Model S won again one car prize. This time it was an international green car prize, not much competition there! The Jury commented:
"The Tesla Model S has wowed the world's press, and for good reason: It's a car from a startup maker that actually competes on its merits with vehicles from established global players. The Model S is fast and stylish, its high-end models offer more range than any other electric car, and thus far, it appears to be well-built and selling well. Now that it's in volume production, it can be argued that it is already the world's most alluring green car that's also practical and desirable." "There have only been two pure electric cars with a sensible range, and both have been made by Tesla. Its Roadster would go at least 180 miles and the Model S a lot further than that. It also seats up to seven, is almost supercar swift, swoopily styled and recharge time apart and absurd width apart as practical as a family sedan. It's not cheap, but certainly isn't expensive for what it does." http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/and-now-there-is-one-tesla-model-s-declared-2013-world-green-car-200452081.html —Jouni On Mar 29, 2013, at 11:15 PM, "Jones Beene" <jone...@pacbell.net> wrote: > The Tesla S, at its present rate of sales (500/week) is outpacing the > Volt... despite its higher price and the lame story from the NY Times ... > > http://cleantechnica.com/2013/03/28/tesla-500-model-s-cars-per-week-expandin > g-in-us-canada-europe/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Fe > ed%3A+IM-cleantechnica+%28CleanTechnica%29 > > This is remarkable in many ways.
