Check out the coolest features on every Tesla (TSLA)

There are currently three Tesla vehicles on the road: the original Roadster and its later variations; the Model S sedan; and the Model X SUV.
If all goes according to plan, the mass-market Model 3 sedan will hit the streets in 2017.
As it turns out, I've driven all of Tesla's cars, and I went for a brief ride in a prototype of the Model 3 earlier this year.
At one level, Tesla's are cars like any other cars. They have doors and wheels and windows.
But they also have distinctive elements — and each Tesla has it own cool features.
I've highlighted my favorites. Here's a breakdown:
THE ROADSTER: Tesla's first car was a sexy little two-seater that redefined what an electric car could be. I drove the Roadster in 2010 (it was the Roadster Sport), and I sampled the car again in 2016.

COOLEST FEATURE: Acceleration! Electric cars are fast. The Roadster is fast — The Sport posts 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds. There are faster Teslas, but in the Roadster, you really feel the speed.

SECOND COOLEST FEATURE: None! The Roadster was all about proving that a modern electric car didn't have to be a glorified golf cart. Other than that, the Lotus-derived design is a bare-bones sports car that doesn't even have power steering.
