it's time for show-off Sunday, where everyone has a chance to show off their
own car and here's this week's winner what defines the word comfort, is it a
state of mind, a state of being, or somewhere in between, in the 20th century
luxury in America meant big, the larger flares to the back ends, the wider the
bench seat, the less the seatbelts and safety equipment, cars were big cruisers
and comfortable family sedans unlike in the European market, with smaller roads
and tastes catered to simplicity in quality of drive the markets couldn't
have to find themselves more opposite of one another, that's why I choose German
or Japanese luxury cars, they wear longer and offer unique perspectives on luxury,
American cars fall away in comparison to this AMG s air ride suspension its
self-driving features and this industrial switch wear, I've got to say it this car
is handsome, but I can't relax in it, I can't take a day off from driving,
sometimes you just want to kick back and let the miles fly by, this is the
american-made Tesla Model X 100 D, it's done away with the pesky exhaust because
it has no engine, and has one gear and it's handsome amazingly so, while driving
it feels like you're piloting a bank vault, from the view of an atrium, this is
the largest windshield I've ever seen fitted to a car and it makes the driving
experience tranquil and immersive, you feel cocooned while this leather clad
appliance drives you into a future world of 4k screens and self opening doors, and
that wasn't an oversight, I can pull the cruise control stock twice and I don't
have to drive anymore it will, and it will even change lanes if I ask it to or
fart when I press this button, Tesla took cues from the Germans and installed
switch where you would find on an eClass inside, so the only real buttons are
these two on the side of the screen this may leave you feeling out of place if
you come from the normal world but the electric motor and battery have
an 8 year warranty, double that of Mercedes and Audi's drive trains,
I will admit it's got 300 miles on the clock and there's already some issues
such as this panel gap, but I've never been so serene in a car,
you can control it remotely with your phone, use it as a daily driver, and
underneath the vault 518 horsepower on tap, its motor and battery sit deep in
the car, and the suspension hangs over the front wheels to provide more grip in
the corners, it can tell when you're driving more rapidly and automatically
lowers the suspension for better handling, I'm just amazed it can take a
corner like that in a 5,400 pound SUV these falcon doors really do make the
look and they're innovative too, there's actually only been 36 production cars in
total with Falcon wing doors and this is the first one that isn't a coupe, there's
actually a sensor that's embedded inside of the door panel here that can read
through solid objects including the door panel itself without the need for a
sensor, so we can detect objects next to it, this says something about the owner,
they want refinement they have the need for seven seat heaters and they want to
be fun, they want to blend in while being endlessly quirky, which I love but I'm
also confused by, the Model X is in contrast to itself it's an American car
built like a German one, it's extremely luxurious while being ludicrous, it's a
sort of minivan that you strive for, I love this car and the people agree since
it went on sale in 2015 its sales have gone up 400%, now that is partially due
to Tesla needing to scale its production but still those numbers speak for
themselves, it's also become the first SUV ever to achieve a five-star crash
test rating in every category, and having enhanced autopilot means it will be one
of the first cars ever to fully self drive, this car is a fresh take on what
comfort can mean, a truly hands-off experience and though personally I'd
prefer to always have my hands on the wheel, this car beggars belief under its
own power thus comfort isn't something to define
for someone else it's something to define for yourself, and I think I found
mine
