Tesla Motors. - The company producing electric cars and their components founded by the pioneer of this area (as well as the pioneer of the sphere of space tourism and space commerce) elon mask. Among the company's investors, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google Corporation Owners. The main task of the company is to make electric vehicles available to users of the average price segment; Reduce the dependence on gasoline engines, and therefore, exhaust of gases. The task of Elon Mask is to prove that on electricity you can ride. Among the latest statements of the mask - Tesla price of 20 thousand dollars in a couple of years.
By the way, Mask wants to buy all the company's shares when they reach the price of $ 420 per piece. It is much higher than the price of the market. The company's assessment in this case is 82 billion dollars. The entrepreneur says that the money has already found, but not going to discouncing current investors.
Main materials
Two months ago, Tesla filed a lawsuit against a former employee named Martin Tripp. In accordance with the claim and remarks of Ilona Mask, Tripp tried to sabotage the production line and even wanted to hide with proprietary data. Meanwhile, Tripp considers herself as a kind of covering of the cover and argues that Tesla uses dubious tactics to increase production of Model 3. Moreover, tryypes boldly claims that Tesla has shipped faulty batteries, and that Model 3, as a result, is dangerous on the road.
Today, Tesla is associated with the new modernity of the Ilona mask, but few people know that he really founded the company. Interest in innovative cars is growing as the company produces new models with more and more opportunities. But who is actually leading in the success of Tesla? This was sorted out in the TechCrunch edition.
Tesla was founded in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Mark Tarpennin. It was they who tried to develop an emerging autocontracean, while in 2004 Ilon Mask did not invest $ 7.5 million in Round A. then he and the company's board of directors.
In February 2005, Ilon Mask made another infusion in Tesla - this time in the amount of $ 13 million - the company was just engaged in the development of a previously announced Tesla Roadster car. Later in 2007, the company raised another $ 40 million in the round with the mask and the TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS Venture Fund.
On July 11, 2005, Tesla signed a contract with the English auto-producer Lotus for the manufacture of finished cars without transmission, which were Tesla Roadster.
On July 19, 2007, the CEO of the company Martin Eberhard, together with the head of the Board of Directors, Ilona Masque presented the first Tesla model at a closed party at Santa Monica airport. From now on, Tesla is an officially automobile company.
Soon, Tesla was in a difficult situation. The company ruled and needed a new leader. In December 2007, Zeev Drury, a successful high-tech entrepreneur and manager, becomes CEO and the president of the company. Under his beginning, 10% of the staff was fired to make a profit of profit. However, Droori will not watch the head of Tesla for a short time.
In October 2008, Mask persuaded Drury to become a vice-president of the company, but in December he left this position. During this period, Mask knew $ 70 million of own money on Tesla.
Tesla sold 2250 models Roadster from 2008 to 2012. It was not easy. The company tried to fulfill orders on time, simultaneously convincing potential customers in the reality of the stated auto opportunities. Participation in the British Top Gear show did not help in this.
In the Seventh Series 12 Season 12 of the Top Gear, the lead Jeremy Clarkson tests the roadster and criticizes it in the fluff and dust, emphasizing that the car has passed only 55 km. Tesla is sued with him for slander, but loses the process.
On June 30, 2008, Tesla announces Model S with a starting price from $ 50,000 and seven people. She had to become a "available" model for the whole family.
On May 19, 2009, Tesla encloses a strategic partnership with a German automotive concern Daimler AG, which buys 10% in the company for $ 50 million.
In June 2009, Tesla claimed $ 465 million from the US Department of Energy. The company paid debt in May 2013, nine months earlier.
On June 29, 2010, Tesla earned $ 26 million with the initial placement of shares on the stock exchange, becoming the first in America a public autocompany after Ford, which went to the stock exchange in 1956. From the moment of entering the IPO shares tESLA companies rose by 1229%.
Tesla announces the first parckarter and all-wheel drive car February 9, 2012. It is called Model X, and should appear on the market in 2015. The model is declared with impressive butterfly doors in the basic configuration.
