Playing Around in a Tesla

This week, wednesday to be exact, my friends Fabio, Sabina and I decided to head to the city to check out the new Tesla store that was built there recently. 


When we came in there were two customers who were being advised. We peeked around the cars for a bit, not sure if it was alright to sit in them, but when we opened the door no one said anything so we assumed it would be ok. After taking a look at the interior I asked one of the employees, who was very friendly which was nice for change since when we went to the Bentley store they were quite rude and unfriendly, some questions about the car and the different models. After that he welcomed us to make ourselves at home and to check out the cars for as long as we want, which, needless to say, was extremely kind! 


The Model S is also quite known for the big screen in the middle of the console and some people argue that it is too big, but I just love it! It fits so perfectly with the car and it's image and if you don't like it that much it's possible to turn it off either completely or half of it since it is divided into a top and bottom section. Did I mention yet that it has wifi connectivity? I did a post on the Model S before in Seabrook, Washington and uploaded those pictures to my blog. In the Telsa in Geneva we pulled up my blog and opened up the pictures of me in a Tesla in a Tesla, get it ;), and then also turned on the rear camera and I went behind the car and my friend took a picture of that :) 


One more great thing about the Model S is the rear seating capability. Since there is no real middle console you have tons of legroom even if you sit in the middle which doesn't really apply to most cars. This means you basically have 3 full rear seats and not the usual 2.5. 


Another great feature is the amount of space you have for luggage! Since the batteries are built into the chassis' floor you have a trunk in the front and the back!! The one in the back is so big that you can throw in 2 more seats for children if you want. 




After checking out all these great features we played around a bit more with the car and just had an absolute blast!! Thank you Tesla store Geneva for making this possible and for being so kind to us!





There's the picture of me in a Telsa in a Tesla :)

Audi Dealer

Today 3rd and 4th period got cancelled in school so Fabio, Philipp and I decided to go to the city. While pulling up to the Audi dealer I had the idea of going there instead and checking out the cars. First we took a look at the new TT S ( I'll do a seperate post on that one once I get some pictures of it. I forgot to take some there.). Afterwards I asked if it would be possible to sit in the R8 and the employee said that if it was open we could. We went upstairs to where it was located and to our luck it was open :) I already made a post on the R8 earlier this year where you can find some technical information. Here are some pics I took: 





As you can see the R8 has a great interior with tons of carbon detailing and this one had an alcantara roof lining as well. And as you can see in the last picture you even have some space behind the seats for luggage not including all the space you have in the boot as well.

Aston Adventures

As the name already says I had a little adventure with an Aston Martin this morning. An Aston Martin Vantage to be precise. This how it all started off: This morning I got up to go to crew and once I arrived I saw an Aston. I then asked my coach whose it was and he told me. Later after practice was over I went over to the car to check it out and that's when the owner came because he was also finished. Earlier when I talked to him he offered that I could have a drive in it one day, but I never expected it to be that day. So he generously asked if I wanted to ride and I accepted. He then dropped me off at the bus station after we went for a little ride. Here is a quick video...




At this point I just want to say thank you to the owner of the Aston. I really appreciate it and I had a blast!!
