Tesla

I drove a Tesla today. 
My brother is about to take a road trip and decided to leave his Tesla behind. In case of any emergency, he wanted to make sure that I am capable of driving the car. 

So this afternoon, I got in the most amazing looking electric car and introduced myself. I had to create a profile so the car would remember my seating preferences. Next I had to learn where the gear shift was located. After a few attempts, I got the hang of it. The amazing part was the rear view mirror and the side view mirror....which my Toyota Camry doesn't have. 

After a few minutes, I took it out to the road. I felt like a queen behind the Tesla. I had to be careful about the accelerator. Apparently, taking your foot off of it suggests that I want to slow down to almost a stop. In most cases, I don't even need to hit the brakes. That was a new concept and took me some time to adjust. 

Other than that, I think I am in love. 
Tesla feels like a plane. 
The so called “one pedal driving” is definitely something you have to get used to. With the traffic aware cruise control, I’m normally touching the pedal only once or twice per drive :)

Yeah it felt so weird at first.... but intuitive to get used to. It is the future.
