Only July 10th, 1856, Nikola Tesla was born. More than a decade and a half later, his name is so easily associated with electric current that they even named the coolest electric car brand in the world after him.
The Model S has plenty of performance on tap and is available in two slightly different stages of tune.
Official figures suggest the 60 kWh version has a 208 mile range and gets from 0 to 60 mph (98 km/h) in 5.9 seconds, while the 85 kWh model has a range of 265 miles and gets from 0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds.
That's what the official figures say, but DragTimes info has tested the two against each other at the track and showed us just how much of a difference there is in power. The 85 did the quarter mile in 12.3 seconds at 111.7 mph, while the 60 does it in 13.7 seconds at just 102.8 mph.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
