The Ride You Can Feel Good About

THE NEED FOR SPEED Y
ou like the finer things in life. The best wines. Perfectly tailored clothes. An impeccable home. So when it comes to your car, you want luxury, too. But you’re also aspiring to lead an eco-friendly lifestyle. How can you feel good about your carbon footprint driving around in a Maserati or Porsche? However, the alternative—today’s hybrids—aren’t exactly hot. To help reconcile your need for style and speed with your desire to protect the planet, we introduce the exquisite and truly remarkable Tesla. Named after the electrical engineer and physicist Nikola Tesla, the American car company Tesla Motors designs, manufactures, and sells 100 percent electric cars. That’s right: Their cars are completely electric, with no tailpipe, no gas tank, and zero emissions. This is a trend-setting car that is more than comfortable in the company of those other luxury imports. Tesla currently offers three models. The Model S is a sports car meets sedan electric car with three different-grade battery options (it can travel up to 300 miles per charge!). The Model X is an SUV style family car with “falcon-wing” doors that open up rather than out, allowing you to park in even the tightest of spots. Not to mention that the door-wings look amazingly cool and futuristic. The Model X even offers a third-row seat that is easy to step rather than crawl into. The larger Model X offers two battery-grade options, at different price points.

The Tesla Model S
And finally, there’s Tesla’s ultimate sports car, the Roadster, the jewel in the crown of any sports car enthusiast’s collection. Also in the works at Tesla is a “generation three” electric car. While the three models currently available come with higher-end price tags you’d expect from a cutting-edge luxury car, the newest model set to debut in several years will retail for less than $40,000, and could truly change the way Americans drive forever. Sounds amazing, right? But just how does this super-hot car work? You can simply charge your Tesla in your garage every night so it’s ready to roll the next day, the perfect plan for the around-town driver as well as the commuter. Those taking a road trips in the Model S can take advantage of Tesla Superchargers, charging stations strategically built in 75 locations throughout North America. Half the battery can be charged in as little as 20 minutes, enough time for you to have lunch and then be on your way. (There are already five Tesla SuperCharger stations in Arizona alone; the number of stations is expected to grow significantly in the next few years.) If you’re in the market for some hot new wheels, why not take the Tesla for a road test? Not only will it turn heads with its sleek design, but you’ll be doing a good turn for the environment. And did we mention it scored the highest safety rating in America in all categories? So go ahead and satisfy your need for speed … and feel good about doing it.
