Tesla’s Model S and Supercharger Shockwave
Elon astounded the world in 2011 by showcasing the “near-production” prototype of the Model S, a groundbreaking electric sedan that could travel 320 miles per charge and zoom from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds.
Elon challenged the naysayers with a mischievous smile, stating, “Tonight, you had the opportunity to ride a unicorn.” The Model S, priced at $75K, bridged the gap between luxury and affordability. In 2012, the car manufacturer’s superchargers emerged, offering free, high-speed charging to drivers at strategic locations worldwide. A new era had arrived.
