This video pits a $100,000 Tesla Model S 90D against a $1,000 Inmotion V8 electric unicycle in a commuter race across Minneapolis. The reviewer, driving the Tesla, initially believes it to be the ultimate commuter. However, the unicycle rider, Preston, argues his device's ability to use bike paths and bypass traffic gives him an advantage. The race highlights the Tesla's comfortable, autopilot-assisted highway driving versus the unicycle's agile, traffic-avoiding route through city paths. While the Tesla offers a relaxed experience, the unicycle provides a thrilling, albeit riskier, ride. Ultimately, the Tesla wins due to the unicycle rider's significant crash after hitting a pothole at speed, which also resulted in a broken bone. The video concludes that while the unicycle is a fun and practical thousand-dollar option, the Tesla remains the more reliable and safer commuter, especially when considering the unicycle's inherent risks.
