I rented a Tesla Model X for about a week.
I wanted to test the X for vacation and a few days to find out how an EV works on daily basis and
finding out how an EV drives and how it works out with charging.
And it was a giant positive surprise.
The size of the car is very practical and suits very well for a family.
Before I was ot really into an SUV (in this case more a crossover).
Lots of space and the Falcon Wing Doors are not only eyecatching, there are very practical and have a big advantage over a standard opening door, which I didn't expect.
The silence, savety and power of the car are fascinating.
Combined with the simplicity and the modern feel of the technology inside the car are comparable to the iphone when it came out compared to a standard phone during this time :-)
So overall the joy driving an electric car and how relaxing it feels without a noisy engine is extrodinary.
After this experience there is no way for me to buy a petrol based car anymore.
And it will most likely be a Tesla.
No one I drove with was sitting in a Tesla before and were right away fascinated as well.
So I assume some of them will rent a Tesla as well, just for fun and testing as long as it is somehting special.
Next time I am looking forward to try an even more simplified but more modern Model 3.
The Tesla rental team was very friendly and everything worked out very professional.
The only thing is that Autopilot was an extra cost to book additionally per day, which can get very pricy when you book the car for a longer time. But we came up with a compromise that was working for both sides well.
So I am looking forward for another opportunity when I am back in Germany to rent a Tesla.
Many thanks to the whole team for this incredible experience.
