Whew, this car is sexy! I am officially in love. Tesla has revealed the all-new Model S sedan and it was worth the wait. The vehicle has a 0-60 mph time of less than six seconds, a driving range of 300 miles per charge and seats seven! I know that the use of exclamation points isn’t exactly the best journalistic choice but my enthusiasm about this vehicle is difficult to restrain.

So this four-door EV has a speedy 0-60 mph time but it can also hold a 50” television, a mountain bike and a surfboard – at the same time. The cargo space in the vehicle is greater than most gas-chugging SUVs.

For people that question the ability to use a vehicle like this on a family road trip, don’t worry – Tesla addresses that concern.

“The Model S, which carries its charger onboard, can be recharged from any 120V, 240V or 480V outlet, with the latter taking only 45 minutes. By recharging their car while they stop for a meal, drivers can go from LA to New York in approximately the same time as a gasoline car. Moreover, the floor-mounted battery pack is designed to be changed out in less time than it takes to fill a gas tank, allowing for the possibility of battery-pack swap stations.”

The innovation shown by the designers and engineers at Tesla is truly awe-inspiring. The model is expected to hit dealerships in late 2011 and I hope to be among the first to own it (I still have 2.5 years to convince my husband!)
