The most convenient option for travelling around Dubai for visitors is to rent a car. Tesla cars are a good option. You can rent such models as 3 Performance, Y, S Plaid, X Plaid, Y Performance and others.
The summer months in Dubai are very hot, with temperatures that can reach 40°C and above. If you do plan to rent a car during this time, it is preferable to do so early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the heat. This period can be good for renting as the demand for cars may be lower and prices more attractive.
Avoid peak periods such as New Year holidays and El Fitr or El Adha celebrations. These days become crowded with tourists and the demand for car hire increases. Also keep in mind that Friday and Saturday are weekends in the UAE and there may be more locals out on the roads on holiday during these times.
Tesla cars have long been popular in the electric vehicle market due to the many benefits they offer. Below are the main advantages that make Tesla attractive to renters:
Fuel savings: Tesla offers electric vehicles that do not require petrol or diesel. This results in significant savings on fuel.
Excellent driving dynamics: Tesla models are known for their impressive acceleration. For example, the Tesla Model S can accelerate to 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds, which is comparable to the performance of supercars.
Good range: Tesla offers some of the best range among electric cars. Some models can travel up to 500 kilometres on a single charge, making them more suitable for long journeys.
Autopilot and Full-Handling: Tesla uses advanced autopilot technology that allows the car to automatically steer in many situations. Features like automatic braking, lane keeping and auto parking make driving much easier.
High safety scores: All Tesla models receive excellent crash test scores and are equipped with advanced safety systems, including multiple airbags and collision avoidance systems.
The electric batteries are located at the bottom of the vehicle, providing better stability and reducing the risk of rollovers.
3 Performance. Tesla Model 3 Performance is the top configuration of the most popular electric car from Tesla. Traditionally, the car is made with an emphasis on minimalism and practicality. However, this restrained silhouette is countered by incredible dynamics and power. The electric car is equipped with a 75-kWh battery, has a range of 530 kilometres and accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds. And the maximum speed that the electric car can reach is 260 kilometres. In addition, the car is equipped with a navigation system, LTE, Wi-Fi, voice control, seats made of pleasant eco leather, keyless access, stabilisation, automatic braking and collision avoidance systems. Among other things, the electric car has a high level of safety, which is achieved with the help of design features, a large number of airbags and crash prevention systems.
Y. Tesla's proprietary Autopilot system provides fully autonomous driving with a high level of safety. Autopilot recognises obstacles in difficult weather conditions and even in front of vehicles ahead. In addition, Autopilot will warn in advance of the likelihood of a frontal or side collision and take the necessary action to avoid the danger.
Y Performance. The interior strikes with its minimalism and even asceticism. Comfortable leather armchairs, wide armrests, a double stand for large glasses, but Tesla Model Y does not have the usual torpedo and dashboard from the word ‘absolutely’. All this is replaced by a single touch screen, which displays all information about on-board systems of the car and actual data on driving (speed, battery charge, range, etc.). The screen can be controlled not only by touch, but also by voice commands. The screen also has ports for Flash drives, which automatically record video data from the electric car's view cameras.
S Plaid. The Tesla Model S electric car is primarily focused on driver comfort. There is nothing superfluous in the interior of the Model S: an informative dashboard and a 17-inch touch screen. Both displays show the necessary information about the state of the car, and the central monitor provides access to calls, Internet, maps, multimedia system and other settings. The car is equipped with heating of all seats and steering wheel for comfortable operation in any conditions. The upholstery of seats is high-quality soft eco-leather. You will also appreciate the driver profile setting: the most comfortable position of mirrors and seats is programmed for each key.
X Plaid. The Model X Plaid is performance-oriented. This model features three AC motors with lithium-ion battery (3-three (ASM) asynchronous) that provide sharp acceleration. It has all-wheel drive (AWD).
Be sure to visit attractions such as:
Palm Jumeirah: A palm tree-shaped artificial island known for its luxury resorts, restaurants and residential complexes. The island is home to the Atlantis Hotel.
Al Fahidi: A historic district featuring traditional Arabian architecture, museums and cultural sites.
Some areas of Dubai require a time-based parking fee (usually paid at machines located near car parks). Payment can be made in cash or via credit cards.
Know where you want to go and research possible routes well in advance. Make sure you are aware of possible diversions or road repairs. If possible, avoid visiting popular tourist spots during peak hours. It is best to plan your journeys for less busy hours.
All passengers must wear seatbelts, regardless of whether they are in the front or back seat. This is a mandatory rule and fines are imposed if it is broken.
