Tesla Model S gets Detroit charged up

Most people know Tesla for creating the Tesla Roadster: an electric car that resembles a Lotus Elise and can accelerate from 0-60 in less than 4 seconds.

As cool as the Roadster is, It was Tesla's Model S that caught people's attention at the Detroit Auto Show,  as well as the announcement of the Model X.

The Model X will be Tesla's electric powered SUV, and while it is still in the beginning stages (Tesla wanted to do the Model S first) just the idea of it is helping to turn Tesla from a one-off car company to a legitimate car maker.

The Model S is a little bit closer to production.
