first Tesla Model S owner gets test drive with Elon Musk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8YN3...layer_embedded

Quote:
The Tesla Model S sedan that was unveiled on March 26 wasn’t just some concept car that Tesla Motors threw together for the launch event at SpaceX - they were actually pre-production prototypes that you can drive around and get a real feel for Tesla Motors’ second model.

Either way, CEO Elon Musk gave rides to the first paying customers (Tesla just reported yesterday it has received 520 reservations for the Model S). Steve Jurvetson, already an owner of the Tesla Roadster, was at the very top of the list of customers received the first ride.

Lucky for us, Jurvetson brought his camera along to record the experience while Musk piloted the Model S bumping some OutKast from his speakers.

My friends work for Tesla, and I haven't even seen one for myself yet (they're not being produced yet anyways)... I should have gone to Model S announcement thing a while ago...

I haven't been crazy about the whole electric car scene, but if Tesla does end up making the production model similar to this, I want one.

wow!

I want to retrofit that touchscreen into my dash

Edit: I watched the second video first. Now that I've watched the 1st Video I can honestly say that I don't like gauges ("Display Screen") being an LCD screen, hopefully they will go to LED backlit screens soon.. There is too much leakage in the area that should be completely black. Also, the cameraman is a complete douche, although I don't now how I would've reacted to being the first to ride in it, so he gets a pass .

I agree. I just removed my muffler in my sedan (still have the resonator installed) and it sounds sick!
