unbox therapy's coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by Squarespace so I got some prize and I got a cheeseburger Hey I'm gonna hit it with the milkshake now yes sir that's what you need to do when you take a brand-new unreleased car Alfred car drives nice really because that's an electric this is my first time driving an all-electric car so we have a couple of displays up here this one is dedicated to how much range you have remaining you can see it says 41 miles there the car can do between 80 and 100 miles depending on conditions whether or not you're using air conditioning and stuff like that it can recharge then in 3 hours so a fairly quick recharge I believe on 240 volts in cooperation with charge point so if you have a charging station on the charge point network near you you can obviously use that to recharge as well the information system here is controlled down here rather than be touch which kind of makes sense because this is where your hand naturally is in this location and this is a bit of a reach and so by turning this dial here I can I can affect changes up on the display here and you have a d-pad as well as a menu button this menu button will bring up you know multimedia stuff navigation bluetooth for your phone etc and you just click down to select a particular one and I thought it was pretty cool when the hotels actually showed up you can see them over there on the left hand side if we go down this strip it'll probably be even better-looking just waiting for the world's longest light the whole car the hope the whole concept here is to heaven as renewable materials as possible in use so the wood up here in the front he said that was eucalyptus wood right now I it's an open port wood so it doesn't need a lot of chemicals or finishes on top of it same thing on the doors this material over here was a made out of recycled plastic bottle there's a lot of tech inside of here but we were told that there's gonna be an option for a park assist which is kind of on on another level at least for what I've heard of a park assist feature where if you're in an urban environment it'll actually scope out would-be parking spots on the sides of the road if it sees one that is sufficient in size for this car to fit it'll notify you at which point you can either select left or right and enable the auto park or Park Assist feature so that it can park itself into that spot but that's kind of the next level as far as I have heard the part of it where it's gonna be able to identify the spot prior to you needing to see it or pick it or whatever which is part of the battle when you're trying to drive through an urban environment is seeing where those spots even exist so yeah the car is gonna be $41,000 to start and then of course if you trick it out with everything you can add it'll go up from there obviously there's more and more sort of activity in the all-electric space and it appears to be bringing prices down but in terms of fit and finishing quality inside it feels like a BMW the interior space see if you can show them the backseat like yeah I was told that the interior space is equivalent to a 3-series BMW so a reasonable amount of interior space and a lot of headroom like I'm 6 feet tall and I'm nowhere close to that headliner there and the window there actually gives you a perception of even more space so you don't feel cramped in here at all even if you're a slightly bigger person when we were back at the in-n-out burger we got all kinds of people paying attention to the car and seeing it and being like what is that it looks so unusual etc mostly like really positive feedback the entire frame of the vehicle is actually constructed using carbon fiber and aluminum so most of the body is carbon fiber and back at the Convention Center you can actually see just the body the frame identified and it's amazing how much of it actually is carbon fiber and that's been decided on they've chosen carbon fiber for a couple of different reasons it's strong while still being lightweight so it gives the car a better level of efficiency than if they had have done with traditional materials and then on top of that it's a relatively renewable material Oh another thing I forgot to mention that happened when I first got into the car was somebody pulled up really tight behind me or was trying to get in and it was identified on the screen that there was an object really close to me so it has proximity sensors all around it and it was actually really cool and really responsive as soon as I pulled away it removed that sort of warning so it didn't need to be prompted like I didn't need to turn it on or it wasn't only when I was in Reverse or anything like that if the same interior spaces the face here with a much shorter wheelbase because let's take a picture with my boys it's a cool shot as far as cycling did anybody else realize about cycling pieces right now silence Squarespace apps
