eBay Motors to give away a free Tesla Model S (taxes not included)

By Davis Adams Updated April 21, 2014

This may be the easiest $100,000 ($102,170 to be exact) you’ve ever made.

The folks over at eBay Motors are giving away a free Tesla Model S P85. To win it, all you have to do to enter the sweepstakes is create an eBay Garage account or add a photo of your current ride to your existing profile.

Here at Digital Trends, we’re big fans of the Model S, from its sleek design and all-electric drivetrain to its exceptional build quality and killer interior technology. Hell, it’s probably fair to say that we even have a big, hopeless man-crash on Elon Musk himself.

With that in mind, there are few things we’d want more in this world than a free Tesla … except maybe this one. It’s the performance-oriented P85 model, which we’ve seen blow the doors off the new Chevy Stingray Z51 in a drag race. Yeah, that’ll do.

Just keep in mind that the taxes on your winnings are yours to pay, but that still feels like a steal to us. If you do win, though, we’ll want a ride.

Highway police in the Canadian province of Alberta chased a Tesla Model S that appeared to have no one in it. But when they eventually got to look inside, they saw two occupants apparently fast asleep, with the seats fully reclined.

The incident occurred in July, with police announcing charges on Thursday, September 17.

Tesla Model S vs. Lucid Air

Lucid Air electric car

Nothing lasts forever, and the reign of the Tesla Model S is no exception. It’s been the best all-around, all-electric large sedan since its debut in 2012, but that's mostly because it was the only one in its class until the Taycan came racing out of Porsche’s production line last year. But now, there's an American rival: The Lucid Air.

If the Air is as good as it looks on paper, the Model S will have to take a knee to the new king. We won’t know until the Air hits the production line and is tested next year, though. Until then, we can only speculate based on the information we received from its September 9 reveal. Below, we compare both electric vehicles (EVs) with the information we have on the Lucid Air so far. Will Tesla continue its dominance? Decide for yourself.

Tesla's Model S has officially broken through the 400-mile range barrier, giving it the best mileage in the electric-car market -- meaning you can turn the Autopilot on and relax for just a little while longer.

“Starting today, all North American Model S Long Range Plus vehicles have an official EPA-rated range of 402 miles, representing a nearly 20% increase in range when compared to a 2019 Model S 100D with the same battery pack design,” the electric-car company led by Elon Musk said in a message on its website.
