    Tesla's been teasing us with the Model S electric car for what seems like a cruelly long time. But, we gadget fans need to remember that designing and releasing a car is a rather different prospect than something like a phone.

How do we know? Well, we got to come along. Join us for our impressions after the break.%Gallery-135957%
