19 Celebs You Didn't Know Drive Teslas
Content
Tesla was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers who wanted to change the status quo of the electric vehicle market. The innovative car company has grown steadily over the past decade and has repaid in full the government's loan it received earlier during the economic downturn. Tesla manufactures vehicles along with other innovative products at its main plant in California, USA.
The first Tesla car was released in 2008. It was a roadster. The world's first all-electric premium sedan was due to arrive soon; The Model S was introduced in 2014. After some testing with the Motor Trend team, the new Tesla sedan achieved a 0-60 time of 2.28 seconds - faster than many Ferrari and Porsche vehicles. Tesla CEO and visionary Elon Musk leads innovation and drives the company forward. He seems insatiable when it comes to revolutionizing the way we travel. (In addition to building great electric vehicles, Musk also oversees the production of SpaceX rockets.) In 2015, Tesla's lineup of vehicles expanded to include the Model X. The X is the fastest SUV in history. Tesla's new SUV model has a 5-star safety rating in all categories from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Safety and innovation - it cannot be otherwise!
A fully loaded Model S will easily run you over $120K, and a Model X is even more expensive at around $160K.
But don't worry - the more affordable Model 3 is already in production and Tesla is currently taking orders. The cost of Model 3 will start from 35 thousand dollars, which is a more affordable option for the rest of the peasants.
19 Cameron Diaz
Thank god paparazzi; otherwise how would we know when a celebrity went to the gym or for coffee? Just a joke! TMZ is not bookmarked here… But back to the cars: look at Cameron Diaz about to get into her Tesla Model S. She has a basic black Model S with stock rims and interior – a little bland for a rich movie. a star like Miss Diaz, but to each his own. It's a bit odd that she didn't even opt for the glass panoramic roof.
Cameron Diaz has been seen driving her Tesla around Los Angeles on several occasions, running errands and just living the Hollywood life.
(You know…hiking, brunch, and shopping.) The environmentally conscious celebrity is a common sight in tinsel town, which is why she belongs on this list.
18 will.i.am
Black Eyed Peas musician and producer, will.i.am, also owns a Tesla. He bought himself a white Model S, but unlike Cameron Diaz, he went a step further and customized his as hell. The creation was done by his charity customization brand IAmAuto. The resulting car hardly resembled a Tesla, but it certainly looked like a car owned by will.i.am.
His custom Model S has a wide body kit, homemade doors and the biggest fake air intake ever made.
All the add-ons make the Tesla look more like a race car, when in fact all the add-ons reduce performance. He should have just blacked out the badges, put some nice rims on the Model S and be done with it. But when you're a creative genius, simplicity isn't an option - extravagance is the motive.
17 Bred Pitt
Here we have Brad and Angelina in their Tesla Model S. As mentioned earlier, this is not a tabloid, so we have no idea who the car is registered to. For the sake of this list, let's give this Tesla to Brad and just mention that he was married to the one and only Tomb Raider at the time. The pair, who starred in the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith, look like real killers in this photo - discreetly as they step out of the Model S. According to a quick Google search, they are no longer romantically involved; however, they apparently still make wine together. Time for random Tesla facts! T
The Model S has more luggage space than any other sedan in its class.
Apparently, a 55-inch TV, a surfboard and a bicycle can be stuffed inside the Tesla. They must have wine there, a lot of wine.
16 George RR Martin
Here's the writer and creator of the hit HBO series Game of Thrones standing next to his unique purple Tesla Model S. He is a big fan of Tesla Motors and is a member of the Tesla Motor Club. The meeting of the club took place in Santa Fe, New Mexico. George said he chose the unique purple paint job for his Model S because it matches his personality.
"She's gorgeous, she's comfortable and flies like a bat out of hell," is how he described his beloved Tesla when asked about it.
George recently checked out the Model X and expressed interest in buying a new Tesla SUV to complement his Tesla sedan. It remains to find out who Jon Snow is. Very late... right?
15 Steve Wozniak
Here's Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak enjoying his Tesla and also smiling from ear to ear. Wozniak's net worth is estimated to be around $100 million, so he's not Steve Jobs. Still, getting a Model S for him is like buying a cup of coffee. The Apple co-founder was a big fan of Tesla and Elon Musk in the past. But it was recently documented that Steve stated that he could no longer trust Tesla or anything Elon Musk says. He still loves his Model S and considers it a "beautiful car," but as far as the company and its CEO are concerned, he's no longer a fan. Steve was recently quoted during an interview in Sweden: "Now I don't believe anything Elon Musk or Tesla says." A drama about rich people?
14 Alyson Hannigan
Alyson Hannigan has long moved away from the stories of depraved camp stories (American Pie link). Remember the flute scene? Classic! Well, now she is an adult Hollywood actress with a wonderful family.
