And the digression on the thinking behind the name makes the article feel like a spoof.

The Model S was launched in the UK last month - given the number of marketing emails I'm now getting from them, they appear to be doing a big sales push here.

If they can pull off the whole charger network expansion thing, this will be Tesla's bread and butter car for a while.
