Tesla Model S P85D 2015 review: head twisting

Electric vehicles. We knew for years that they would come, but we probably didn't expect them to show up in Silicon Valley and not in Detroit.

While there are a number of electric vehicle options on the market right now, the daddy of them is no doubt Tesla – after all, who do you want to buy your cars from? A guy you've never heard of, or a guy who makes space rockets?

While car manufacturing isn't rocket science, it's still tricky. How good is the range? Can you live with this machine like it's "normal"? We took a typical weekend afternoon trip, added some drama to it with a "secret mission" to deliver a "special package" to Brooklyn Tuckshop, and had a long talk about the various qualities of the car.
