Electric Cars under $40,000, Tesla Model S
EVEN THOUGH THE Tesla Model S has been on the market for a while, Tesla’s first sedan is still one of the most advanced vehicles on the road. With a usable range of up to 370 miles and the ability to charge quickly and often, Tesla makes it relatively painless for drivers to go electric. It takes about 12 hours to charge fully from a 240-volt connector. Public Superchargers are also available and can add up to a 50 percent charge in 30 minutes or so. That’s a significant (and exclusive) benefit for Tesla owners. Electric Cars under $40,000, Tesla Model S
The Model S rides comfortably, carves corners with precision, accelerates like a catapult, stops on a dime, and glides in a whisperquiet manner. It also has two trunks and hatchback versatility. All-wheel drive comes standard. Even getting into the car is an experience: Approaching the car makes the flush aluminum door handles slide outward. With the car-shaped fob nestled in a pocket or purse, a tap of the brake pedal brings the Model S to life. There’s no need to start an engine or release an emergency brake, and overthe-air updates can add new features to existing vehicles.
The large center screen serves as the gateway to many of the car’s functions. It is highly configurable, but it also proves distracting. Other downsides include just so-so interior fit and finish, a rather snug rear seat, and hampered rear three-quarter visibility. Apple CarPlay compatibility and a true blind spot warning (BSW) system aren’t available, and the Model S’ high price puts it out of reach of many shoppers. Reliability is below average, too.
It’s also important to remember that Tesla’s Autopilot is a driver assist system and does not make the Model S a self-driving car. That’s still the case even if owners pay for an option that Tesla calls Full Self Driving.
