About this episode

"

There are three things that make Teslas’ technology unique: the user experience, the auto driving features, and over-the-air updates. We took a Tesla out for a test drive, and we’re sharing a peek under the hood, or more like a peek behind the screen. Learn about Tesla voice commands, self-driving mode, and other Tesla tech features, including those that are overly hyped. Plus, learn “take care of.”
