An Electric Car Beats Its Own Record

Tesla Motors established a new record with its electric car design in the testings of

Consumer Reports, which had to adjust its scoring system since the analyzed model

surpassed the normal benchmarks.

The original Model S sedan scored a 99 out of 100.

The new Model S P85D rated a 103.

The new type possesses many improvements over the previous plan, but Consumer Reports did discuss a few minor problems concerning the differences of the

two.

An Electric Car Establishes a Higher Benchmark

After the alteration of the scoring system, the Model S P85D ended up with a 100.

The ratings now compensates for the new all-time

high.

The electric car accelerates from a standstill to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds.

This sports a two second advancement over the previous Model S.

Regardless of the automobile’s raw innate power, Consumer Reports focuses a majority

of its opinion on a vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

Tesla Motors even has intentions of increasing the production amount of its

manufacturing plants.

However, a few problems exist.

The car evaluated by Consumer Reports costs well above $100,000.

Tesla Motors resolves to build a more affordable type that roughly hits a $35,000

price tag.

With competition in mind, the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord hybrids cost about $5,000

to $10,000 less.

Also, there remains the presence of Lithium.

It stays as a finite resource, and it counts partially to the expensive cost of Tesla

Motors’ electric car batteries.

Hopefully, StoreDot of Israel can resolve the battery concern with its new techniques in

the works.

While only important for a luxury car, field testers of Consumer Reports complained

that sound in the cabin appeared loudly and the insides did not come across as

comfortable as the previous Model S.

Ambitions for an Electric Car

The Tesla Model 3 continues as the budget version of the Model S P85D.

Its itinerary includes a 2018 release.

Hopefully, the vehicle might rate similarly in driving experience, performance, and safety.

I only know a limited amount about Tesla Motors, so I hope that it also keeps a good range of reliability when compared to the

most popular models of Toyota and Honda.

Still, Tesla Motors proves that power can integrate with efficiency.

As a student, I can’t afford one, but I can certainly admire it.

I personally plan on eventually owning a Toyota Camry of some sort.

By that time, maybe an autonomous vehicles can compete with the elegance of

an electric car.