She has been repeatedly photographed using her Tesla Model S in her daily life, taking her children to school and shopping.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer currently lives in Encino, California with her co-star and current husband, Alexis Denisof. She seems to be a big fan of her Tesla and she was on that show too. How I Met your mother-random knowledge for you. By the way, from now on, Tesla facts will be interspersed in these descriptions, because this is not a tabloid, and interesting information about celebrities is simply not enough. So, as promised, the Model S has one of the smallest sedan engines ever made. Boom. You have learned a lot here.
13 Mark Gasol
Marc Gasol is a three-time NBA All-Star who was born in Spain. He is the brother of another NBA All-Star named Pau Gasol (only mentioned because Pau helped Kobe get a pair of rings). Last year, the Memphis Grizzlies big man (Mark) made the All-Star Game for the third time in his career. So naturally, instead of flying to the game in a private jet like most NBA stars, he decided to travel to the game in his Tesla Model S. Orleans on an electric car. Since he had to stop at a charging station, the whole trip took 3 hours instead of the usual 95. What can I say - the Spaniard must be very fond of driving his Tesla.
12 Jay Leno
Jay Leno is a big fan of the Tesla car company and wants Americans to support the company as well. Here are Jay's thoughts on Musk and Tesla: "The guy [Elon Musk] is building an American car in America using American labor and paying them union wages - in full." Leno could be on any car list because this guy's garage is huge and it's filled with every car you can imagine. But anyway, Jay loves his Tesla Model S. Looks like he left it completely stock - pretty boring. It also looks like he doesn't drive it much. Is it parked in his living room? According to Google, Jay Leno owns approximately 169 cars. It can't be that he drove 50% of them in a year. What a life! Random Tesla fact straight out of the grill for you: The Model S has the largest display interface of any production car.
11 Jay Z
Finally a celebrity who did something with his Tesla after it left the assembly line! Jay-Z, Jigga Man - of course, this guy has a cool Model S! He is the coolest 48-year-old in the world. He darkened the tints and made sure the discs matched, though it's disappointing that all the badges and decals weren't blacked out either. It doesn't matter, but Jay-Z is married to Beyoncé and she's just worth mentioning. Of most people on this list, the two Jays - Jay-Z and Jay Leno - probably drive their Teslas the least because they have so many other options and daily chauffeur money. Another exciting fact about Tesla is that the Model S was the first electric vehicle to win Motor Trend's Car of the Year award. The panel of judges who observed the process was unanimous in their decision.
10 Zedd
WHO? Well, it's Zedd. I'm not very familiar with his work, but Google says he's a "Russian-German producer, DJ, musician, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter." Careful! His real name is "Anton Zaslavsky", and since he plays records, his stage name is "Zedd". He seems to be quite relevant in the EDM festival scene and also cares about the environment. Zedd bought himself a Tesla Model S straight from the dealership. The experience alone must be pretty epic - walking into a small shop with a few Teslas and driving out of the storefront in a gleaming Model S. Ahh... What a way to spend about $140! Random Tesla Facts - Because you know you have a thirst for knowledge!
The Model S does not have a start button; you just need to enter and close the door.
The car will automatically turn on. On the contrary, to turn it off, just go out and close the door. Those precious seconds of life add up!
9 Zooey Deschanel
For chick lovers and comedy lovers, here's Zooey with her Model S. Zooey Deschanel - yes, we checked it spelled with two O's - is an actress, singer-songwriter who looks like a real-life Disney star, but isn't really her. is. t. So let's not spread rumors. Let's move on to more important things - Tesla. Everyone knows that the Model S is like a mini hub with wheels. The main on-board computer contains many programs. You can even "hack" the main panel and enable a fake "underwater mode". You can pretend to be James Bond and dodge assassins while you're stuck in traffic. A custom "hacked" screen can be accessed by going to the main control panel and entering the passcode "007".
8 Harrison Ford
Although this guy's last name is Ford, you won't catch him in an F150. The original Han Solo sticks to his sci-fi roots while driving his futuristic Model S. Harrison Ford has been known to crash private jets, but his Tesla looks clean and unscathed. He must be a better driver than a pilot. Anyway, here he is at the Santa Monica airport, hobbled over to another private jet. Have a safe trip, Han Solo - for your safety and the safety of others, we hope you're not flying the plane. Fun fact: Harrison called himself a "nerd" after a crash landing shortly after takeoff in Los Angeles. And in general Tesla Model S news from JD Power: “Two new trim options have been added: Dark Ash trim and Figured Ash trim.” Hooray!
