Has anyone been in a Tesla? This past week myself and two daughters had a chance to be a passenger in one and were explained how everything works from my relative who own it. It is an interesting vehicle and accelerates faster than any car I have ever been in.
This is the "frunk."
Jessica and my relative after their ride.
The car is completely controlled by the computer screen. Just to the left of the screen, and above my youngest daughters hand, is the switch to put it into gear. It works as easy as a turn signal.The roof which you can see a part of is almost completely glass. While waiting to charge or at any time when it is in park you can play various games by using the steering wheel. A second player in the passenger sear can play using the buttons on the bottom right.
Jennifer playing a game. They are strange games. Not one I would be interested in.
My relative explaining everything to us in the below photo. If you plan a trip it will automatically steer your car off route when you need to charge and drive you right up to the charging station. With a supercharger you can get 200 miles in 15 minutes. Or you can charge overnight at you home. Him and his wife traveled part of the country recently and slept in the car most nights. The seat folds down and you can run the air conditioner all night and obviously the car is not running.
He took us for a drive and when he took off it pinned us all to the back of the seats. Video soon, even though it does not really give you the true sense of how fast it was. When pulling out in dirt the car barely slips. The computer keeps that from happening.
This shows the charging stations across the country. We noticed there is one in Marlton near the Apple store.
Jessica stayed back while all of us went for a test ride, and then she got in and I stayed back. As they pulled back into the driveway I ran at the car to see if it would recognize me. My kids said it did but on the screen it thought the trash can near me was a motorcycle for a second. He drove all the test drive with no hands except to turn around and to turn into the driveway. It will not turn into driveways, yet. If you have a problem, in let's say a construction site, you can report it and they can upload all of your data, and also get construction zone data from other cars and can compare them. If they fix the problem that day, or whenever, it will update and the problem is solved. Hopefully. He did say there are times when the car sees something that is not there and the car will switch lanes. If there is a car there it will brake. He said I should never tailgate a Tesla as they will stop on a dime at any random moment. He purchased the Tesla because the company he works for gave all employees a $5000 gift to buy an electric car. They are promoting electric vehicles in Vermont and the governor just signed a bill to have the state gas free by a few decades from now. It is the future.

Do you have a cell phone? Who/what/where is constantly transmitted by that even if you aren't in the car. Privacy died a number of years ago and we all just have to deal with it, because it's never coming back.
