I showed up to work early this morning because the sun is coming up earlier and earlier, and I figure there’s no point in sleeping when that big yellow ball has been up working since 5:30. When I sat down at my desk, my boss told me a car hauler was parked across the street. That’s not unusual; this particular stretch of road has soft shoulders and fairly light traffic, so it’s popular with truckers, especially local drivers. This truck, though, was loaded down with a bunch of Tesla S models, set to be delivered at a local car lot. Well, I had to go check it out, and that’s just what I did. See for yourself.
What is the collective noun for Tesla? A bevy of Teslas? A bond of Teslas? Whatever it is, this hauler was loaded down with the quickest lead sleds money can buy (so I’m told). I’m not a big fan of electric cars, but these Teslas look great, especially up close. There’s more than a hint of XJ about them, to my mind.
Check out the bottom of this one; perfectly smooth and flat. That’s a real, working diffuser at the back. Adrian Newey, are you taking notes?
These cars are much bigger in person than you might think – they are a full-sized family sedan, after all. I’m seeing more and more of these Teslas in this area; I see three or four on my way to work each morning, so electric cars have clearly taken hold in some segments of the high-end sedan market. How about you? What do you think of these silent giants?
