Is this how predictable Apple has become?

I honestly didn’t see this one coming. Who knew that one of the most in-depth “real world” reviews of the Tesla Models S would come from an internet cartoonist?

Detailing in infographic form, no part of the car is left unmentioned, and what would normally be droll automotive talk (or lies if you watch Top Gear), is handled with the wit and charm we’ve come to love. Seriously, topics range from acceleration, to battery range, charging solutions, the name of the car, and he even addresses the recent fires.
