Tesla has changed the entire public perception of electric cars. From the way we drive and shop for vehicles to the addition of autopilot, electrification, and technological connectivity—Tesla has shifted our overall expectations for EVs.
Here are some advancements inspired by Tesla:
  • Hands-free When autonomous driving enters the conversation, you’ll soon hear mention of Tesla following right behind it. This feature has become so popular that you may begin to see it in most vehicles, and yes,
    Tesla
    got there first.
  • Design Most electric cars are oddly designed or viewed as ugly by most shoppers. Tesla was the first to insist on having a smooth, futuristic, sleek look for their Tesla models. They changed the visual association of electric cars from being ugly and bulky to luxurious and minimal.
  • Software This is an area that most manufacturers can’t seem to reach as effectively as Tesla has been able to. The software in a Tesla updates with over-the-air technology. With this advancement, Tesla will leave other electric car manufacturers behind if they don’t adopt similar features.
