Mayhemm So was the audience already aware that Model S had won COTY, or was it a surprise "reveal"?�
Nov 18, 2012
jcstp The members of the forum had suspicions, but where not warned about it!
We just connected the dots and concluded it was possible�

mlascano The Jan 2013 MT magazine with the Model S as winner of COTY on the cover is on stands now. Nice piece of history

TheAustin I still want to know why a respectable publication like Motor Trend would Photoshop a rotation/motion effect onto wheels that are CLEARLY not actually moving...Especially when those wheels are one of the most visually iconic details of the Model S!�
Dec 13, 2012
Todd Burch ?!? Not to be disrespectful, but why does it matter? How does that impact the publication's integrity?�

strider I think it was very well done. Nice response to the infrastructure question.�

NotTarts What annoys me about some publications (Motor Trend included) is that they treat the Model S options as different cars entirely. With other cars they might say "Base price: $60k, Configured: $95k", whereas when listing the Model S Performance they say something like "Base price: $95k, Configured: $96k" rather than listing the true base price of $58k. I think this might be the reason why a whole bunch of people think the Model S is a $100k+ car when that really isn't the case.�

vfx I don' t disagree. But probably no other car has every been offered with three different sized gas tanks. Certainly no car has had three ranges before. A new language is necessary.�

brianman I don't think a "new language" is necessary here. Let's take an example.
2013 BMW 3-Series Prices, Specs & Reviews - Motor Trend Magazine
BMW 3 series.
$36,500 - $60,800
Wouldn't they say "base price $36,500" even though there are 12 different engine flavors?�
Dec 13, 2012
NotTarts The different battery sizes are dissimilar enough in terms of range and fuel economy to justify separation. I can agree with that, and Motor Trend's website thinks the same way, listing the Model S base price as $77k and going up to $105k with options. But something like a Performance or Signature models? They aren't different cars at all, just the same car with a more powerful powertrain or added features.�
Dec 14, 2012
strider It was because they tested a Sig and in that case the base price is $95k or whatever. If/when they test a GP car they can list the base at 57,500, as-tested, whatever. One could also make the case that the Perf model is unique. When they test a BMW M5 they list the base price of an M5, not a 528i.�

Lyon While I'm sure it's uncommon, there are vehicles that come with different size gas tanks depending upon options selected. For instance, the 1/2 ton Suburban comes with a 30 gallon tank while my 3/4 ton has a 40 gallon version.
To my mind the cleanest way to discuss Model S is to say that it comes in four variations (40, 60, 85 and Performance) and to simply leave the Signature series out of it. They've been sold out for months.�

EdA OK, stupid question but if you win in one year are you excluded from the competition the following year?
What's up with the 2014 COTY award?�
Dec 2, 2013
mknox I believe the award is only for new or significantly changed models, not every car that is for sale.�
Dec 5, 2013
Mayhemm Mike has the right of it. Only new/redesigned cars qualify. Tesla's next shot will be COTY 2015 with Model X. Or perhaps the oft-rumored AWD Model S.�

gavine I love MotorTrend
I have always been suspicious that magazines reward companies who advertise with them by giving them the accolades and I have to say that I'm not only impressed but also grateful that MotorTrend apparently doesn't do this because Tesla doesn't advertise. I may not have had the courage to buy a Model S had it not won the MT Car of the Year award.
Here's hoping the Model X wins too.
I see Tesla mentioned in MotorTrend news all the time too. Keep up the good work MT!�
