Last Saturday brought a new member to our family \u2026 after almost a year wait, we have a new Tesla Model Y Long Range to park next to my Model 3 Performance. So, it\u2019s goodbye to our beloved AMG-equipped Mercedes.<\/p>\n

While the M-B still is a fantastic ride, it feels like an anachronism when you drive it \u2026 as though you\u2019ve stepped back to an earlier time when gas powered cars reached their pinnacle. I\u2019m so surprised even though I\u2019ve been driving an electric car for only a year, that the Mercedes feels so old. It didn\u2019t when I ordered my first Tesla. Is this what people felt when they got their first telephone instead of using mail? Regardless, the difference is stunning \u2026 despite the power of the M-B, it feels amazingly slow and more like a museum piece. I assumed I\u2019d be going for Tesla\u2019s $2000 optional \u201cacceleration boost\u201d, and I was wrong. I\u2019m having a bit of worry thinking if everyone had a car this quick, there\u2019d be more accidents until folks realized they had to use more common sense. This kind of power was previously only reserved for sports cars … even the so called “supercars” \u2026 and this is a \u201cgrocery-getter.\u201d OMG!<\/p>\n

This 2022 Model Y has the new upgraded computers, so I may be ordering a new Model 3 Performance with the upgraded computers, after seeing how amazing it is. It\u2019s essentially using the chips normally used in gaming rigs, so it\u2019s crazy fast. No other car in existence has ever had this level of computing power before. Incredibly smooth screen, responsiveness and sheer speed of performance reminds me of an Alienware laptop more than a car screen. While every car tester\/reviewer complains about the screens for every<\/em> other electric car, Tesla again shows the world how it\u2019s supposed to done. The performance difference between the Porsche screen and Tesla is laughable. The screens in VW\u2019s and Toyota\u2019s are almost unusable in comparison.<\/p>\n

While I\u2019m a sports car \u201ckinda\u201d guy, I have to admit this Model Y may the most perfect everyday car.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0If you can only have one car, this should be it. No wondering it\u2019s already sweeping the world as the best-selling car in many countries. Not electric car, but best-selling car, period. A digital car for a digital world …<\/p>\n

Musk says that the upcoming truck will be truly game-changing \u2026 I can\u2019t even guess how much better it\u2019ll be. Interestingly, while picking the new \u201cY\u201d up, I met a guy getting his fifth new Tesla and he has SIX trucks on order. Tesla cars seem to breed these kind of people \u2026 true believers. I wish I could jump a decade into the future and see what Musk has done.<\/p>\n

The Germans have a new special phrase now \u2026 “Teslageschwindigkeit” … translated, it\u2019s called \u201cTesla Speed\u201d, which means the future is coming in on Musk’s schedule \u2026 and he has his foot planted to the floor of a speeding Tesla. Somehow, that expression makes sense on several different levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
