And Tesla’s Model S sedan is proof that luxury and efficiency are not utterly incompatible. This large four-door can seat up to seven and offers a number of advanced features. It’s rear-wheel drive, is equipped with a single-speed transmission and its bodywork is fashioned of weight-saving aluminum. But perhaps more impressively, when properly equipped its electron-powered drivetrain can propel it from a standstill to 60 miles an hour in just 4.2 seconds. With the standard 60 kWh battery pack it offers 208 miles of range and a combined fuel-economy rating of 95 MPGe, which is short for “miles per gallon equivalent” since you can’t pump a gallon of electrons into a battery. It also stickers at 94 MPGe city and 97 highway.
