Tesla is not your typical electric car, and the way they are sold is not through typical means. There are no Tesla dealerships or dealers; you can only buy one on line, which means even the process of buying a Tesla is more eco-friendly than most other cars. At around $100,000, the car is not cheap, and even to test drive one, a $5,000 deposit is required. There is absolutely no inventory–if you want a Tesla Model S, you need to order it first, then it is built just for you, saving waste, but creating more hurdles to making a purchase.
Secondly, the Model S Performance model is equipped with an 85k Wh lithium-ion battery back that allows the car to go for over 400km without a recharge, making the auto the electric car with the greatest range currently available on the market.  The EPA’s energy consumption is rated at 237.5 W ·h per kilometre (38  kW ·h/100  mi) for a combined fuel economy of almost 90 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent, making it far more eco-friendly and cheaper to run than a gas burning car.
