Tesla grin

An involuntary yet pleasant physical manifestation affecting one's facial features as a result of the amused, giddy feeling one experiences when accelerating while driving a Tesla vehicle.

A reaction to the magic of intention and simultaneous vehicular feedback: hitting the gas pedal and going 0 to 60 m/hr (or 100 km/hr) in 3 seconds.

Feeling like you're in warp drive and loving it.

Tesla Model X

A ~5,300lb (2,400 kg) full-sized all-electric crossover SUV with falcon-wing styled rear doors. The same doors that halted delivery of the vehicle by 4-6 months and forced engineers to develope new ultra-sonic sensors that could see through aluminum. The P90D version goes 0-60 mph (0-100 kph) in 3.2 supercar crushing seconds and takes it to the 1/4 mile (400 meters) in 11.6 seconds, faster than any production SUV built in history. This is done using its 762 combined horsepower dual-electric motors.

Model X boasts the first true HEPA filter to be put in a car. Tesla claims that no viruses, bacteria or spores can be detected in the cabin. The car is the only fully-electric vehicle with a towing-capacity of up to 5,000 pounds (2,300 kg).
CEO of Tesla Motors, Elon Musk, said in an interview about the Tesla Model X, "I'm not sure anyone should have made this car ... it's like, really hard to build."

He then went on to say, "There are so many more features and difficult to build parts on the Model X than it is necessary for us to sell the car."

Tesla time

The time a Tesla owner spends each day educating others on their car's features or on EV's in general. Tesla time can be spent with friends/family but is most often taken by random curious people who spot the car on the street.
