Tesla Model X One-Hour Video Review
This video might be financially dangerous because you may want a Tesla Model X after watching it. It starts with a number of details about the doors, but the most compelling part is the driving section, which is toward the end. One of the most remarkable points, the reviewer says, is that the vehicle is very quiet. This is obviously because there is no internal combustion engine and no exhaust system. “You feel so relaxed by that, and I really just love it,” he explains. Perhaps more telling is the comment, “this car really feels like no other,” which he also says is the main characteristic of the vehicle.

That the new and improved Tesla Roadster was a direct taunt to the sleepy performance giants is obvious. To date, sorting through the sensational Tesla headlines for the core points can be daunting.

Albany Should Let Tesla Expand In New York (Op-Ed)
During the 2017-2018 New York State legislative session, which ended June 20, legislators were considering A8248A and its companion bill, S6600A. These bills would have allowed Tesla to expand from five to twenty stores in New York and did not require public spending. The bills had bipartisan support; forty-seven Assembly Members and twelve Senators were co-sponsors of the bills. The bills never came to a vote. This is a missed opportunity for New York and for the country.
