On the latest episode of Revelations, Jason Cammisa looks back on the life of the Tesla Model S, one of, if not the most influential car of all time. Tesla's first sedan wasn't perfect. But it was an industry game-changer not (just) because it was electric. Not (just) because it was from a startup. Not (just) because it set the stage for the company to create the world's bestselling passenger car. But because it was created using Silicon Valley-style continual iteration. Tesla never stopped improving the Model S — rolling in hundreds, or even thousands, of running changes during its production: both hardware and software. In the end, it shares merely 3% of its parts with the original 2012 Model S, roughly equivalent to 60 years of progress at a traditional automaker. Watch Now:

The most significant car of our lifetimes. This is the subject of the latest episode of Revelations with Jason Cammisa, and let's be clear. This isn't about a person, this isn't about politics, and this isn't about whether you love or hate electrification. This is about a car. A car that transformed an entire industry, and will ultimately be responsible for killing off that industry. This is the story of the Tesla Model S. The car that, like it or not, changed the entire world. Watch Now:

12 YEARS AGO: TESLA DELIVERS FIRST MODEL S Elon: "What's the model S really all about? It's about breaking a spell. The world has been under this illusion that electric cars cannot be as good as gasoline cars. That if you have to go with an electric car, you're accepting a product that's worse. What the model S is fundamentally about is breaking that illusion. It's showing that an electric car can, in fact, be the best car in the world. What we believe customers will discover is that this is the best car in every dimension that matters." Source: Model S Delivery Event, June 22, 2012. Credit: Tesla

Doug DeMuro ranked the Tesla Model S as the #1 most important car of the last 30 years in his new video. Doug: "The Model S really changed the world. It made you think that EVs could be cool, fast, luxurious. It really reset any public opinion about EVs, that you didn't have to make major compromises; They (Tesla) created a cultural icon. If you created a list of the top 10 all-time cars that changed the world, Model S is in the top 5."

Jason Cammisa on part of the reason why Tesla is discontinuing the Model S/X (in his interpretation): "The cost to reengineer the Model S to continue to comply with all safety and crash regulations would be greater than to start over, and I think that's a dying segment, the luxury car segment. You can look at the volumes of the Model 3/Y, and you see you're better off spending the money on developing those." (via The Carmudgeon Show). Full podcast linked below:

Jason Cammisa on software-defined vehicles being Tesla’s idea: “The car (Model S) itself that I drove is nearly 10 years old. It drove itself the whole way. Think about that. My e-Golf is a 2019; it left the factory, and it’s static from here on out. But here is this car (Model S) that has evolved and gotten additional features, and it can f**cking drive itself. It pulled into the parking lot. What 10-year-old car in the industry gains features? None. That’s when you start to think this company is just different.” via The Carmudgeon Show:

Model S & X changed automotive history forever by proving that an EV could be the best car possible – of any kind. By inspiring other automakers to believe in EVs, they pushed the industry from 50k cars total in 2011 to 21 million sold per year. Many automotive firsts: Model S – first EV to achieve a 400-mile range, first production car to do 0-60 in <2 seconds & first production sedan to run a 9.23 second quarter mile. It was also the first vehicle with a roof so strong that it broke NHTSA's testing machine. Model X – quickest production SUV & the first to not roll over in regulatory tests. Model S & X also initiated real-world AI! We never stopped refining either vehicle. Both have 40% fewer parts today & share only 3% of parts with their original version. 60 years of evolution (by conventional car development standards) squeezed into 14 years! 750,000 Model S & X built. Your support – from our earliest days to now – made Tesla into what it is today. Thank you to each of our owners ❤️

🇺🇸 Cybercab is rolling off the line and it's already rewriting the record books. 165 watt-hours per mile. Half the energy of the original Model S. Elon: "It's kind of crazy to think we've gotten that far over time." The most efficient EV ever certified by the EPA. And it drives itself. Tesla built the most efficient car in history and made it autonomous. Tesla, SpaceX, Elon Musk
