Beta Reveal (Pt. 1): Intro & Safety

After rolling on stage in a Shasta Pearl White Model S Beta, Tesla Co-founder and CEO Elon Musk shows how Model S' electric vehicle architecture and lack of an internal combustion engine makes it a smarter, safer car. Not to mention it has twice the cargo capacity of similarly-sized sedans.

@Samyaza69 Are you 12 are something? This car can go north of 450km on a single charge (I can't remember last time I did more than 300km in a single day). Electrical powertrains are made with only 3 moving parts and their expected life time are in the million km range. They also give you maximum torque within 0.2 ms at ALL times (yes, torque never goes down). Flat out, this sedan will accelerate faster than a 911 carrera and with the low center of gravity, will handle better than any other sedan

@maximusben1 :)) I don't know anything about cars? :)) In fact I do know to much to accept to drive just few km on a kitchen mixer motor.Man you cannot compare a true legend of the motorsport like Porsche with those idiots, brainwashed by Green Peace! Oh the 911 is not enough smart for you? Sorry mate, you should try Star Trek or someshit! A true man drives a petrol engine, end of it! This is for pussy and Leonardo Di Caprio to show of how Green it is!

@Samyaza69 Man, you clearly don't no anything about cars...this car is aimed for consumers that have 95%+ of their travel within the bounds of a city or the next town. Obviously if you go on road trips, this is not the car for you. That being said, this car is more practical than any other sedan, it is faster than most cars in the same price range, it has less maintenance and consumes no petrol, it is extremely stylish. Last thing: the 911 is not practical or smart and 2x the price.

@Samyaza69 man you don't know any shit about efficiency, technology and reliability.

@gunship3d man you don't know a shit about cars really!This cannot compete with a real petrol supercar. Is a bigger toy car, and that's all.Sure gets fast from 0 to 100 but the low range and long recharge time it make it useless.I prefer the smell of gas man and roaring of a real engine not a bigger mixer electric piece of shit. And how about the design?You cannot compare it with a European designed car.Is far to expensive for what gives you!Want style?Get a 911!The smartest and practical car!

@IPLAYLOUD Who said that?

This Car has a plattform developed by Tesla Motors.

[IPLAYLOUD]

It's based off a Kia Optima (I have one). I wonder how much of it is Kia, how much Tesla.

American Inovation!

@Pa3Be4uK Don't wait for the price to dop, buy this car now. Otherwise there won't be anything to buy few years later.
