Top 10 reason why Tesla’s Model S is the greatest car ever built

Top 10 reason why Tesla’s Model S is the greatest car ever built

Elon Musk
This guy has got to be the coolest entrepreneur the world has ever seen. He cares more about making the best product possible than he does about its bottom line profit. He is honest and open with the public about his motives, intentions, problems and solutions. He puts his own money on the line to support and defend the products he stands behind. The man is a model for what the corporate business man should be. He is a shining example of integrity in the corporate world and, best of all, in the automobile manufacturing world. Our President doesn’t have as much integrity as this guy. To say nothing of other car company CEO’s. He believes in his product and does everything possible to make it the best it can be, regardless of whether or not it’s profitable. Now that  is a man I want to give my money and support to.

IT’S THE SAFEST CAR EVER BUILT!!
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the Model S a 5 star safety rating in every category across the board! In fact, in the overall score, the car received a rating of 5.4 stars, which is one of the most received by any car, ever! It set a new world record for the lowest likelihood of injury to occupants. During the “roof crush test” the machine doing the crushing broke after applying 4 G’s of pressure, the equivalent of stacking four cars on top of the Model S. So basically, the Model S is the safest car you could buy in the world today. “But what about the fires!?!”, I can hear some people saying. What, three fires in two years? And each of them were the result of hitting something on the road. And each of them left all the passengers inside completely safe, without as much a bruise, blister or scratch. And each of those Tesla owners said they could not wait to get back into their replacement Model S. What of it? What of the 400 deaths and 1,200 injuries that happened in the over 150,000! gas powered car fires that have happened in the last year? They say about 17 gas powered cars catch fire every hour in America. You’re not hearing about any of that in the news.

Supercharging
Go on a cross-country road trip with your family in your Model S…FOR FREE!! That’s right. No more gas! For the last two years Tesla has been busy installing supercharging stations all over America. All completely solar powered, producing more energy on average than they consume, and all completely free. FOREVER! Not to mention the fact that they charge your car from empty to full in around 20 minutes. Yeah. Chew on that for a while. AND, as charging technology improves, charging times will decrease exponentially. The day will come, in our near future!, where you will charge your car to full in the same amount of time it takes you to fill up your tank today.


 265 plus miles on a single charge
So far the record for longest distance traveled on a single charge is 423 miles. Though Tesla’s officially stated range for the 85kw battery is 265 miles, the car is known to go 300 miles on a full charge easily! And apparently under the right conditions much, much further. Plus, with supercharging stations expected to dot the country every 200 miles within the next two years and battery technology improving leaps and bounds year by year, it won’t be long before the idea of “range anxiety” will be a non-issue.

0-60 in 4.6 seconds
Instant torque. Instant acceleration. 100% of the drive-trains power instantly!  It’s so amazing. The simplicity of the model S’ engine system is so beautiful. I cannot get enough of this car. Just looking at every inch of it inside and out is an awe-inspiring feat of engineering. These guys really have made the greatest car on the planet. Which is exactly what they set out to do. And they have done it way beyond anyone’s wildest speculations of what could be possible. If you don’t know about the details in the construction of the Tesla, I highly recommend you start digging. Im sure you will be amazed.


17-inch touch screen display
Duh!!! Operate everything in your car from what’s basically an ipad mounted to your dashboard. Duh. Someone was going to do it eventually. It just makes sense. What doesn’t make sense however is that no one else has gone on to do it again. The latest version of every other luxury sedan has nothing anywhere near that kind of technology on its dashboard. What’s up with that!?! It’s obviously doable. It’s obviously awesome. And it is obviously where all cars will be in the very near future. Why are all the other car manufacturers sleeping on this progress? It makes no sense. It makes no dollars either because Tesla is ten years ahead of every other car on the market. Why would we buy anything else?

Instantly heat the cabin FROM YOUR PHONE!!
Since the Model S doesn’t have an engine that needs to warm up, you get interior heat instantly. If you’re inside your house on those cold mornings and don’t want to get into a chilly car, just open up the Tesla app on your smart phone and adjust the heat to your desired temperature. Boom! Instant warmth. Not to mention that you can control any of the car’s other settings from the comfort of your own phone.

No dealerships. No salesmen
Tesla has done away with the dealership, much to the chagrin of the rest of the auto industry. Tesla has chosen to go the way of the storefront to educate the public about its fabulous products. Stroll through your local major mall in your local big city and you may find a Tesla store. Looking as sleek and simple as a Mac store, the Tesla store is the only place you can go to speak to an actual human representative. You can sit in the car, take one for a test drive and pick the brain of a knowledgeable rep to satisfy all your curiosities. The Tesla blows minds, and you have to see it to experience it.

The car sells itself, and the cars owners are its greatest salesmen
Nearly every Tesla owner will tell you it is the greatest car they have ever owned. From the instantaneous engine response, to the simplicity and ease of the electronic controls, to the unprecedented support, care and assistance that you get when dealing with the company, Tesla has it all. Anything you have to do with this car or the company behind it will leave you feeling like you are a part of something truly revolutionary. It feels like it should feel. Dealing with people that care about you, your experience and the satisfaction. There isn’t another car company on the planet that will treat you as good as the people at Tesla.


No more gas!!
Seriously, gas is ancient and outdated. Not to mention the fact that the oil industry has not been doing humanity or the planet any productive favors for the last hundred years. It is a system run by men who have subverted progress in order to sustain profits and whose entire existence hinges on the suppression of new technologies that threaten its own future. It is long overdue for an overhaul and many have tried. Within the last hundred years there have been cars powered by hemp oil, vegetable oil, alcohol, electricity and even water. All fully functioning, easy and practical solutions, and ALL suppressed by the oil machine. That's not cool. Besides, who actually enjoys having to stop for gas?
