TCC’s Bottom Line

It’s expensive, but the Porsche Panamera proves that old saw about getting what you pay for.

Growing old though it is, the Tesla Model S still looks and feels as fresh as when it first debuted eight years ago.

TCC Likes

Any-speed composure
Decadent interior
Practical (!)

Handsome, elegant exterior
Brutal acceleration
Comfortable ride

TCC Dislikes

Phenomenally expensive
Optional fifth seat is useless
Overwhelming lineup

Interior feels lacking for price
Tight rear-seat entry/exit
Features may come and go due to updates
