Men’s Night Out: Tesla Test Drive

Tesla Drive Experience event review, Monday 12 October

Ten men signed up to experience the thrill of driving the world’s first premium electric sedan: the Tesla Model S. The men first listened to a TechTalk about the car at the Tesla pop-up store on the Damsterdiep and then each person could drive for about 10 minutes in the test cars (either 70D or P85D) with the Tesla representative and two other participants. Designed from the ground up as an electric vehicle, the Model S gave an amazing driving experience, said one participant. When the rep said to plank the gas pedal, the car just leaped forward and he could feel the G-force acceleration in his face. Driving the Tesla was more like sitting in a cockpit with all the digital displays than a regular car but the ride was definitely sweet! After the test drives, the men gathered in a pub to exchange experiences and relax with a beer.
