Tesla test drive

My boss took delivery of a Tesla Model X over the weekend and today he let us take it out.

0-60 in 3.2 MPH fuck yeah, and fuck yeah the boss let us put our foot in it. It's like... shot out of a rail gun. It's cray. And there's no throttle delay, it just takes the fuck off. It's a wild feeling and causes you to say fuck a lot.

Automatic driving - on the highway, take your hands off the wheel and your foot off the pedals. It knows. It's got this. Want to switch lanes, hit the lane switch stalk. A really wild introduction to self-driving cars. I couldn't handle it, I grabbed the wheel and took back over. That's fine too, it lets you do that.

Regenerative braking - take your foot off the gas and you feel the car saving the energy.

Double-hinged falcon wing back doors... a center screen bigger than an iPad and ready to roll Google Maps... you don't have to close the door when you leave it, it takes care of that...

It was like visiting the future. I can't wait for the 2027 Ford Focus to offer this shit!
