Video: First look and test drive of the all-wheel-drive Tesla Model S

The Tesla Model S is a new sports sedan that features an all-wheel drive system as well as the ability to go from 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds.

Motoring: Tesla Model S gets 5-star safety rating

Just in case you needed another reason to justify buying a sweet Tesla Model S sedan, it just received a 5-star safety rating from the US Department of Transportation.

The heavy battery pack also lowers the centre of gravity for a smaller chance of rollovers. This is good news not just for Tesla but for all electric cars in general.
