Why Driving a Tesla is Like Having the First iPhone All Over Again

If you can look ahead and see what happened to Apple after the iPhone, you might have a glance at what will happen to Tesla in the following years.

As someone who has always been fascinated by technology and its ability to transform our lives, I can’t help but get excited about new products that have the potential to change the world. And that’s exactly how I feel about my Tesla.

Just like the first iPhone opened my eyes to the possibilities of mobile computing, driving a Tesla has given me a glimpse into the future of transportation.

Let me share my personal experience with this electric and smart vehicle and how others of its kind are shaping the way we think about transportation.

The electric revolution

Internal combustion engines have been the dominant power for personal transportation for over a hundred years. But as the world faces the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions and curb climate change, it’s time to say goodbye to gas-guzzlers. Electric vehicles are the clear choice for a cleaner, more efficient future. Here’s why:

  • Electric drivetrains are much simpler and more efficient than internal combustion engines. I can personally attest to this. The smooth and quiet ride of a Tesla is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. In a traditional gasoline-powered car, energy from the fuel is used to power a complex system of gears, pumps, and other mechanical parts. In an electric car, energy from the battery is used to power an electric motor, which is much simpler and more efficient. As a result, electric vehicles are able to convert more of their energy into motion, making them more efficient and cost-effective to operate.
  • Renewable energy is becoming increasingly cheap and widely available, making it easier to power our vehicles with clean electricity. As someone who cares about the environment, I love the fact that I can drive my Tesla on clean electricity rather than burning fossil fuels. And with the cost of renewable energy continuing to drop, it’s becoming increasingly affordable to power our cars with clean energy.

But the competition has arrived. What made the first iPhone special turned into a commodity. As are EVs.

Enrique, cities will become quieter and less air polluting.
Most I know have, at least mentally, changed to electric cars. Thanks to Elon Musk for being the pioneer in making EVs sexy -- most important, for any change to take hold.
Many thanks.

In Europe, this was already the case for a long time, apparently if you use fast chargers, it can be already more expensive to charge compared to gasoline 😕. Fortunately people make their own power using solar. Prices on the grid follow the gas…
