Matthew Inman and his web-based comic, The Oatmeal, chose a very animated way to review his very own Tesla Model S. This might be the first-ever cartoon-based review of an actual car.
The full cartoon can be found here and it’s quite the read. He seems to have taken quite a liking to the car, which he has dubbed the “Intergalactic SpaceBoat of Light and Wonder.” Among the inevitable silliness, The Oatmeal addresses some real issues about the car (including the infamous fires) and tells us what’s like to live with an “Electric CruiseBeast.”
The review does have its foibles (including implying that the electric car is a new idea) but is otherwise a great way to dissolve 20 minutes of time. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come, because we love the idea of an entertaining cartoon-based review.
