If you're a collector of classic cars, you're probably familiar with Hagerty. Launched in 1984, this industry leader protects more than a million vehicles, thus ensuring some of the best collector cars in the world. With real-world expertise valuing the classics, Hagerty has decided to compile a comprehensive list that includes: "the biggest vehicle of every decade, from the early days of the automobile to the present day."
Hagerty notes that their "final list", which covers everything from pre-war luxury to hot rods … highlights some of the brightest moments in the history of the year. automobile. "What unites most cars on this list?" Andrew Newton, from Hagerty, explains, "The cars are still operating as they always do, with a piston engine powered by the black cap that we Ground pompons.A single car from the 2010s illuminated a different path. "
Newton adds:" Only one [car] showed the world not only the efficiency and environmental benefits of energy electric, but it also showed power advantages and wrapped it all up in a sleek, attractive and expensive package, but achievable.In other words, only one made the electric car cool and c & Is the Tesla Model S.

A caveat though, Hagerty notes, "We are technically not through the 2010s, [but] we think it's already safe to choose the best car to come out of this decade." |
Newton calls the Model S, "a luxury sedan that looked handsome … [yet] was also decidedly different below." The absence of an internal combustion engine and a transmission tunnel gave it tons of extra storage space, and the placement of heavy batteries gave it a low center of gravity.The safety ratings of the Model S were excellent, the function Autopilot has enabled semi-autonomous driving and the Tesla Supercharger network has alleviated the limited range problem of electric cars by allowing owners to charge their cars much faster on long journeys. "
In addition," the S model is just a wildly fast car.The constant torque available at the stop pushes up on the accelerator pedal in a S model both addictive and addictive, and properly equipped cars with c their modes & # 39; Ludicrous & # 39; and & # 39; Insane & # 39; will move faster than any other car. buy today. "
Newton concludes," Tesla [Model S] went in a direction more radically different than any other car in recent memory. More importantly, he did it with great success because instead of going out with an all-electric car that people thought they had to drive or that they had drive, Tesla came with an electric car that people really want to drive. We will always remember the one who made electric cars really desirable, and that's why it's one of the biggest.
