The Tesla Model S isn't just good "for an electric car." It's not just worth the price "once you factor in government tax credits." It's a car that's easily worth every penny of its admittedly hefty sticker price and, as a bonus, it has no tailpipe exhaust or engine noise. It's powerful, a thrill to drive and it has an amazingly capacious interior. It won Motor Trend's "Car of the Year" award last year and Consumer Reports called it the best car it had ever tested.
Yes, there are those fire headlines. The Model S can, on occasion, catch fire if you run over a pointy metal object at high speed but, even then, the fire starts slowly and after ample warning. Other cars have this liquid stuff called gasoline. Have you seen that burn?
