Video Summary
Here's a summary of the electric car review video:- The review focuses on the range and speed of charge of the Tesla Model S 100D, as these are the most frequently asked questions about electric cars.
- The Tesla Model S 100D was charged to 310 miles of range on a supercharger in London before the road test.
- The car drove over 280 miles before it needed another charge because there was a supercharger at that destination.
- A 100kWh battery will likely become standard in cars in five years.
- Five and a half to six hours of continuous driving is unhealthy.
- Electric cars are quiet and there is no engine noise when driving, so what you hear is the surroundings instead.
- This model has autopilot 2, however, the Autopilot is not activated in the car. It has sensors and cameras all around.
- This Tesla has all the "gubbins" or trimmings of a luxury car. The fit and finish of this car is a step ahead. It has a carbon fiber dashboard that is an improvement compared to wood polish. The powered charging door, which you no longer need to shut, does this function for you. The rearview mirrors automatically fold in, and there is also a powered tailgate.
- The front trunk is smaller than that of the Tesla Model S 85, due to a dual motor system.
- You are supposed to press the hood of the front trunk on the sides, not the middle, to close it.
- The car had a range of 328 miles, after using 312 kWh. It has a fast charge rate at 150kW.
- Electric cars provide a zero-cost driving experience if solar panels are installed to charge the vehicles.
- The regeneration feature is also really exceptional. And with dual motors, energy is captured and charged during deceleration from both front and rear wheels.
- It is an amazing car to drive.
- To get the 100d, Leonardo Dicaprio had to also pay full price, which costs £95,600.
- The car has the 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds.
- Overall, the reviewer coveted this model over his, and calls the tesla "fantastic."
