Driven to Dream:Tesla Model S -The Beginning of The Automotive Revolution

Tesla finally delivered the long anticipated Model S. The Model S is perhaps one of the most sleek, stylish, and revolutionary vehicles to hit the market in the last decade. When I saw the Model S for the first time it shattered any preconceptions I had about an electric car. First time I sat in the Model S, I was impressed with the clean, sleek and spacious design.  The craftsmanship and tailoring that went into the interior design is manifested in every detail. You sense the passion and thought. This machine was something more than I could imagine.
