Test-Driving the Tesla Model S

摘要

When I accepted the invitation to tour Panasonic's new North American headquarters in Newark, N.J., last month, I expected long tours of 4K screens and enormous LED displays. I thought I'd see some slick new appliances, maybe a stack of batteries on display somewhere. I was not expecting to find a Tesla Model S parked out front ready for a test drive. I shouldn't have been surprised, though. Panasonic has been working with Tesla since 2007, back when Elon Musk's start-up electric car company was more pipe-dream long shot than anything else.
