They built the Model S from the ground up specifically to be an electric car. This means every engineering decision was made with the idea of optimizing the E.V. experience.
For instance, you know that notable 265 mile range that is one of its biggest selling points? Well that requires huge and extremely heavy batteries. But instead of this added weight being a disadvantage for the Model S, Tesla made use of it as it best could for an automobile -- it drastically lowered the center of gravity. This, in turn, gives it the excellent cornering ability that the car buffs are all talking about.
Regardless of what field you're in, this is a great example of turning your disadvantages into advantages. Great engineering.
