Two neighbourhood teenagers went for a ride, then had a play with the infotech and gave their views as EV drivers of tomorrow.
For a fresh view of the emerging electric vehicle world in Australia, I invited the teenage children of my neighbours for a drive in our Tesla Model 3 SR + as well as a chat about it. Marcus, 15, and Stella, 16, will soon be going through that rite of passage of getting a driver’s license and obtaining a vehicle.
Although both teenagers are shy, their actions spoke volumes. After the drive , I left them in the car to play with the screen. Thirty minutes later, I had to ask them to come to the computer with me so I could record their thoughts.Marcus tells me that he has done a science assignment for high school on climate change. He saw EVs as one of the major factors that will help solve the issue. Both admitted they knew little of how the tech worked.
“It’s a rising industry in the world today,” said Marcus. Stellar was curious about the technology behind the braking and the Autopilot. They were both interested to know when EVs would achieve price parity with petrol cars. Neither was swayed by my explanation ofThey were impressed by the smooth and silent drive. “The car seems very safe because of all the sensors and safety features. It’s simple and appears to have less extra mass,” Stella commented.
So, what kept them in the car for 30 mins after the drive? Playing with the toys. They found the Tesla to be a fun car with lots to do — like the karaoke & fart mode. Stella told me the screen was mind blowing. “We played around with everything.” And their thoughts about the future of transport: “It’s all going electric. It will be a rapid transition. Fossil fuels will die out.” They will certainly be EV drivers of tomorrow.
