Never even heard of the new Model S till I drove by it on my way back to work, on Albany-Shaker Rd this afternoon. It looked like a charcoal color, and as it was approaching me, I was just like, WTF is that?! :wow The headlight design with the daytime running light LED’s is very sleek. As it passed, I tried my best to get a look at the badge to figure out who made such a beautiful car, and after searching briefly … found it. I almost thought it wasn’t a performance car at all, considering my windows were down and it was quiet as it passed me. I guess I know why. :lol ![http://images.thecarconnection.com/med/2013-tesla-model-s_100412524_m.jpg](http://images.thecarconnection.com/med/2013-tesla-model-s_100412524_m.jpg) Yup, cool story bro. It was a sexy car, I want one. ---

Looks very Jaguar/Aston Martin- ish. Is this model electric? ---

It comes with 3 different batteries for different power. [http://www.teslamotors.com/models](http://www.teslamotors.com/models) Funny you mention that, because Jaquar’s website was the first I went to thinking it may have been a new model, but no headlights were anywhere near what I saw, that was a dead giveaway. ---
