Have you ever noticed that electricity is made out of gasoline?Not so much.The only defect of an electric car is that its electricity is made out of gasoline and it is slow.People start to find out that electricity is made out of gasoline and they switch back to gasoline cars.Gasloine cars are ten times worse than electric cars.They emit so much that the Earth's core is going to crumble because of nasty emissions.
Just a typical day in the life of an 8 year old….I went on a test drive of the Tesla Model S P85. All I can say is this car is legit! The Tesla can go from 0 mph to 60 mph in 4 seconds flat, that is just as fast as any sport’s car out there. Charging your Tesla is as easy as charging your IPhone or Kindle, just plug it in overnight and the next day you are good to go - no gas needed. You do need a 220v outlet but it charges 30 miles every hour. The Tesla has turned your electric car into a Luxury item and it is totally awesome. There is no actual key just a remoteness entry system to the car, it senses you and the handles automatically slide in and out of the car. Since the car has no key, to start the car you press the brake and it turns on. The electronic gadgets and functions inside are so sweet! On the dashboard there is a giant touchscreen just like an IPad that runs off the built in Wi-Fi and it controls everything from the remaining battery life, gps, temperature gauges, and even your favorite music. Another really cool this is that Tesla has an App that will let you control everything with one touch from outside the car. You can turn on the headlights, honk the horn, start the car and even turn on the AC or heat. One final thing that most people don’t know is that the Tesla has a “frunk” aka a front trunk – since there is no engine under the hood there is lots of extra storage space. More pictures to follow tomorrow.
*******A special thanks to Mr. Del Campo for letting me test drive his Tesla and introducing me to it’s awesomeness! While we are 8 yr olds, we have the brains of Albert Einstein, and we understand all you car geeks. So when you read an article or watch a techy car mumbo jumbo video that no one can make sense of, we will break it down so that a toddler can understand it too. Don't trust us, watch this video: Guess what, the electric car guys are paying attention to us too... Turns out we got invited to a Tesla test drive.... Next blog look for a inside look into a Tesla. dun dun duuuuun.-
When I woke up, I felt like bigfoot trying to get through a small door - my own idiom for laziness:). It was going to be yet another boring day. I decided to wake my brother and sister upand take a ride for our monthly haircut.
When we got to the salon I had to wait for my turn ,so I went and got a magazine. I saw my favorite electric sports car on the cover. I muttered,"wow". I read everything about the BMW i8 electric car. Finally, I heard someone say,"Aman" I said,"o gosh"- it was my turn to get a haircut. After the haircut, I was walking on the sidewalk when BOOM! I saw a BMW i8. Was it for real? Was I day dreaming? Bewildered, I said, "Dad I think I see a BMW i8. He chuckled and said, "yeah right". I looked at him like he was ignoring me(which he actually was.)"Look for yourself instead of saying "yeah right", I said. He finally looked and said,"Wowwwww". Now how many times this actually happens... You think of your favorite Car and BOOM its in front of you - Never! Well I take that back.. here is the proof... Watch this sick video first! One day, we saw a blue Nissan Leaf (similar to the one below) parked in the Principal's parking spot. We were baffled about how it got there. Later that day, at the assembly we overheard our Principal talking about how to go Green and keep the environment clean. Now what has that to do with Nissan Leaf? The Principal was trying to be helpful to keep the environment clean and hence bought an electric car?
So, we went on a little Wikipedia/Google expedition to figure out the difference between Gasoline and Electric cars..... Want to know more? Read our next blog on "The real argument: Electric Vs Gasoline Cars".
