Bottomline If Tesla Motors’ promises—and government funding—come through, the Model S sedan stands poised to meld sports sedan driving, comfort and utility, and zero-emissions in one revolutionary package. The 2009 Tesla Roadster delivers jaw-dropping green performance and handling in a classic open two-seater, but the aggressive driving it encourages may cut range to less than 200 miles.
