    Spruce Up Your Snacks One of the best things aboutthe theater experience is the delicious snacks. Butyou can make what you eat at home just as good byputting a modern spin on old favorites. For example,once your popcorn has cooled, add M&MS to give ita colorful, delicious new look.

    What ses o r foot to start, gets to 60mph in4.2 seconds and req ires no gas to get aro nd?This sho ld be an eas one... The Tesla ModelS. Tesla Motors expands its promise b adding additional ModelS S percharging stations in Florida. A sedan from a Californiabased compan keeping promises and changing the wa wethink abo t a tomotive travel.

    I dont need to get into the man awards and praises receivedfrom not onl jo rnalist worldwide, b t owners as well. Beingthe worlds rst mass prod ced electric vehicle, the Model Scatches the e e of man . Being the second model from TeslaMotors, the Model S is the worlds rst premi m sedan con-str cted from the gro nd p as an electric vehicle and has beenengineered to elevate the p blics expectations of what a pre-mi m sedan can be. Get the idea? At the heart of Model S isthe proven Tesla powertrain, improved from the Tesla Roadster.

    The powertrain was developed to deliver both exceptionalrange and a thrilling driving experience. The Model S offers the

    responsiveness and agilit expected from the worlds best sportscars and at the same time providing ride q alit of a l x rperformance sedan.

    The compan started back in 2003 with a concept, seen impos-sible b most to re-think what is not j st possible, b t environ-mentall friendl . As compared with comb stion engines, one of the challenges the Model S faced was range. Sitting beneath the

    oorboard for a lower center of gravit , Tesla Motors developedthe most energ -dense batter pack in the ind str with best-in-class aerod namics for a sedan. Giving the Model S an EPA ratedrange of 265-milesthe longest range of an prod ction electric

    vehicle in the world; prod cing an impressive 443 po nd-fof instant torq e, propelling the Model S Performance to 6as little as 4.2 seconds, with the base model getting to 60 in5.4 seconds. If o have been sing a cell phone in the pa5 ears, o can drive this car. The to ch screen is ver lacoming in at 17 inches; the men s are eas to see and provlot of details abo t vehicle feat res and operations.

    Tesla Motors contin es to deliver with the la nch of two mnew Model S S percharger stations on the so thwest coasFlorida. Tesla invited local Model S owners to the grand op-ing, providing food, vehicle charging, pdates and informadetails. One of the new S percharging stations located at tG lf Coast Town Center Mall in Fort M ers, the other in PSt. L cie, not too far from a wonderf l golf co rse. All arclose to man amenities to make either o r visit or daila breeze. The other S percharger stations are located in MTampa, Da tona Beach, and Orlando.

    These S percharger stations allow Model S owners to travel freeof charge in the state of Florida and soon from state to state asTesla installs more S percharger stations thro gho t the co n-tr . All stations are located near man convenient amenities; be-ing strategicall placed to permit owners the abilit to drive fromstation to station with minimal stops. The S percharger stationsare s bstantiall more powerf l than an technolog to date,providing p to 120 kilowatts of power. This will allow Model Sowners to charge their vehicles in 20 min tes to half capacitor abo t 150 miles of range. Tesla fast-charging stations will beabo t 100 to 120 miles apart. Located within major metropolitanareas and Tesla Motors aim is to have more of these stations ona national level within the next few ears.

    What does this mean? For one o can se o r Model S formore long distance designations witho t sta ing close to homefor recharging. Second, owners now have the abilit to se it fordail comm ting in their local comm nit . Drive to a location, dosome shopping and before o re done o r vehicle has addedrange. It cost o nothing to drive it! No gas, no oil changesand tons of space. Its j st an amazing car At the time of thisarticle, Tesla demonstrated a q ick batter change option.This option allows a Model S owner to p ll p to a designatedlocation and receive a complete batter change in less than 2min tes. This demo was to indicate the capabilities and ease of

    se of the Tesla Model S.

    As batter technolog gets better, it ma be possible to providec rrent owners a higher capacit batter for increased range.The same as what o wo ld do to increase the talk time on

    o r cell phone.

    Later this ear Tesla Motors will be promoting a pre-release of the Model X. The Model X is an all-wheel drive famil crossovercompletel designed for the SuV segment. Expected to have thesame range as the Model S, b t at a m ch more competitiveprice this SuV is designed with what Tesla calls Falcon doorsfor rear passenger entr and exit and seats 7 ad lts with thecapacit to hold a f ll assortment of l ggage or groceries. Antici-pated to have the same range and responsiveness as the ModelS and acceleration nder 5 seconds, co pled with S perchargingstations makes this the next famil SuV.

    Tesla Motors has come a long wa since the Roadster and hshown a commitment to its owners and interested parties.Tesla Motors has taken a concept and has bro ght it thro gcompletion, b f ll nderstanding and listening to its band common ever da iss es. Tesla Motors creates vehiclare not onl l x rio sl appointed, room and fast b t isto se as o r cell phone or iPad.

Tesla is contin ing -pand the S percharger network to provide free, convenient long distance travel for Model S owngoal is to enable c stomers to drive their Model S wherever the wish to go; between Boston anLA and New york, or Vanco ver to Phoenix- with ease and convenience.
