TESLA MODEL S QUICKCHARGE

EV Channels Review

Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield provides an initial, unedited impression of the Tesla Model S P85+ at the Millbrook Proving Ground. Despite a minor alignment issue from a previous incident, the reviewer is highly impressed, particularly with the car's agility and responsiveness, likening it to a "little city car" despite its size. The "feather light" steering, adjustable settings via the large touchscreen, and impressive regenerative braking are highlighted as key positives. The car's performance on the hill circuit is described as "awesome," with exceptional grip and acceleration even on steep inclines. While acknowledging the lack of a full review, the "Quick Charge" format captures the essence of the Model S as a benchmark for electric vehicles, praised for its range (111 miles after spirited driving) and its wake-up call to other manufacturers. The reviewer notes the intuitive interface and comfortable ride, even for rear passengers, concluding that the Model S is an "enigma" that is "amazingly good" and sets a new standard.
