Model S First Drive Reviews

[yngwie_2012]

I found another nice video of model s being tested. ALthough i didnt understand much of the conversations (its finnish), the mimics of the tester tell me that they loved it.... )

Test: Tesla Model S - Autofil Magazine - YouTube

[ohh]

But it's true - they did love it

 

[yngwie_2012]

But underneath of the video there is something about tyksland? isnt that finnland?

 

[ohh]

Tyskland = Germany

…Which kind of makes a big difference since about 14,75 million more people* can more or less understand what they are saying (as opposed to if they were going on about it in Finnish). :love:

*Namely people living in Sweden, Denmark and a about quarter of million people living in Finland as it were. And perhaps also those living on Iceland and the Faroe Islands. Ok, and some on Greenland as well. :wink:

Tyskland = Germany

yeah, i just noticed it, but somebody from this forum posted it on twitter, saying being tested in finnland. LOL...Can a tweet be edited? Or tweeted is tweeted ??

Found this a funny comment on the page...

"Very nice. Happy to see that you got the Tesla Model S in your garage Jay, It's a good or probably the best electric car on the market after the Chevy Volt. I'm actually planning on buying one as a gift for my Uncle and a Volt for my Aunt. When I get a chance because of my tight schedule with training and recording because I'm an Martial Artist and Musician (Artist) I plan on going over to a Tesla dealer to check on out. Instant torque." Clearsky786

Are you kidding me? 'After' the Chevy Volt? Not sure by what criteria, more likely someone who just doesn't know much about the Model S... yet.

Apparently the market for kung-fu musicians is doing very nicely. Good luck finding that Tesla Dealer....

Looks like there were two Model S in the Garage.

Yeah, looks like a blue test car and Elon's black car.

Comment on Jay Leno's Garage:

It's a good or probably the best electric car on the market after the Chevy Volt.

... since when is Volt part of the "electric car" market rather than the "hybrid" market?

"Volt: The best EV that's a hybrid..."?

Hmm... going by the comments, the Brits (except our own nickjhowe who's fighting the good war along with Brian H and others) are seemingly very ignorant of this whole Tesla electric gee whiz thing.

Please don't lump us all together! The Tesla Roadster I drive daily; Kevin Sharpe; David Peilow; the Electric Vehicle Association Scotland; and many others collectively say that some Brits are very on board with EVs.

One thing common to all Brits: When questioned, they stress their individuality! :biggrin:

Guess the TC couldn't cope with his heavy right foot at 2:35. Sideways on the freeway ramp...

It was a wet road. I could see that coming!!

That was fun to watch, but I'm guessing traction control was off. Nice to see how easy it was corrected, didn't even leave the lane.
