P85D Reviews
Jalopnik Reviews the Tesla Model S P85D:
"The Model S is unlike anything I've ever driven and the performance is like nothing else I've ever felt.
Not just the speed, but the odd combination of tranquility and violence that really has to be experienced to be understood."
GT Spirit Tesla Model S Long Distance Review:
"My verdict? After 1,000 km of effortless driving through four countries, it was a jolt - literally -
to reluctantly return to the "old" ways of a grumbly modern diesel.
The Tesla's sophistication is unquestionable and now the support infrastructure is joining up fast
so that a cross-Europe trip needs little more planning than hotel bookings you'd make anyway."
Chicago Tribune: The D is like nothing else on the road
"The D can satisfy nearly every desire for an everyday driver: family sedan, sports rocket, all-weather confidence, top safety rating and the most user-friendly interface on the market."
"Tesla is revolutionizing the industry."
cArs Technica:
"This car makes me feel invincible."

Wait But Why: How Tesla Will Change the World

Union of Concerned Scientists: How do EVs Compare with Gas-Powered Vehicles? Better every year...
Union of Concerned Scientists:
Over their lifetime, battery electric vehicles produce far less global warming pollution than their gasoline counterparts - and they're getting cleaner.
Addressing the allegation this Model S is "coal-powered", only 0.27% of electrical power generated in California is coal.
The rest is 60% natural gas, 30% renewable, and 9% nuclear, etc., according to
the State of California's Energy Almanac.
My nearest major power station is natural gas,
and I help offset that load with roof-mounted solar panels.
What if
an electric car driver then
test drives a gas car for the first time?
Stop Hurting America
Jay Leno on Tesla:
"We've reached a point where success is jeered."
"Here's a guy who built a car company from scratch and being extremely successful with it.
I think it's wonderful. It's really what America is all about."
"[The Model S] is a brilliant car.... really well-engineered."
Jay Leno and Jim Cramer on Tesla:
"Engineers will save the world"
"I've got [a Model S]. Fantastic car!"
"I don't understand why people attack this car. It is made in America, by Americans."
"Progress is also the secret propellant of stocks .... progress is worth celebrating."
(Reasons why Wall Street Journal's response by Holman Jenkins, Jr,
to Jay Leno words above is wrong)
Racer Jack Baruth writes in
Road & Track on Tesla:
"Americans [should] be as proud of the Tesla Model S as we used to be about the moon landing or about winning the Cold War."
"[Model S] is a towering achievement brought to us by people who really do care about making the future happen in the real world..."
Rally Racer Alex Roy writes in
The Drive on Tesla:
"Tesla has made the American automotive industry great again, and for that every American should all be proud."
"Pick up a Tesla right now, and you are buying the most technologically advanced car on the road."
"... early Tesla adopters weren't fools. Pioneers, if not heroes. Without them the Model S wouldn't be as brilliant as it is today."
"This is not a right or left issue. I know as many liberals who own Teslas as I do conservatives. Energy independence is an American issue."
