Test Driving: Tesla Model S…

I am not a very impartial commentary about electric cars, because I am a driver who likes to dominate everything of the car itself, so I am a driver who does not even like the automatic gear. I use the old road, which includes the old road, including the Bolu Mountain ramp, which includes Bolu mountain ramp, which includes the Bolu Mountain Ram in Istanbul-Ankara journeys, especially in my journey to Istanbul-Ankara.

I think it has nothing to do with driving a car with 180 and rooting the gas on the highway. When I look at this aspect; Electric cars The death edict of the pleasure of driving cars for me! I look at the lack of gas and brake pedals, just like automatic gear vehicles, and the lack of a delicious engine sound that accompanies acceleration; If I produce electric cars, I add a engine sound, even if it is a lie, at least to announce to the cabinet. What is ha; Thanks to the transmission, which is the characteristic of the electric motors, the torque and power features of the cycle and power features, the moment I root the gas in the seat, to realize the acceleration in the silence of death is another satisfaction, and I do not deny it. The fact that the acceleration of 0-100 km/h, which takes place in 5 seconds, is realized with such silence, in a sense that we are traveling in the future and that technology is more in our daily lives than ever. Anyway, let’s come to Tesla Model S, the hero of our test, “pioneer”. First of all, the design of the vehicle is extremely dynamic, energetic and sporty. I think the design that consists of a large number of “spring ve and reminiscent of a piece of Mazda in the background, which we can call the frameless door glass, liftback, is very clever.

The fact that there are almost no forced and simple and simple lines, fluent lines and almost a single “straight” line on the vehicle are very suitable for Model S’s claim to technology and futureism. The same simplicity continues in the interior, but what a lie, the console, the 19 -inch monitor I used at home, the screen that could fall in love with the size of a little strange. In fact, it makes sense, because just like in smartphones, this is a big screen where keys and graphics appear according to need, with different and practical interfaces for each function. Nevertheless, no “key” can compete with the practice of a translated circular button. The thing I feel in the vehicle and the descent and frankly that I am strange to be in Tesla – maybe it’s a individual problem for our test car – the sound of the metal sound I heard during the closure of the doors and the sound of a few millimeters in the door body of the frameless windows. At this level, I would expect the sound of a full “plop” that we were used to from a car, German cars. However, as I said, this may be a situation specific to the used test car.

The driving features of electric cars are not much different than we are accustomed to gasoline or diesel. Everything is the same except that the engine power and the torque are at the highest level from the first moment. However, this difference does not cause any problems or problems in use. If you even want to have some fun, it’s definitely great. From the moment the vehicle’s first movement passes, Max torque and HP are under your foot. Thanks to its 4 -wheel drive and balanced structure of the vehicle, there is no slightest unrest or breaking despite the high power and exaggerated acceleration. One of the two main issues that attract my attention in driving is that the steering wheel is slightly too heavy; Moreover, despite this weight, it does not provide a very clear information about the road surface. The second issue is that the vehicle slows down when the foot is withdrawn from the gas. In traditional vehicles, we are familiar with the slowing of the compression (motor brake) tool when the foot is withdrawn from the gas, but this slowdown in Tesla is far above that we are accustomed to. As soon as the foot of the gas is taken, the electric motors start to work like Dynamo and charge the vehicle, which forms a magnetic force in the opposite direction to the rotor’s rotation direction, that’s why the slowdown. This situation, which does not cause any problems or problems in daily use, can only be remarkable for drivers who are very detailed when driving and who are constantly listening / feeling the vehicle. One of the most successful steps of Elon Musk is my commentary for the model S; In the vehicle, which is one of the pioneers of electrical technology and environmentalism, the pleasure of using cars and driving dynamics are slightly neglected. At least it was the feeling I bought from the vehicle I used.
