Top 5 Reasons To Buy a Tesla

The Tesla doesn't look much different than most luxury sports sedans from Europe or Japan, but the big difference is the sound that the car doesn't make and the stellar performance that will leave the other sports sedans behind when the light turns green.
Much has been said about the unique characteristics of the Tesla, but owning one has not really been much of a consideration for typical sports car enthusiasts. The instantaneous acceleration, ample power and respectable range are about to change the way most traditional performance car purists think about electric cars.
There are now more reasons than ever to own a Tesla and these five reasons are sure to top just about any list.

1. Performance

Tesla Performance
The Tesla might be silent, but it certainly can be deadly when it comes to putting super sedans in their place. Performance results from the Tesla Model S are astounding. The 416 horsepower electric engine is capable of generating 443 pounds of torque from 0 to 5,100 rpm with enough get up and go to leave a BMW or Domestic V-8 gasping for air. In an independentDrag Times test, the Tesla recorded a solid 0-60 mph time of 4.4 seconds and went on to post a quarter mile best time of 12.371 seconds while reaching 110.84 mph at that distance. This is quite impressive performance from an electric car that weighs just under 4,700 pounds.

2. Environmental Impact

Tesla has zero emissions
Let’s face it, most people are not buying a Tesla for performance alone. The big draw to owning the car is the ability to reduce one’s carbon footprint. The car has zero emissions and does not even use a gas powered engine to recharge the battery. In order to make things more convenient for the operator, the batteries can be charged at a rate of 29 miles of range per hour of charge. The batteries themselves are rated to last at least 8 years before the environment impact of replacing them has to be considered. On top of all that, the car is pretty good at reducing noise pollution and doesn’t need a throaty sound to prove it is worthy on the road.

3. Range

Tesla 265 mile range
Much has been said about the lack of range and poor charge capacity of most electric cars. The Tesla “sets the bar for electric driving range” with its 85 kWh battery. The EPA 5-cycle certified range is a remarkable 265 miles, making it more than just a commuter car or a toy for the weekend. This kind of range makes the car very practical, especially considering the battery is backed by an unlimited mileage 8-year warranty. This all-electric range is quite impressive for not only an electric sports car, but for all electric cars out on the market.

4. The Technology

Tesla touchscreen and driver command center
The Tesla Model S puts many of the car’s functions at the fingertips of the driver. The dashboard and digital instrument cluster is highlighted by a17″ touchscreen that integrates media, communications, cabin controls and vehicle data or feedback to the driver. Access to the internet, Google maps, online HD radio and even USB connectivity are all features of the central touchscreen device. The car also comes complete with a backup camera and Bluetooth enabled phone with hands-free voice control for a safer ride.

5. Fringe Benefits

Tesla Demand is High
The car is attractive, but not overly aggressive or exaggerated. It has a refined appearance, but one of the bigger benefits of buying a Tesla is that it is a car that is in demand. It will not be a car that will be parked in the driveway next door or be the second car parked in the valet at the local bistro. The Tesla is still a limited production car that is going to raise a few eyebrows wherever a driver wants to take it. All of this to go along with its lightening fast acceleration and 130 mph top end speed, makes this a car that can contend with most of the world’s best gas guzzlers.
