It was only a matter of time before a car brand got the electric car ‘right’. While not perfect, Tesla’s near perfect Model S became the best selling large luxury car in the US in 2015. Luxury car brands are expected to embrace the latest technology and now that Tesla has set the bar with non-gas performance and luxury, other brands are following suit with alternative engine flagship vehicles.
