Tesla Inside: The Land Rover Defender Gets an Electric Makeover

From the outside this Land Rover Defender looks like any other-example of the postwar British classic that conquered the African outback-and the automotive worls's heart.But when I step on the accelerator, my own heart_jumps. The Defender charges like a lioness on a wildebeest's scent, slaying 60 miles per hour (almost 100 kilometers per hour) in about 5 seconds. That acceleration is so out of character for this doughty old truck, and so fun, that I'm forced to do it again.
