Tesla's electric Model S is a truly competitive premium sedan - latimes.com

A few quotes from the article that I liked:

Ask the folks at Tesla Motors Inc. how they pulled this off and they'll say Tesla isn't a car company. It's a tech company, headquartered in a hive of innovation that helped lure the sharp minds who conceptualized the car from an outsider's perspective.

Mash the go-pedal, and the Tesla plants you in your seat and rushes forward with eerily little feedback, save for the faint whir of the motor behind you. The addicting experience is not unlike being flung out of a giant sling-shot.

But strip away the financial drama, and all that's left is the best electric car ever made.

Another "outdated once it reaches print" article, unfortunately:

85-kilowatt-hour battery .... The battery comes in the premium version of the Model S — the only one currently produced

A quick glance through TMC or youtube makes it clear that 60 kWh vehicles have not only been delivered, but measured in various ways.

They did call the Model S "portly"
