Is the Tesla Model S a Good Car?
“Good” really undersells it; the Tesla Model S is an outstanding car. It has better acceleration than almost any car on the road, it’s far more nimble than many large cars, and it gets the excellent efficiency you want from an EV. It also has a much longer range than most other electric vehicles.
On top of that, the Model S has a stylish, well-built cabin. Both rows of seats are spacious, as is the cargo hold. Unlike most sedans, the Model S has an available third row. It also offers an impressive array of tech features, including the famous Autopilot system. Should I Buy the Tesla Model S?
The Model S deserves strong consideration from luxury large car shoppers – even those who aren’t EV fans. If you are an EV fan, however, the Model S is about as good as it gets.