7 Deadmau5
Yes, finally! Another custom S model with some uniqueness and variety. This Tesla, which looks like a ninja turtle, belongs to one of the most famous DJs named "Deadmau5". At some point Ghosts-n-Stuff took over the radio. This bright green Model S looks sick, and the blacked-out rims add a nice touch to the overall color scheme. It appears to be a Tesla S P85D that has over 600 horsepower and revs silently. Mr. Deadmau5's net worth is around $12 million, so he may have several different toys, each with over 600 horsepower, but only this quiet one is kind of the opposite of his music. 0-60 in less than 2.8 seconds with the advanced autopilot feature - not sure how safe it is yet, but it should be pretty cool to lie down and drive.
6 Jade Smith
No, it's not Will Smith, but still someone connected to the Fresh Prince. Here is Jayden, the newest prince of the Will Smith family. Looks like he has a brand new Model X and is showing off a random photo shoot in the parking lot. Can't hate it because the car is super cool and unique. Just look at those doors that roll up but the grille looks like a minivan.
Like other Tesla vehicles, the Model X is the fastest SUV on the market at 0-60 in 6 seconds.
Its top speed is 130 mph, and a fully loaded model will set you back around $140. It's still pretty rare to see it on the road compared to the Model S, but it seems like the Model S is just a sportier and more powerful choice.
5 Vern Troyer
It's like a lucky bonus/good mood entry on the list. Vern is one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, a real man of the people. He is active online and interacts personally with his fans on a daily basis through various social media channels. Here's a still from the video in which he shared the unboxing and test drive of the amazing miniature Model S. Yes, it's true - it's not the "0-60 in 2.8 seconds" Model S, but still a toy version. very detailed and has a lot in common with the real thing. The Radio Flyer company that makes and distributes these "toys" has a direct partnership with Tesla, so you know it's real. According to Tesla, “Each Tesla Model S for kids is a battery-powered car packed with high-end features to recreate the ultimate Tesla experience.” Vern justified his money - that's for sure!
4 Ben Affleck
We can't forever blame him for being a bad Batman. Ben Affleck is a famous Hollywood actor who, judging by the picture above, is very puzzled by the Tesla on-board computer. He was good in Gone Girl, right? Well, let's move on, Ben owns a Model S and according to Google, he's a big Tesla supporter. He has owned a Model S for a long time and has been photographed numerous times riding around Los Angeles. In Hollywood circles, the Model S seems to be a status symbol and a sign that you care about the Earth. Kudos if you have the money and decide to drive an electric car every day instead of a Lambo.
3 Tony Hawk
Ladies and gentlemen (hello readers - we hope you're there), but probably mostly gentlemen, here's the one and only Tony Hawk. Legend - do you remember the video game, fakie ollie in the 50-50 grind? Ah, the good old days of scoring points instead of trying to pay bills. Tony is a damn cool 49 year old. He has in no way retained his Model S stock. Here he shows off the modified car after the exterior chrome has been wrapped in 3M black satin material and the audiophile system has been upgraded with a dozen speakers and 1,200 watts of power - all of which, according to Al & Ed's Autosound, who did the job. They also added Escort's ant ticket system, which lets you know ahead of time if you're being tracked by radar - Tony still likes to drive fast.
2 Blake Griffin
Most NBA stars have some good rides, and former Clipper Blake Griffin is no exception. Here he is again behind the wheel of his Model S. Mr. Griffin no longer needs sunny California days - he is now a member of the Detroit Pistons, The Motor City.
In keeping with the Detroit theme, JD Power recently noted that "the capacity of the standard onboard charger has been increased from 40 amps to 48 amps for faster charging."
This is great news for Blake. Maybe he won't need as many charges to get back to his Los Angeles mansion. Because knowledge is power, here's more information: Tesla Model S's autopilot feature can find a parking spot, parallel park on command, and has a call feature to "call" the Model S so it can pull up to the driver's location. It's like a super smart dog without love.
1 Lionel Richie
Don't let his daughter ruin your opinion of Lionel. Mr. Ritchie is the master of funk and soul. He released some great love hits. We're talking fertility music, so add it to your Spotify playlist for Friday night. He has sold over 100 million records worldwide for a reason! Looks like he set up an Instagram photo shoot for his Model S and his beautiful pit bull. It looks like a blue nose - oh, and the car, right? It has black rims - if that's what you like. Bonus Randomness: Google his name and find a story about how his wife apparently caught him in bed with another woman and then proceeded to kick both of their asses. (Mrs. Richie was a karate master). Super Rare Bonus Fact: According to Business Insider — fresh out of the press — “Musk wants the Tesla car line to be the definition of sexy — literally. The Model S, Model X, and the upcoming Model 3 are all part of the drive to have a line of vehicles called SEXY or S3XY after the release of the possible Tesla Model Y SUV.” Absolutely amazing stuff!
