Empilweni yami evamile, ngishayela iHyundai Sonata yangowezi-2011. Inesidlali se-CD esibonakala sakudala kanye nebhokisi, isistimu ye-GPS eyakhelwe ngaphakathi ebingaba ubuchwepheshe obuphezulu kakhulu ngesikhathi uqala ukuthola u-Adele. Ingaphakathi limbozwe uthuli oluncane lwemvuthuluka ye-Cheerios, futhi kune-patina ye-sunscreen njalo ngoJulayi kuya kuSepthemba.
Kodwa lapho abantu bakwa-Tesla bephakamisa ukuthi uboleke iModel X (eqala ku-,000) bese ugibelela umndeni wakho ngempelasonto, awubheki ihhashi lesipho emlonyeni walo ozishayelayo. Futhi kwaba njalo ukuthi umyeni wami nezingane ezimbili sazithola sine-Tesla P100D yohambo olulodwa olukhazimulayo oluya emzini kamfwethu eMaryland.

UJillian QuintIzinto zokuqala kuqala: Iyini i-P100D? Kujabulele ukubuza. Njengawo wonke ama-Model X kaTesla, iyi-SUV esebenza ngogesi ngokugcwele, futhi lena inebhethri elingu-100 kWh elinikeza cishe amakhilomitha angu-300 ububanzi. Ngamanye amazwi, ngesinye isikhathi ngaphambi kokuthi ushayele amamayela angu-300, kufanele uyixhume ukuze uyishaje (ngaphezulu kwalokho kamuva). Iphinde ibe nobuchwepheshe bokuphepha obumangalisayo, okuhlanganisa ukugwema ukushayisana, ukubhuleka okuzenzakalelayo kwezimo eziphuthumayo kanye nesihlungi se-HEPA sezinga lezokwelapha ukuze kukhishwe impova, amagciwane kanye nokungcola—uma kufanele ukhathazeke ngezinto ezinjalo ngenkathi uqhumisa I-Moana ithrekhi yomsindo njengoba wehla nge-New Jersey Turnpike. I-P100D iyi-Tesla ethandwa kakhulu kuze kube manje, ikakhulukazi ngoba ikwazi ukusuka ku-0 iye ku-60 amamayela ngehora ngemizuzwana engu-2.9 (ibizwa ngokuthi i-Ludicrous Speed, ezwa sengathi iqondiswe kungenasidingo kubafana abaneminyaka engu-19 ubudala) futhi inamandla aphelele okuzishayela. , sibonga amakhamera angaphandle ayisishiyagalombili, izinzwa ze-ultrasonic eziyi-12 kanye nekhono elimangalisayo lokudweba imizila ngisho nokuzifaka ezindaweni zokupaka. I-TLDR: Kuhle kakhulu ukusebenza kahle.
UJillian QuintNgakho-ke kunjani ukushayela eyodwa? Ngizoba qotho kuwe. Ngingumshayeli okhohlakele owake wacekela phansi i-fender ngokuhlehla emgqonyeni wokulahla imfucuza. Ngakho-ke angizange ngibambe iqhaza ekungeneni ngemuva kwesondo lemoto ebiza ngaphezu kwakho konke ukufunda kwami ekolishi leminyaka emine. Konke okusho ukuthi, ngangivumela umyeni wami ukuthi ayishayele, nge-caveat engizame ngayo ezimweni ezingezona ezesabekayo, futhi saxoxa ngayo yonke imininingwane enamanzi. I-crux? Kuhle! Uhambo lushelela futhi isitimela samandla siyaphendula, nakuba ukuntuleka kwemisindo yenjini nokunyakaza (indlela imoto engeyona ekagesi ezonyonyobela ngayo lapho udedela unyawo lwakho kubhuleki) kuthatha ukujwayela.
Cha, kodwa ngokomzwelo , kuzwakala kanjani? Uzizwa ucebile. Uzizwa ubalulekile. Uma uqaphela abanye abashayeli bakwaTesla endaweni yokupaka ye-Whole Foods, unqekuzisa ikhanda ngendlela esikisela ukuthi cishe nizotholana phezulu e-St. Barts kulobu busika. Uma nibathathu, njengendodana yami, nicabanga ukuthi Emuva Kwekusasa iminyango ye-falcon iyikho konke. Uma uyimina, ucabanga ukuthi bagqama kakhulu emigwaqweni yaseSilver Spring.
UJillian QuintIngabe uyazishayela ngempela? Yebo, nakuba ngokobuchwepheshe ibizwa ngokuthi i-autopilot futhi ngokobuchwepheshe injalo isigamu -ukuzimela (ngenxa yamakhono e-software kanye nemikhawulo kahulumeni edinga ukuthi umuntu enze umsebenzi omncane). Noma kunjalo, lapho sesisemgwaqweni onguthelawayeka, savula isici se-auto-drive futhi sathola ukuthi i-Tesla yayizibophele yona ngokwayo emotweni ephambi kwethu, yehlisa lapho leyo moto ihamba kancane futhi isheshisa ngokufanele. Ungakwazi futhi ukuyithola ukuze wenze ushintsho lomzila ngokuphephile, ngokuvula isignali yakho. Umyeni wami oyimbuka wenza aphucwe amalungelo akhe okuzishayela (by imoto , hhayi mina) ngesinye isikhathi njengesijeziso sokususa izandla zakhe esondweni izikhathi eziningi kakhulu. (Kwadingeka adonse, avale imoto aphinde ayikhanyise ukuze abuyiselwe.)
