Tesla Sedan Party Video<\/strong>
\n\"Big
\nImage by jurvetson<\/a><\/i>
\nIt felt like a dream sequence. <\/p>\n

With thousands of incoming requests, I happened to be at the right place at the right time to sign up for the first Tesla Model S<\/a> Sedan, a fully electric, zero emissions car that can go 300 miles and 0-60 in 5.6 seconds. <\/p>\n

(The \u201cS-1\u201d designation is a bit magical for me since the filing of a \u201cForm S-1\u201d with the SEC is the commencement of the IPO process. =)<\/p>\n

After the car drove out into the party inside the SpaceX rocket plant for it\u2019s public unveiling, Elon Musk took me for the first test drive of the new machine. I took a video of the whole ride<\/a>. <\/p>\n

One cool detail I missed in the video was the door handles extending linearly outward (providing a big grip for opening) and then retracting back into the door frame for a perfectly smooth surface.<\/p>\n

The interior design is as radical as the iPhone; most of the dash is a 17" touch screen. There are no buttons or dials. And with a software-defined UI, various skins and web services are available over the 3G data link (as well as Internet browsing and HDTV). I\u2019ll put another<\/a> request in for an open interface for downloadable engine ring tones (the car is silent, so why not have the drive-by-wire data feed trigger the sounds of your favorite vintage gas-passing vehicle or rocket\u2026)<\/p>\n

The batteries and liquid-cooled AC induction motor (i.e., the entire weight of the drive train) are below the wheel line so it handles unlike any car I have experienced. <\/p>\n

And that means that there is a trunk in front and in back and more interior space than any other sedan. Toss bikes with the wheels on through the hatchback. Or seat seven people.<\/p>\n

Clearly I am enamored. Another short video<\/a> from outside as the new customers for the Sedan take test drives around the block.\n<\/p>\n
