Top 10 New Luxury Cars

A big challenge with electric vehicles has always been range. Tesla has dealt with this by employing bigger and better batteries in the Model S than have previously been seen in electric vehicles. Even with the smallest batteries in its most basic trim, Tesla claims a 300-plus-mile range for the Model S, easily besting the range of any of its potential competitors.

While the engine in the E350 is small,...
