Get acquainted closer with Tesla Model S

Today become the owner of the "car of the future" is quite simple. The main thing — to have available the required amount of money.



It is worth knowing that the nearest one HUNDRED for a car of this brand is located in Austria, and to insure the "Tesla" is impossible in our country. There is another problem – the lack of gas stations, so you can charge the battery in two ways:

— from a home outlet (charging will take 15 hours);

-from a special charger, which will have to pay $1200 (charge 6-8 hours);



On the charging station the battery is recharged fully in just 30 minutes. In the United States also include replacement of dead batteries to fully charged.



The Model S is available in three versions with batteries of different capacities. The most expensive is a P85+, with a battery of 85 kilowatt/hour, can travel more than 400 kilometers at a maximum speed of 190 km/h.

Model S for the European countries is equipped with an additional package for cold weather: heated seats and steering wheel and a heated zone of peace wipers. Even at temperatures of -20 e electric car travels well and the battery is almost not reduced.



The battery, weighing up to 550 kg, the Model S has a low center of gravity, which allows high clearance adjustable up to 20 cm

To increase the aerodynamic properties of the door handles are automatically hidden in the door. When the driver approaches his car, he finds it and pushes the handle. No facial recognition, it's in the radio on the ignition key. By the way, for the movement of the key is not needed — the Model S starts from pressing the brake pedal.



The Model S cabin is trimmed in natural leather and carbon fiber. On the dashboard you can find only two buttons — alarm and opening the glove compartment.

The usual shift lever no. There is nothing to switch – Model S have only one speed.

All the mechanical controls were collected from the steering column.



The dashboard itself is made in the form of a display, which displays the necessary information for drivers. Instead of the tachometer displays information from the ammeter.

Setup and control are made via a 17-inch touch-screen display, which is located in the center of the torpedo.



Using the display you can control the clearance, adjust the brake and steering control, display, GPS Navigator, to control the climate in the cabin, etc. Even the sunroof is controlled via virtual buttons. The operating system used Ubuntu.

The display can be divided into two parts. For example, the top can display the car settings and lower passengers are shown a movie. Model S alone upgrade the software via Wi-Fi.

The car is equipped with sensors which constantly monitor all the items. In the event of an accident the battery is disconnected. Generally Model S is one of the safest cars in the world. Even during the movement of the tracked position of the driver and passengers, at the right time all the safety systems worked optimally well.

To the first hundred Model S accelerates in 4.4 seconds. We all used to press on the gas pedal and hear the roar of the engine. In the case of Tesla it's not so – there is no sound. Deathly silence. Gearbox no, the Model S immediately responds to pressing the gas pedal. Brake pedal while driving you can not even use it — it is necessary only to release the "gas", how is the engine braking.

As already mentioned, underneath the battery, this means that the center of gravity low, even at speed of 80 km/h can make a snake. Model S is cornering without roll. In the back row can easily accommodate three adults — legroom abound here, as there is no Central tunnel. And additionally, you can order a seven-seater version child seat in the trunk and as the trunk you can use the "underhood space".

Here it is — the future!