Futhi kuthiwani nge-Ludicrous Speed? Sikuzamile. Kwakwethusa. Kunesizathu sokuthi ngiqhubeke Izwe Elincane kuyilapho wonke umuntu eseNtabeni Yendawo.
UJillian QuintYiziphi ezinye izici ezinhle? Ngiqala ngaphi?! Nokho, njengoba ingekho injini, wonke ama-Tesla anento ebizwa ngokuthi i-frunk yokugcina isitoreji. Sasisebenzisa eyethu ukuze sihlalise isambulela sethu. Kukhona nesikrini sokuthinta esiqondakala ngendlela emangalisayo kudeshibhodi, esingakusiza ukuthi uzule uye ezindaweni oya kuzo neziteshi zokushaja futhi uvumelanise nohlelo lokusebenza lwe-Tesla oluhambisanayo...engangivame ukulusebenzisa ngokunyenya ukuphakamisa umoya ngaphandle kokwazi muntu. Into engiyithanda kakhulu, nokho, kungaba iwindi elikhulukazi eliyi-panoramic, elifinyelela ophahleni, lenze ukubuka kwesihlalo esingaphambili okucishe kufane nokungabi bikho emotweni nhlobo.
UJillian QuintIshaja kanjani? KULUNGILE, nansi ingxenye ekhohlisayo. Ukushaja imoto kupholile, kodwa akufani nokukhipha umoya. Bheka, iningi labanikazi be-Tesla bafaka isiteshi sokushaja esingu-240-volt egaraji labo, elingashaja imoto yabo kancane, ubusuku bonke. (Uthola cishe amakhilomitha angu-31 ububanzi ngehora ngalinye lokushaja.) Kodwa uma, njengami, uthatha i-Tesla yakho usuka eBrooklyn uya eMaryland, ngeke ube nokunethezeka kokushaja ngobusuku obubodwa futhi kuzodingeka ume emgwaqeni omkhulu kwaTesla. ama-Supercharger angu-480-volt, asebenza ngokushesha kakhulu—futhi angaletha ibhethri elicishe life ekushajweni okuphelele emizuzwini engama-45. Ngokombono wezobuchwepheshe, lokhu kuyamangaza, futhi uma unemizuzu engama-45 ukuyikhahlela esitobhini sokuphumula se-Molly Pitcher, akusiyo into enkulu. (Ungakwazi nokulandelela inqubekelaphambili yokushaja ngohlelo lokusebenza.) Kodwa uma ufuna ukuba sendleleni maduze, kuyacasula kancane. Siphinde saba isisulu salokho okwaziwa emhlabeni jikelele wezimoto zikagesi njengokukhathazeka kwebanga—uma ulinda isikhathi eside ukuze ushaje bese uzithola uzama ukuzulazula esiteshini esilandelayo Sokushaja Okukhulu ngaphambi kokuba imoto ife. Kufana nokuba ngumuntu osephathini ofuna indawo yokuphuma ukuze ayixhume ocingweni lakhe...ngaphandle kokuthi awukwazi ukulishiya iqembu uma ungayitholi.
UJillian QuintFuthi ingabe i-Tesla ilungele izingane? Lesi bekuyisizathu esenza ukuthi uTesla afune ukuthi nginikeze iModel X isivunguvungu kwasekuqaleni: Ukubona ukuthi iyahambisana yini naleyo #momlife. Futhi ngizomangala lapha ngokuthi yebo. Ukuphepha okungenakuqhathaniswa, ingaphakathi elingaphakathi (ngingena kahle phakathi kwezihlalo ezimbili zemoto ngemuva, ukuze uthole ireferensi), iqiniso lokuthi iminyango iyakuvulela lapho bezwa ukuthi uyeza—zonke lezi zinto zenza kube lula ukuhamba uma ugigiyela izingane ezimbili ezisacathula. , inqola kanye nokuthenga kwe-Costco okungu-0. Futhi nakuba ngiqinisekile ukuthi i-Ludicrous Speed ngeke indize kanye nabazali bami be-carpool, ngicabanga ukuthi i-Tesla iyahambisana nempilo yansuku zonke. Okukhulu nakakhulu, ngicabanga ukuthi ubuciko bochwepheshe, ukusimama kwemvelo kanye nobuchwepheshe obusha buzochaza ikusasa lemoto yomndeni. Noma okungenani kufanele. Ngoba abesifazane benza amaphesenti angu-65 ezinqumo ezintsha zokuthenga izimoto. Ngoba ama-eccentric Silicon Valley dudes akufanele athole konke ukuzijabulisa. Ngoba kufanele sifundise izingane zethu ukunciphisa i-carbon footprint yazo futhi zithembele emafutheni ezinto ezimbiwa phansi. Manje othile unginike u-0,000 ukuze ngiyothenga eyodwa futhi ngichithe ama-Cheerios kuyo yonke indawo.
