# Sleek Electric Sedans $50,000 Tesla Model S Goes From 0-60 in 5.6 Seconds By Bianca | Published 2009-03-27 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-model-s-pictures References: [uncrate](http://www.uncrate.com/men/cars/hybrid/tesla-model-s/) & [teslamotors](http://www.teslamotors.com/) The [Tesla](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucid-air-grand-touring-performance) [Model S](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/track-mode) is *the* luxruious new sedan for eco-lovers; the electric car may not be as sexy as its older sister, the Tesla [Roadster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-tricera), but it certainly is a whiplash-worthy city flitzer for the green crowd! Its QuickCharge function will have it rarin' to go in only 45 minutes (while you're having dinner, getting ready for a night out or catching the latest episode of 30 Rock) for a 300-mile range. It goes 0-60 in 5.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 120 mph. "It offers a 5-minute battery swap and charges from any outlet, with charges costing as little as $4 to 'fill up,'" Uncrate explains. "Features include (taking deep breath) a 17-inch infotainment touchscreen with all-time 3G connectivity, 21-inch wheels, Brembo brakes, panoramic roof with sliding moon roof, retracting door handles, a hatch for large items and a 2nd trunk under the hood, a fully digital instrument cluster, LED and neon headlight and taillights, and a pretty crazy RFID keyless entry and ignition system." Look for it in 2011. Until then, check out the gorgeous Tesla Roadster. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Electric Vehicle Luxury:** There is a trend towards luxurious electric vehicles that offer high performance and eco-friendly features. - **Quickcharge Technology:** The QuickCharge technology allows for fast charging of electric vehicles, making them more convenient for consumers. - **Advanced Features:** Electric vehicles are incorporating advanced features such as touchscreen infotainment systems and keyless entry. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive:** The automotive industry is seeing a disruption as luxury electric vehicles enter the market. - **Technology:** The technology industry is involved in developing advanced features for electric vehicles, such as touchscreen infotainment systems. - **Energy:** The energy industry is being impacted as electric vehicles gain popularity and require charging infrastructure. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Breakneck Speed Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucid-air-grand-touring-performance.md) - [Powerful Alternative Electric Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drako.md) - [Luxe Long-Range Electric Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedes-eqs.md) - [Premium Sporty Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-taycan.md) - [Stylish Concept Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-cla.md) - [Everyday Luxury Electric Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volvo-es90.md) - [Professional-Grade Sedan Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/track-mode.md) - [High-Powered Electric Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-bev-sports.md) - [Affordable Sleek Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/equinox-ev.md)
