How Fast Is The Tesla Model S?

Tesla’s flagship sedan is doing a great job of stealing away customers from the likes of Porsche, Mercedes, BMW and Lexus just to name a few.  

But it’s more than the environmental benefits of never touching another drop of gasoline that motivates so many people to Get Out and Go electric with Tesla.

The Model S is defining what it means to be a performance electric car, and an increasingly mainstream one at that.  This video of a Model S drag racing a 2014 Corvette C7 Z51 is proof that EV’s can make going green a whole lot of fun.
