobile, I’ll trust the internal-combustion motor long before the seven thousand lithium-ion AA batteries, especially in terms of pure engine reliability, never mind places to refuel (the claimed 45-minute recharge time for the Model S will turn out to be far longer, never mind 45 minutes being interminably long to wait). And I will probably be able to get it to out-accelerate the liberal-media-claimed numbers for the Tesla as well, never mind the existing fact that even the governed top speeds of the internal-combustion cars is already 20 mph higher than that of the Model S Signature Performance model.
