Tesla Alpha Model S 2012 spec and review


Tesla Alpha Model S 2012 spec and review
The 2012 Tesla Alpha Model S is a streamlined electric vehicle designed with the ultimate performance and aerodynamic features in mind. Improved airflow from wind tunnel technology allowed the body design to be produced with heightened efficiency and range. The Tesla Model S is expected to rival other vehicles like the BMW 5-Series and the Mercedes Benz E-Class. The Tesla will be offered with a 160, 220, and 300 mile battery pack that can be topped off in around 45 minutes. Estimated cost is expected to run around $50,000. A large navigation screen controls interior features such as the radio, navigation, and HVAC controls. Six piston Brembo brakes on the front and 4 piston calipers in back are surrounded by 21 inch wheels. The Alpha Model can achieve a 0-60 time in an impressive 5.6 seconds, with a top speed of 120 mph. Tesla took its aerodynamic design seriously, even offering door handles that retract to decrease wind drag.
