Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA) continues to heat up the stock market and is now offering a new model and new colors. The Tesla S 70D comes in three new colors; Ocean Blue, Obsidian Black, and Warm Silver. All colors are now available on any variant of Model S.
A Tesla press release said, “the cost of owning a Model S 70D comes to about $55k over five years (the average length of new car ownership).” When asked how that figure was computed a Tesla representative said the figure was calculated as “a rough look at the cost savings over 5 years of ownership (average ownership of a car) that includes Federal and State incentives and gas savings when one factor in the cost advantages over an internal combustion engine vehicle.”
Model S 70 D standard features include:
All-wheel drive Dual Motor
70 kWh battery with EPA-rated 240 mile range
0-60 mph acceleration in 5.2 seconds

The cheaper 70 D, dual-motor = all-wheel drive, has a 70-kilowatt battery that allows for 240 miles of driving range per charge and a zero-to-60 mph time of 5.2 seconds according to Tesla. The 70D comes standard with the components necessary to fill-up at the Superchargers that are growing around the Nation.
