Four o'clock on a Thursday (December 19, 2019). Not a great time to drive from Bellevue to Aberdeen, but a drenching rainstorm slowed everything even more. Driving a new Tesla Model S made the whole ordeal bearable and interesting. For one, the 17" center screen displayed Google maps and navigation, helping me avoid the worst delays and showing me, by the color of roads (red, orange, etc) where I could expect to wait. Two, the regeneration driving mode made slowing down easier and dramatically reduced the dance between the "gas" and brake pedals. Three, adaptive cruise control kept me from tailgating slower cars. Four, the car has good isolation from road noise, better than the '13 Toyota Avalon. Five, the car rides comfortably--better than the Avalon.
