  • Buy TSLA Stock.

  • This is how the future looks? I will walk for sure...

  • indicator-/windscreenwiperstic­k and cruise control stick from a mercedes! (left to the steering wheel)

  • Nice!!!

  • The wiper hitting the A-pillar <

  • I wanna work for Tesla.

  • Ok so you are driving a car that is absolutely silent! Could you please STOP TALKING !!!!!

  • @TedSe7en Why? So you cant listen the engine sound? The car dont have engine sound dude, chill.

  • @boogiebuddy01 It is safe

  • I am so unbelievably envious of you that you got to drive the car. I have to wait until this fall to drive mine. ;-)

  • That wood looks tacky... but that's my only complaint!

  • @04smallmj That is why I am getting carbon fiber :)

  • @MrLivePositive8 Good choice lol

  • @04smallmj ironically its not wood, its banana tree.

  • @Udamasta Isn't a tree made out of wood? :P

  • same gearshift as the gl, ml, e, and cl. maybe mercedes is behind this master scheme?

  • @zubiee22 The production car won't have this. This is a prototype.

  • Is this car sold outside U.S.?

  • @zoomingvictor later this year they will be (mid 2012). However, there's a waiting list, so realistically, you're looking at early 2013 before the "average Joe" can get one. Check there website (Tesla dot come) to double check me though.

  • great name of the car!!!

  • @boogiebuddy01 nothing. Nobody is stupid enough to design electric car that isn't waterproof. You can even drive it through puddles up above the wheels without issue.

  • Who's going BWARK! BWARK? :D 

  • The new revised interior is ugly, reminded me of those 1970s kitchen cabinets. and appliances trying to look futuristic.

  • I'm wondering about the drivers seat, I'm around 6'7-8" and have had problems fitting in regular cars. whats the situation in the Model S?

  • Fuck you people are dumb if you think that the the screen is there so that you can keep your eyes on it while driving.

  • dump the wizbang electronics in the cockpit - eyes on the road please.

    That screen has no business in the car.

    Oh I see - crash due to onboard distraction and buy another. Great business model. NOT

  • @y22tim dude, arguing that having the screen there is dangerous while driving is moot. Anyone can send a text message while driving and they'd be equally guilty. Most mid-range modern cars have a screen, albeit smaller in size.

    You don't blame the 'screen' is drivers aren't eyeing the road. You blame the driver. This is applicable to any distraction of any nature - therefore, the person, and not the tool, is to blame.

  • @y22tim I find the electronics amazingly useful. Great idea. Lots of businessman tools to play around with while sitting around. Entertainment for the passenger. Yeah, heaven forbid the passenger has a play around with the LCD whilst the driver focuses on the road, or that the driver pulls over to use the software.

  • @y22tim are you paid by the oil companies 

  • How's the ride? did you hear a lot of tire noise? How bout the bumpiness?

  • @kkjgg112391 - It was totally silent (the rain was louder than the tires). I was especially curious about engine noise and handling. The latest Motortrend wrote: "Interestingly, while the motor is quiet, its growly roar is a very different acoustic signature than the frenetic whine in the Roadster. Tesla claims that's just how it sounds, and no acoustic modifications have been attempted."

  • @kkjgg112391 - Regarding suspension, I was on smooth pavement, so no bump test, but I can say it handles really well with the weight of the drive train (batteries + motor) below the wheel line. It should be able to corner unlike any gas car.

  • @jurvetson Very nice... It sounded like some sort of an electro magnetic blah3 when you try to close your eyes lol

  • Reading online magazines while driving. :)
