## Resource

Jason’s got a new episode out on the Hagerty YouTube channel about a car that most enthusiasts love to hate - The Tesla Model S. While it entered production as a Car of the Year winner and paved a path for Tesla’s eventual success in selling cars on the global stage, people have loathed the company’s existence in recent years due to sociopolitical actions from CEO Elon Musk. But is the car good enough to diverge from the hate? === Visit https://JasonSentMe.com for a quote on Hagerty's Guaranteed Value® Insurance! === Ignoring the lever-pulling of one man in particular - it’s hard to argue otherwise that the Tesla Model S is the most significant car of the last 75 years. Enjoying a near 14 year production run, you’d think it’s getting long in the tooth - but actually, it’s been continuously upgraded every year in both hardware and software, so much so that the final version - despite looking very similar - only shares 3% of its components with the original car that debuted in 2012. Over the course of the episode, Jason and Derek compare the Model S to other revolutionary cars in society - like the Ford Model T, Volkswagen Beetle, Citroen DS, 2CV, Mini Cooper, and several others with varying similarities.
