Video: First look and test drive of the all-wheel-drive Tesla Model S

The Tesla Model S is a new sports sedan that features an all-wheel drive system as well as the ability to go from 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds. We rode and drove the Model S through a brief acceleration course, a slalom course as well as an ice course which required the car to raise its suspension a few inches to navigate the slushy, icy mix of road. 

Apple Watch will be able to control Tesla cars remotely

Owners of Tesla's high-tech electric cars will be able to control various aspects of their vehicles remotely using the Apple Watch and companion app. The app allows navigation and control via multiple screens to monitor the Tesla's battery life and remaining range, track the car's location, lock and unlock the doors, sound the horn, operate the lights, open and close the sunroof and adjust passenger and driver temperatures. While still in beta, the app should be ready to give Tesla owners Bond-like control of their cars by the time Apple Watch ships in April.

Motoring: Tesla Model S gets 5-star safety rating

Just in case you needed another reason to justify buying a sweet Tesla Model S sedan, it just received a 5-star safety rating from the US Department of Transportation. Gorgeous, fast, electric and superbly safe, the Tesla Model S doesn't need space for a traditional engine, so it houses additional crumple zones that can absorb impact. The heavy battery pack also lowers the centre of gravity for a smaller chance of rollovers. This is good news not just for Tesla but for all electric cars in general.
