Car Style - The Tesla Model S

The car: Tesla Model S



According to Tesla's official website ( http://www.teslamotors.com ), the Tesla Model S is a sedan that has a 300-mile range and a 45-minute QuickCharge. The car's starting price of $49,900 includes a $7,500 US federal tax credit. What you're getting for the money is a sporty sedan. I'd like to think of this as an electric daily driver that can handle day-to-day duties in the city, while also doing as little of a dent on the environment.



Up front, the car has bold styling. I'm almost reminiscent of maybe a Maserati Granturismo. The big grill up front bears the Tesla emblem. The headlights are sharp and mean looking. In fact, if you look at the car from up front, this car looks like it's mad at the world, and ready to be uncoiled to attack. It is meanly designed up front, but beautiful. Its character up front resembles a ferocious beast, but is overall angelic and beautiful. It's aerodynamic appeal is both aggressive and beautiful at the same time. The roof of the car is a panorama moon roof. The sides of the car are very beautiful. A lovely set of wheels compliment the tires as this car goes by. It somewhat has a hatchback The loveliness extends to the rear with a minuscule lip on the trunk/boot lid. The tail lights have sweet and sharp styling, almost like recent Buicks.

From the inside, the car is both stylish and elegant, but also high-tech. The center console is very high tech. Its interior character is very different. The inside is somewhat its own high-tech rocketship. If Tesla wanted to give this car some luxurious character within, I would have liked to have seen an almond interior with some wood trim accents. I've seen some interior pictures of the Tesla Model S featuring an almond interior. But I would like to see a mix of almond with wood trim for an elegant touch.



Overall, the Tesla Model S is a car that looks like it costs even more than its almost $50K asking price suggests. This car looks like it could be almost double or even triple its price. The big grill up front coupled with its mean headlights suggests a very mean sedan. Despite the aggressive nature of its front, the overall style of the car is swoopy and elegant. Almost as if it can be only so aggressive. The car is very tech-savvy considering the massive center console's design. That center console is basically its own personal computer. Overall, this is a beautiful car from Tesla.

If I had my way with this car, I'd like to imagine either a touring car or maybe a GT-type version of this car. This car is elegant and beautiful. I also imagine what it would be like if Tesla wanted to make a racing version of this car to compete in GT racing or in touring car racing. BEAUTIFUL car. Need I say more?
