The Tesla X and Tesla S – Test Drive

Nowadays, life is all about the finer things. But what happens when luxury takes a walk on the wild side?

“When you see a car taking over the road, you often wonder what is the big deal with this particular brand?” We decided to find out and scheduled a test drive of the all-new Tesla Models “X” and “S”. The new Tesla X and Tesla S are sure to capture the eye of everyone in its path. The Tesla S provides a sleek polished look for its modern day professional, while the Tesla X stuns with its Falcon Wing doors that all open with the push of a button. With multiple storage compartments in the front and rear of the vehicles, this provides an even more enticing appeal to both driver and passenger.

Creating your own version of luxury is now made possible by Tesla. It allows you to choose everything from the Wood paneled dashboard to the supple white leather with inverted stitching on the Captain chairs in the front and rear of the vehicle. Tesla can be seen everywhere from a night on the town to taking the kids to soccer practice. The one place that you will never see Tesla is at a gas station, that’s right; not only is the Tesla well-made and design it’s well-made and environmental awareness.

Tesla’s can be seen everywhere from a night on the town to taking the kids to soccer practice. The one place that you will never see Tesla is at a gas station. That’s right! Not only is the Tesla well-made and designed, it is very aware of the environment. Tesla is an energy-efficient, self-driving, self-assured force to be reckoned with.


Model X is the safest, fastest and most capable SUV on the market. This all-wheel drive SUV comes equipped with a 100 kWh battery providing 295 miles of range which has seating for seven adults and all of their gear. The X accelerates from zero to sixty in as quick as 2.9 seconds. The 2017 Tesla Model X has an MSRP of $85,500 and can top off at $150,000, depending on the additional features. Standard features include a 17-inch touch screen and automatic emergency brakes.


Model S, designed from the ground up, is one of the safest yet exciting sedans to date. Model S accelerates from zero to sixty in as little as 2.5 seconds. Model S comes equipped with Autopilot capabilities for a safe and stress-free drive. The 2017 Model S, with 234 miles of range, starts at $72,700, while the all-wheel drive 70D (with six extra miles of driving range) costs $5,000 extra. The Model S 90D has the highest mileage range of 294 and starts off at $90,700.

So once again, while life is about the finer things, Tesla is about the future of things. I must say upon entering the dealership, it felt like a completely new experience. Tesla is certainly a leading competitor in an ever changing market.

Make sure you test drive a Tesla today!
