Tesla Model S begins first phase of road testing [w/video]


The last time, Tesla Motors released a video on the S model, it was too much talk of the company Vice President and Chief Engineer of Automotive Engineering, Peter Rawlinson, and engineering of the vehicle. Today, new video shows exactly the opposite. No call, just pretty pictures.

Almost eerily still, the video shows the first alpha build Model S (t details about the car here) cruising down country roads, and it is a beautiful sight. The car looks like it handles well and we need to get behind the wheel makes yesterday. Tesla's cars Dynamicist (we guess thats fancy talk for a test driver?) Graham Sutherland said in a statement that:

      The first alpha is surprisingly agile for a car this size. It has very good handling and balance ready ride with communicative steering. Just goes to show what can be achieved combining a low center of gravity with a very stiff body structure.
