Tesla Model S on the road

Tesla has uploaded a video to Vimeo showing the upcoming Model S saloon being put through its paces on Californian roads.

Of course, being electric, it’s very quiet with the loudest noise coming from the tyres. The Tesla is also really striking, thanks to styling that’s good enough to rival other sleek saloons such as the Maserati Quattroporte or Jaguar XF.



Before series production begins in 2012, the Model S will complete ‘Alpha’ and ‘Beta’ test phases. Shown in the film is one of the ‘Alpha’ cars.
