Elon Musk - one of the biggest genius and inventors of the current era - came
up with an electric car that is suitable for daily use. Of course the invention
and capability to build a perfectly working electric car with a range of over
200km (124 miles) was a sensation. But it's much more than this; it's entrepreneurialspirit. The
progress and advance of Tesla's work is a genius accomplishment for humanity.
Tesla recently came up with their new model - the Tesla Model S. It's a
fully electric car with a reach up to 528km (328 miles). The engine performance
is absolutely lunatic. The Tesla Model S only requires 3.0 seconds from 0 -
100km/h.
Driving
a Tesla Model S is a statement. It stands for sophistication, eco-friendliness
and most important: advantage.
And because the Tesla doesnt produce any sound, we have decided to make our own
music. Nina is a good friend of mine, and one of the most promising talents I
know. Check out her insane Ed Sheeran rap!
Of course, it's a total mind change to drive such a car. Especially with
a very simple reason: you can't stop at the petrol station if you're empty.
Driving a Tesla presumes a certain abilty to think and plan ahead.
The easy way: you have a socket at home and you can charge your car during the night. Ideally also at your working place. The bit
more difficult situation: You have a socket at home but you want to drive
further than 400km. The tesla sat nav comes up with a few places to stop and
refill your car within half an hour
The rather difficult situation: No socket at home means you have to get
up earlier and refill the car at the Tesla Supercharger.
In my case,
it's the third option. But let me
explain why this is one of the coolest car-experience I have ever had...
The act of driving and travelling throws you into a different dimension.
It's cooler, it's less stressed. I'm saying this because I had the impression
that you win half an hour of meditation per day. Meditation in a way of
pluging-in your car, go for a coffee and read the daily news. Never ever I have
been less stressed on the road. You're getting cooler with this car.
More of my wonderful happenings during
the 4 days I drove the Tesla S: when ever I arrived somewhere, it took seconds
and 5-10 people were standing around the car to ask questions and test drive.
And it's actually what I ended up doing. I took time for each person to answer
all they wanted to know and show all of the technical supplies in this car. On
Saturday morning, I accidentially crashed into a housewife's breakfast, half an
hour later all of them wanted to take a ride with me.
What a crazy, lunatic car. I had so much fun and loads of
fantastic emotions. And trust me if I tell you
that I'm a petrol head... I love loud and fast cars, but still I'm very
confident with this electric option.
So let's talk about some more technical refinement.
It's a four-wheel drive, perfect for the mountains and skiing. The model S has space for the whole crew of Noah's ark. There are two(!) boots, the back one is just huge.
There is an extra large touch screen
in the middle of the cockpit, you can navigate simply everything there. All
sort of disturbing and unnessecary buttons have been removed. The front board
shows you all kind of information like speed, consuption and much more.
You're considering to buy it? BIG YES from my side!
