The Tesla Model S is like no other; it's an exclusive, powerful, all-electric luxury car, with a breakthrough interior interface, an impressive range of up to 265 miles, and a price (with a lesser range) that won't start all that much higher than where we expect the ELR's price to land.

On the other hand, the ELR does have a gasoline engine on board, so you'll never have range anxiety and have to worry about where to charge next—just where the closest gas station is.

Compared to the Chevy Volt, the ELR offers much more onboard technology, a luxurious interior, and better performance—although you'll pay the price with a somewhat lower driving range and lower ultimate efficiency, for those who can't resist running the numbers.

N/A Personal luxury gets greener than ever with the first Cadillac you can plug in.	7.4 If you can afford it, the 2013 Chevrolet Volt is one of only a handful of plug-in hybrids on the market, and among the best.	8.4 The Tesla Model S is a revolutionary electric car that blends sporty handling and lots of space, with a range of battery sizes so buyers can choose (and pay for) only the range they need.
