Tesla Model S Safety Ratings, Diesel Luxury Cars: This Week In Social Media

When the new guy achieves something great, there will always be haters. But what happens when that new guy touts his achievement beyond the allowed guidelines? Tesla [NSDQ:TSLA] is the new guy in this scenario, and the company did just that this week in a release about the NHTSA's 5-star safety score for the Model S electric car.
In other news, diesel is becoming a big deal in the luxury car segment, particularly from the Germans. We drove both the new 2014 Mercedes-Benz E250 BlueTEC and a range of Audi TDI models. But it's not all diesel fun and games in the luxury segment: Mercedes-Benz also revealed its new 2014 S500 Plug-In Hybrid, while BMW previewed the Concept X5 eDrive Plug-In Hybrid.
Meanwhile we drove the 2013 Honda Fit EV, and found that while it may only be a compliance car, it's one heck of a good electric car anyway.2014 Audi A8 TDI
