While the massive 17 inch screen offers a lot of functions the screen itself makes using the other features in the car quite difficult as it does not support multi touch which is favored by everyone who enjoys sleek designs. Due to there being limited buttons and the screen itself providing most of the features, certain tasks such as changing lanes do require the driver to take their eyes away from the road from a short period of time.

The cars Tesla Autopilot functions can enhance safety when driving on highways by allowing the vehicle to steer, accelerate, and brake when required and maintaining a certain distance between you and other cars. But unfortunately, the feature of full autonomy is still in the development stage and thus cannot be used.

Extended Driving

Instantaneous torque of the Tesla Model S makes it ideal to drive around during long hours on the freeway. It feels sporty and responsive even when switching lanes on the highway. Being low to the ground also means it will be able to tilt at the expected angle of an upper tier sports luxury vehicle.

In the driver’s seat, Teslas have a simple and sophisticated design. Most of the electrical vehicle’s functionalities are controlled by a massive 17-inch touch-screen that stretches over the whole dashboard. And of course, for enhanced safety and performance, there are always optional carbon-ceramic brakes.

You can also receive the various over-the-air software updates that can add new features or enhance existing functionality. This is a huge plus that ensures your car remains relevant over the years and eliminates the need to go to the dealer to physically carry out the changes.

OTA Software Modifications

This feature seems quite useful as it allows for the cars to become more secure based on customer client feedback. If the hazard detection system is ineffective and also poses a risk of having the car driven, an OTA update can be used to enhance its operational precision. Moreover, These upgrades usually take one hour to download and install through wireless transmission.

Sentry Mode

Sentry Mode activates the cameras and locks the car when it is parked to provide better surveillance and detect any kind of movement around the vehicle. Along with the ability to prevent theft, break ins and even vandalism it is an ideal surveillance during such situations.

The Alert state is immediately engaged when the lights go on, the systems speak out, and when the system picks up motion. An alarming mechanism is engaged for even greater threats which sets off the car’s alarm and the lights while recording the event through four out of nine of the fender cameras. To ensure the privacy of individuals, the cabin and rear cameras are included in the list of exemptions.

Real-time footage is accessible to property holders through the Tesla app by selecting Controls > Safety > Sentry Mode > View Live Camera. However, this feature is not cost-effective for long use as it’s power demanding and active use will result in battery depletion within hours. In addition, users must first connect a USB drive that has been formatted in order to access these files.

Supercharging Stations

This process starts when you are 10 to 20 minutes away from the site and it sets your battery in an ideal state for charging. When you are in close range to the machine, which is around 40 feet, the battery will turn on the system to optimize the wireless energy transfer.

The term ‘superchargers’ refers to Tesla’s network of charging valves which have been built for efficiency with a charging duration of approximately 30 minutes, which is better than other charging systems. What’s more is the fact that the facilities are offered free of charge to all Tesla car owners but this has recently been extended to other electric vehicles as well.

Among the products offered by the company is a home wall connector of type three which a certified electric specialist may install, and its price begins from 549 euros including taxes. You can also choose the Power Sharing feature that allows multiple electric vehicles to be charged at a home with a single three prong 240V outlet.
