Two years ago, my family and I rented a Tesla Model S for a road-trip across Western (although I wish I could see more of the Eastern) Europe starting from Sweden and ending near Spain where my relatives live. This year, we are planning to do the same thing however we are going a more eastern route. However, we haven’t got a Tesla yet so the best thing we are planning is to rent a hybrid (of course, not the best solution to climate change) and for a huge chunk of the trip, ride a train with the car inside it to minimise our carbon footprint.
So…What is a Tesla?
Well, Tesla is an American company that specifically specialises in electric vehicles, energy storage and solar panel manufacturing.
They are an amazing company and they do amazing things. For example they have the solar roof, which looks like a roof but functions exactly like photovoltaic panels:
As well as battery storage:
They have several cars and vehicles. Such as the Tesla Semi, Tesla NexGen Roadstar, the old Roadster, Model S, Model X, Model 3 and the upcoming Model Y (images shown in the order listed) We drove the Tesla Model S two years ago, and we would like to try the Tesla Model X.
