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.-
