Tesla S

OK, the image is mostly dust sheet and bearded staffer, but the smooth nose, Aston Martin-like front wing chrome adornment and BMW 1/Audi A6-esque sculpture line along the lower door panels are not unpleasant on the eye.

The most obvious design feature though is the short nose, a handy side effect of not having to find a home for a thumping big V8.

Roll on 26 March when we get to see the rest of it... ®

No need to make room for a V8

Still need to squeeze far to many batteries in there, the tech isn't ready yet.

Also, the few minute charge times mentioned on the we won't be achieved at home. Maybe at a filling station with an insane supply though, at a cost.
