The +Tesla Motors Model S fell short of the label range of 265 miles but probably could have managed it at lower speeds. Like its Roadster predecessor, the Model S offers tremendous performance but in a much more practical package. However, both this range and performance come at a price point few of us can afford.
The more "accessible" $50K version will only go half as far and won't accelerate as rapidly, although performance is more than adequate.
