Top 11 reasons why a woman wants to drive a Tesla Model S
Our friend Laurie Orloski gives us 11 good reasons why any woman would want a Model S

Our good friend Laurie Orloski is giving us 11 good reasons why any woman would want to own a Models S. We were wondering what you think about them.
11. Nice sound
The sound system of the Tesla Model S is so high fidelity it fills every inch of the cabin with your favorite jamming tunes (with a top volume of 11, true story), simultaneously drowning out any screaming/fighting/complaining/nagging/whining/etc. children who may be co-passengers.
10. The Tesla privacy factor
The Tesla Model S is so long that any screaming/fighting/complaining/nagging/whining/etc. children traveling in the optional rear-facing kids seats are way, way muffled, making for a far quieter and Zen-like ride than is possible in any other car, even for an already tranquil electric vehicle (EV)
9. Retractable door handle means kids get in without fuss!
Shiny retractable door handles of the Tesla Model S are an automatic kid magnet, promoting an unrelenting willingness to actually get into the car voluntarily without any fuss or battle. Yes, ladies, kids will actually be quite willing to open their own door and hop right in. Shocking, we know.
8. The tunnel of personal affairs
The Tesla Model S is so wide with an open area between the two front seats, providing an excellent spot for storing your belongings, purse, and other collection, even matching spare shoes.
7. Big trunk equals big fun
The Tesla Model S has so much cargo space, it even rivals the largest SUV, allowing for shopping galore!! The best part is it doesn’t have the inconvenience of having to risk damaging your heels by hopping up into an overpriced, over raised truck, huh, I mean SUV.
6. Big trunk, fun frunk
With the lack of an engine taking up precious room, you get a bonus front trunk (aka frunk) which is way cooler than a circa-2012 trunk; having a frunk makes it socially acceptable to stick your nose in the air, you earned it
5. Tesla tech-galore makes for friend and friend-emies
If you are in need of some criticism and drama to spice up your life, you can very easily make friend-emies or plain old enemies online. It truly takes little to no effort to push the buttons of guys who are secretly so jealous that you, a woman for goodness sake, is driving the car that they have been drooling all over. Bonus tip: be sure to sound knowledgeable about your car, that really ticks men off and gets the drama raging.
4. Less gas money, means more spending
The Tesla Model S will save you thousands of dollars a year in gas savings, which can certainly be put to good use during your next trip to the mall.
3. Tesla screened calls
If you are in need of romance, the Tesla Model S provides the opportunity to meet and screen numerous men on any given day; all you have to do is go somewhere, anywhere really, and you will evoke an automatic flies on fly paper/swarming bees effect. Love it!
2. Less gas stops, means more time to look your best
Another unintended benefit of an electric car like the Model S is that with no need to ever stop at another gas station, ever, it will give you back those precious extra minutes that can be redirected to last-minute primping of your hair, makeup, and/or nails. Think about the stunning results when you walk out of the car…
1. Manicured hands should never touch gas pumps
I don’t know about you, but by driving a Tesla Model S, those carefully manicured hands should never have to touch an icky, smelly, dirty, and heavy gas pump hose again; or, if you are not a routine gas pumper, you will not have to waste any precious breath asking a man to do it for you.
So what’s holding you up ladies? According to many statistics, you command more than 60% of the automotive purchases. Who wouldn’t want a car like that? Tell us why you love, or not a Tesla Model S.

Tesla Model S Plaid battles China’s 1500 hp monster Nurburgring monster, with surprising results
There is just something about Tesla’s tuning and refinement that makes raw specs seem not as game-changing.

The Tesla Model S Plaid has been around for some time. Today, it is no longer the world’s quickest four-door electric sedan, nor is it the most powerful. As per a recent video from motoring YouTube channel Carwow, however, it seems like the Model S Plaid is still more than a match for some of its newer and more powerful rivals.
The monster from China
The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is nothing short of a monster. Just like the Model S Plaid, it features three motors. It also has 1,548 hp and 1,770 Nm of torque. It’s All Wheel Drive and weighs a hefty 2,360 kg. The vehicle, which costs just about the equivalent of £55,000, has been recorded setting an insane 7:04.957 at the Nurburgring, surpassing the previous record held by the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT.
For all intents and purposes, the Model S Plaid looked outgunned in Carwow’s test. The Model S Plaid is no slouch with its three motors that produce 1,020 hp and 1,420 Nm of torque. It’s also a bit lighter at 2,190 kg despite its larger size. However, as the Carwow host pointed out, the Model S Plaid holds a 7:25.231 record in the Nurburgring. Compared to the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra’s record, the Model S Plaid’s lap time is notably slower.
Real-world tests
As could be seen in Carwow’s drag races, however, Tesla’s tech wizardry with the Model S Plaid is still hard to beat. The two vehicles competed in nine races, and the older Model S Plaid actually beat its newer, more powerful counterpart from China several times. At one point in the race, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra hit its power limit due to its battery’s temperature, but the Model S Plaid was still going strong.
The Model S Plaid was first teased five years ago, in September 2020 during Tesla’s Battery Day. Since then, cars like the Lucid Air Sapphire and the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra have been released, surpassing its specs. But just like the Model Y ended up being the better all-rounder compared to the BYD Sealion 7 and the MG IM6, there is just something about Tesla’s tuning and refinement that makes raw specs seem not as game-changing.

