Tesla Model X spotted in Lagos: Welcome to the new age?

It takes 10 hours to fully charge the Tesla Model X

Electric vehicles (EVS) are getting a lot of publicity lately. They are believed to be the future as some advanced countries have started getting rid of carbon-emitting cars infamous for polluting the environment. Hopes for having EVs across the streets of Nigeria were dashed after a motion by Senator Ben Murray Bruce to make them the main vehicles on Nigerian roads by 2035 did not see the light of day. Nonetheless, a few people in the country have acquired it. One of those people is an Indian currently living in Nigeria. His Tesla Model X was spotted at a mall in the highbrow town of Ikoyi in Lagos.

It has autopilot mode

The Tesla Model X drives on an autopilot system. In other words, it can drive itself to a large extent. However, it requires detailed system mapping to do that. Since that is not readily available in Nigeria yet, the autopilot feature is useless here.

Having this kind of car means that you will have to make provision for charging it yourself as there are no charging spots for it on Nigerian streets. If you fail to charge it well at home and take it for a ride, it might stop you on the road – OYO will be your case.
