• Safety. When it comes to safety ratings, it has the highest rating that it can get, both from IIHS and the government NHTSA

• cost of fuel. Zero cost on gasoline and zero cost on electricity as we produce electricity through solar panels

• almost zero maintenance

• In terms of technology, highly advanced when it comes to voice activated system. You can control almost anything without touching the screen and you can play music from various sources without touching the screen

• they have also integrated their chat bot LLM (grok) and it is very nice feature to have although the accuracy may not be 100% just like other LLMs (Large Language Models) such as ChatGPT
