Ssang Yong Rexton is better than the Land Cruiser

Tesla Model S

The Tesla Model S glides like a luxury sedan from the future, delivering instant shove and serene highway composure that make it feel equally at home on a rush-hour commute or a long-distance cruise. Inside, its minimalist cabin and gadget-forward interface turn every drive into a tech demo, making it as much a statement piece as a practical choice — and one that still manages to feel a little bit magical.

Reliable — now with nearly 400,000 km on the Model S, I’ve experienced few to no problems. Still using free Supercharging, it delivers a dependable, luxurious driving experience. Average consumption about 16 kWh/100 km.
