In case you missed it, the #Tesla Model S is pretty safe. Really safe. REALLY safe. Get a rundown of everything going on in the world of Elon Musk: This is Elon Musk's Year - Techno Buffalo's Driven

The Tesla model S is officially my dream car now because of you John

[ekiswoes]

Hey guys. Should also mention that Elon is from my country, South Africa! Great to see our South African guys doing so well internationally! Elon Musk, Mark Shuttleworth, Charlize Theron to name a few :)

"It's like a vacuum tube that sucks you really fast.." LOOOOL, that doesn't sound wrong at all

Unlike any car in history, the Model S can be constantly updated, upgraded, and improved through system updates over the car's internet connection. Adaptive cruise will be a part of the next update, as well as lane departure, valet speed limiting, expanded wi-fi connectivity etc. Things like memory seats, faster charging, turn by turn, and creep have been added in the past. No other car in existence can do this, and it will keep improving throughout ownership.

I can't wait for it to be available in more of the smaller markets in the US. Once that happens I'm in!

@Kyosanym I don't know, but the fun thing about the model s is taht everything in the car is controlled from the android-based touchscreen dashboard which can be updated to add features. They have already done this with the previously missing memory seat feature. So anything they forgot to add in the first place can be added later wothout additional costs.

[TRANSFICT]

definitely one of the best, most accurate videos about the coming revolution being led by the Model S and Tesla,

[AMBLloyd]

I still don't think battery technology is good enough yet, but the Tesla Model S genuinely excites me. I can't wait for further improvements in battery technology to be made, as that is the only thing which would currently put me off buying a Tesla S.

[idxdroid]

What options did you get on your model S? And how much longer till you get it?

[SeijiSuenaga]

1:05 The high speed rail's estimated cost is more like $60 billion, not $6 billion

[dirtyberge]

Well I don't know how recent you made this film so I will say you forgot to mention Elon Musk's new hand motion hologram. You covered the main points about Tesla but you left out the craziness going on with the automakers attempting to ban Tesla from Texas. Which is important because consumers would be missing out on a terrific vehicle. Really excited for the new model coming out next year, I will be the first in line to buy one.

[stimproid]

Unlike the loop actually is a series of tubes.

[trampolinetricksguys]

I love tesla and all of the innovative things they've done

[doftpeters]

not a vacuum tube, he specifically told the media it was not vacuum propelled, tho you would think that would be a correct way to build it

[doughntworry]

best car ive ever seen. would prefer it to every sports car/ luxury car on the market. it would be exactly what i want in a car and it looks gorgeous.

[bebomac]

The majority of gas cars made today don't have 400 mile ranges. Fyi, the average commute for around 96% of all drivers is under 40 miles per day. Your comment is silly.

[ioanhill]

I would buy some. I bought some 2 months ago and made more than 50% on them so far. I should have bought them earlier though. It may seem like a bubble, like they're trading at much more than what their 'worth'. But Tesla cannot be compared to other car manufacturers. Tesla does more than make cars. Charging infrastructure, bypassing dealers, making safest car ever. If the stock is 10 times what they're 'worth' now, imagine what it will be when they actually are worth that much.

[MrMikebeckace]

Tesla is some great Cool Aid. I love it!

[alexbreen]

Hey Jon, what's it like driving with google glass?
