Getting behind the wheel of a Tesla Model X for the first time is always a pretty big jump – even when you’re stepping from a brand new Camry. But Roosi, a 92-year old Estonian woman, has just come out of her 43-year old Moskvitch.
Equipped with nearly everything under the sun, like an automatic transmission, autopilot, and a healthy dollop of instant acceleration, the Tesla is a pretty far cry from Rossi’s sullen 1974 Moskvitch. I mean, the old Bloc tank may be a strong and sturdy lump of Soviet mobility, but it’s not exactly the pinnacle of technical innovation, is it?
Having been offered to be ridden around in it by a friend, Roosi - who just got her license renewed for 10 years - is given the chance to have a go at the Model X herself. As you can imagine, it’s a bit of a shock at first. But in a good way.
However, despite the huge year gap between the two cars, and the total unfamiliarity with the tech-filled Tesla, Rossi warms up to it pretty quickly. Even if she does find out about the strength of modern brakes the hard way.
