The Tesla Roadster is the first commercial all-electric car, produced in 2008-2012. The Roadster was discontinued, as Elon Musk considers its concept "fundamentally unsuccessful".
Nevertheless, this is the first production vehicle launched beyond the Earth. The test flight took place in 2018 - Tesla Roadster went into space on board the Falcon Heavy.
The Roadster is a two-door convertible with rear-wheel drive. This Tesla auto was able to surprise with progressive technical stuffing for its time, a bold streamlined design, and an unusual interior. This premium sports car is designed for four people. The Roadster differed from subsequent models by its non-standard futuristic steering wheel. The central panel also housed the company's proprietary multimedia system with a large touch screen.
The Tesla flagship ranks third in acceleration among all production cars - 2.4 sec from 0 to 60 mph. The Tesla Model S is highly praised by owners and experts. This comfortable five-door hatchback is produced with both rear and all-wheel drive. Tesla manufacturer releases regular updates to the Model S and does not plan to discontinue its production.
The Model S also leads in safety - it received high scores in NHTSA crash tests for frontal, side, rear impact, and rollover. The Tesla Model S took 99 out of 100 points in the testing by Consumer Reports. Then it was proclaimed "the best of the cars CR ever tested".
In the P100D modification, the Tesla Model X electric SUV has become the fastest crossover ever produced, featuring a maximum speed of 163 mph. This is an all-wheel drive five-door luxury SUV with an optional third row of seats. The distinctive feature of the Model X is the "Falcon Wings" - doors that open spectacularly upwards. Today, the Plaid and Long Range versions are available in the Indiana market.
The manufacturer is constantly improving the characteristics and the battery capabilities. The Model X immediately became the favorite of connoisseurs of extraordinary design and loud innovations. This is also one of the most spacious crossovers - the car can accommodate seven passengers. The basic configuration offers six airbags, climate control with two operating zones, air suspension, xenon headlights, and a multifunctional steering wheel. This Tesla also features a multimedia system with a 17-inch touch panel and premium sound.
The Tesla Model 3 is a universal four-door sedan and the first electric car for mass use. Economical but equipped with the latest technology. In the Standard Range Plus version, the Model 3 has rear-wheel drive, and in the Long Range and Performance modifications - all-wheel drive.
Memorable but simple design is another calling card of this Tesla’s car. The Model 3 is free from a bulky radiator grille because EVs do not need a huge cooling system. All this allows designers to achieve a streamlined body shape and a high comfort level in the cabin.
The same spirit of minimalism reigns inside. There is simply no dashboard or mechanical system. The capabilities of the Tesla Model 3 are supposed to be controlled from a large (15-inch diagonal) touchscreen on the center console. It also functions as a multimedia system and has a projector for displaying information on the windshield.
The built-in electric motor pleases with almost silent operation and excellent power. To the above, it is worth adding such advantages as a panoramic roof, rear-view cameras, eight airbags, standard navigation, dual-zone climate control, and alloy wheels.
In the Tesla lineup, the Model Y crossover stands between the luxury X SUV and the budget sedan Model 3. The Model Y has a spacious interior, ideally prepared for use in the cold season and harsh regions. The manufacturer is constantly working to increase battery power and update the exterior.
In general, the Tesla Model Y is a practical five-door crossover. The Standard Range version has rear-wheel drive, and the Long Range and Performance modifications are all-wheel drive. The Y Model borrowed the design and the signature interior from the passenger car line. The Y mid-size electric crossover differs from its "big brother" luxury SUV in its more laconic design for five people.
Like the Model X, the Tesla Model Y is a premium electric auto. Therefore, even its basic version can pleasantly surprise a connoisseur of comfort and innovation. All external lighting equipment is entirely LED. The car has eight airbags, a full power package, comfortable seat heating, and a climate control system with fine settings. The future owner will also estimate electronic assistants, a media center with a 15.4-inch touchscreen, and a premium audio system.