500-mile test proves why Tesla Model Y still humiliates rivals in Europe
On paper, the BYD Sealion 7 and MG IM6 promised standout capabilities against the Model Y.

BYD is seeing a lot of momentum in Europe, so much so that mainstream media has taken every opportunity to argue that the Chinese automaker has beaten Tesla in the region. But while BYD sales this year in Europe are rising and Tesla’s registrations remain challenged, the raw capabilities of vehicles like the Model Y are difficult to deny.
This was highlighted in a 500-mile challenge by What Car? magazine, which showed that the new Tesla Model Y is more efficient, cheaper to run, and more reliable than rivals like the BYD Sealion 7, and even the nearly 400 KW-charging MG IM6.
Range and charging promises
On paper, the BYD Sealion 7 and MG IM6 promised standout capabilities against the Model Y. The Sealion 7 had more estimated range and the IM6 promised significantly faster charging. When faced with real-world conditions, however, it was still the Model Y that proved superior.
During the 500-mile test, the BYD nearly failed to reach a charging stop, arriving with less range than its display projected, as noted in a CarUp report. MG fared better, but its charging speeds never reached its promised nearly-400 kW charging speed. Tesla’s Model Y, by comparison, managed energy calculations precisely and arrived at each stop without issue.
Tesla leads in areas that matter
Charging times from 25% to 80% showed that the MG was the fastest at 17 minutes, while Tesla and BYD were close at 28 and 29 minutes, respectively. Overall efficiency and cost told a different story, however. The Model Y consumed 19.4 kWh per 100 km, compared to 22.2 for MG and 23.9 for BYD. Over the full trip, Tesla’s charging costs totaled just £82 thanks to its supercharger network, far below BYD’s £130 and MG’s £119.
What Car? Magazine’s testers concluded that despite BYD’s rapid sales growth and the MG IM6’s seriously impressive charging speeds, Tesla remains the more compelling real-world choice. The Model Y just offers stability, efficiency, and a proven charging infrastructure through its Supercharging network. And as per the magazine’s hosts, the Model Y is even the cheapest car to own among the three that were tested.

Tesla Cybertruck slapped with world’s least intimidating ticket, and it’s pure cringe
One cannot help but cringe and feel second-hand embarrassment at the idea of a person just driving around with a stack of these babies.

A Cybertruck parked at Stanford Shopping Center in California was recently hit with what might be the most try-hard piece of paper ever slipped under a wiper blade: a “fake citation” accusing the driver of supporting a “fascist car.”
The note, shared on X by Tesla staff program manager Ryan Torres, quickly made the rounds on X, where it quickly gained attention as an example of how not to protest.
The world’s least intimidating ticket
According to the citation, the supposed “violation” was “driving a fascist car.” The remedial action? Take the bus, call an Uber, or ride a bike. The note also dubbed Elon Musk a “chainsaw-wielding Nazi billionaire.” Now, protests against Tesla and Elon Musk have become commonplace this year, but one cannot help but cringe and feel second-hand embarrassment at the idea of a person just driving around with a stack of fake anti-Tesla/Musk citations.
Torres pointed out the irony himself in his post on X. Tesla currently employs over 140,000 Americans, and SpaceX has put the U.S. firmly back at the top of space technology. As Torres put it, maybe the person behind the world’s least intimidating ticket should “read a book on innovation before vandalizing” other people’s property.
Peak performative clownery
Not to mention that the fake ticket’s logic collapses under its own weight. EVs like the Cybertruck are literally designed to reduce emissions, not “destroy the economy.” If anything, Tesla has bolstered the United States’ economy by fueling jobs in engineering, manufacturing, and clean energy. It’s not the first time a Tesla has been the target of vandalism or politically charged notes, but this one stands out for sheer cringe value.
Torres summed it up neatly: “Peak clownery.” On that point, at least, the citation earns full marks. In a way, though, perhaps cringe fake tickets are not as bad as the literal firebombs that were being thrown at Tesla stores and cars earlier this year because some critics were gleefully misinformed about Elon Musk.
