Meeting Model S: A Date with Destiny
June 23rd, 2022 marked the 10 year anniversary of the first customer deliveries of the Tesla Model S. This summer also marks the 10 year anniversary of me getting hired by Tesla. To commemorate this, I thought I’d share one of the most profound moments of my life — the day I first saw the Tesla Model S in
company was doing that I wanted to contribute in any way I could to help it. This led to Tesla actually flying me out to its Silicon Valley headquarters in Palo Alto for a round of interviews in the Fall of 2010. Finally, the day had come when I would get to check out the production-intent iteration of Model S in person.Tesla had a pre-production beta Model S on public display for the first time, right in downtown New York City. It was a humble setup.
I was flabbergasted by the lack of attendance; that the car wasn’t getting absolutely mobbed by people and the press. It was like happening upon a super famous musician like Lady Gaga doing a solo acoustic set in an empty bar in the middle of the day on Bleeker Street. “” I thought.
Subtle design touches sprinkled throughout the car’s exterior further added to its allure; like the charge port that was cleverly hidden behind the driver-side brake light reflector, and the beautiful flush chrome “auto-present” handles that extended from the doors as you approached the car, as if to welcome you inside. As excited as I was to finally get to see the car’s exterior design in person, that excitement was dwarfed by the euphoria I felt when I sat in the driver’s seat.
