(This is a bit old, but I decided to post it still.)

"One of the most respected independent testers of consumer products found Tesla’s latest Model S, the P85D, performed so well it actually broke their ratings system.
Consumer Reports put the car through a set of standard tests it puts every car through and found the all-wheel-drive electric sedan performed “better in our tests than any other car ever has, earning a perfect road-test score.”
It somehow managed to score a 103, even though the ratings system doesn’t go past 100.
Its high scores were mainly due to its blistering performance and energy efficiency.
The P85D is capable of accelerating from 0-100km/h in 3.3 seconds, while the electricity costs to run the car is the equivalent of a petrol car that averages just 2.7 litres of petrol per 100km. That’s roughly $3.80 to drive 100km, compared to its similar in performance petrol rival, the Audi RS7 which will set you back $13.30 per 100km of driving with premium unleaded petrol." -News.com.au

My Opinion:
This is one of my favourite cars, it's great to see electric cars starting to come out and changing the way we perceive electric automobiles. In one of my past birthdays, I was inside a Tesla Model S, whilst one of the Tesla Employee's drove the car and it was exceptional. I know some people think that it will run out of juice quickly and take a long time to charge, in which I have 2 things to say: 1. Charge it during the night 2. Charging it at a Tesla Showroom is free, like free petrol, but electricity.

Here's Mr. Regular reviewing the P85, which is the model that came before the P85D. He made a point that it drives like a motorcycle. When you want to accelerate, you just go, there's no waiting for the power. Torque is always there, since it's an electric motor.
