Finally someone made a car that is better than one powered by gasoline. Really that is all they have to do.
Tesla Model S wins Motor Trend’s Car of the Year. Are electric cars here to stay?
Tesla Motors made history Tuesday when the Tesla Model S became the first all-electric vehicle to win Motor Trend’s Car of the Year award. Will Tesla’s honor silence critics of the electric car industry?

he Tesla Model S nabbed one of the auto industry’s most coveted awards this week when Motor Trend named the electric vehicle as their 2013 Car of the Year.
It is the first time in Motor Trend’s 64-year history that the award has gone to a vehicle not powered by an internal combustion engine.
“It drives like a sports car, eager and agile and instantly responsive,” wrote Angus MacKenzie, editor-at-large of Motor Trend Magazine. “But it’s also as smoothly effortless as a Rolls-Royce, can carry almost as much stuff as a Chevy Equinox, and is more efficient than a Toyota Prius.”
The announcement is a boost for an EV industry labeled a failure by some analysts and politicians.