In 2012, Tesla without noise began construction of a network of electrostating in California. By the time of Announcement in 2012, the Superchargers network had already six ready-made stations. Today there are more than 200 worldwide, and their distribution allows owners model S Cross the whole territory of the United States.
By 2013, Tesla developed quite stable, but the company was attended by a surprise. Immediately three Sedan Model S tanned during the traffic accidents. The company immediately solved the problem and stated that the concern cars were now reliable, but the blow on reputation was already applied. The company's shares fell by more than 20%.
New version all-wheel drive sedan Model s company. The main difference from the standard Model S is the availability of a new power plantconsisting of two electric motors. The maximum electrocar speed is 250 km / h, and the stroke reserve grew by 16 km and is 443 km.
IN complete configuration The car is equipped with a semi-autonomous control system consisting of a chamber and an ultrasonic radar. Now the public froze in anticipation of a fully autonomous model, which Ilon Mask promises to be released in the next 5-6 years.

Tesla Motors (Tesla Motors) was founded in 2003 in the United States. The main direction of the organization is the manufacture of cars operating on the electric motor. Do not think that Tesla Motors electric vehicles are small, ugly, more similar to carting cars, because it's not at all. The company produces full-fledged cars with a magnificent design, which is not inferior to gasoline analogues.
Tesla Motors cars differ from ordinary cars only high ecology. Their engine works exclusively on electrical energy and does not produce any harmful emissions in atmosphere.
TESLA MOTORS INC HISTORY
The history of this company began with the desire of an engineer Martin Eberhard to create a car that could ride no worse sports car, but at the same time have a small consumption. Such an idea was embodied in the invention of the engine operating on rechargeable battery. The founders of PayPal and Google offered to sponsor a project, which led to the creation of Tesla Motors.
Global Corporate Tesla Headquarters in Palo Alto, California
This organization first in the last half century publicly posted shares in the primary order. Their quotations rise, as evidenced by analytical statistics of the speakers.
TESLA MODEL S car
So quickly starting its activities in the United States, immediately earning considerable money, the company began to produce new models of electric cars. Today they are three. Tesla Motors in Russia is currently represented by only one car - this is a model San S. Pretty large and spacious electric car has a modern aggressive design.
We considered the main brainchild of Ilona Mask - CompanySpacex.. But the US Entrepreneur is known to the general public as a minimum of two companies:Tesla andSolarCity. (In fact, the company is founded by the cousins \u200b\u200bof the mask). SOSpacex. There is no doubt - it is really based and grown as a mask from scratch. But S.Tesla Everything is much confusing and more difficult. So, today we will talk about where it came from and what I achievedTesla Motors., or simply -Tesla.
To mask
The idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a car with an electric engine appeared earlier than the first car with the engine internal combustion. Nikola Tesla himself did not leave the idea to create a car on an electronic line by re-equipments of the already existed models. But at that time, the idea of \u200b\u200bNikola Tesla, which is called, "did not take off."
Before the appearance of Tesla on the market, electric vehicles were assigned the role of golfucars and machines for yarn fans of ecology. The electric motor was ecologically friendly because it did not throw out the fuel combustion products into the atmosphere. On this, his advantages ended. And the stock turn, and speed, and overclocking - in all articles the electric motor lost internal combustion. But there were no such fundamental contradictions in science and business that interfered with electrocars to rise to the level of mass consumption. It was necessary only to connect the existing technologies. And there were those who could do it.
At the heart of Tesla's success, there are two people - engineers Mark Tarpenning and Martin Eberhard. In the implementation of the project quick and powerful electric car They found the expression of their personal ideas. Mark was a champion of ecology, and Martin always dreamed of sports carwhich would not eat fuel liter by 8 kilometers.
Tarpenning and Eberhard met in the 90s in California, at a meeting with their common acquaintance Greg Randa. Mark and Martin reminded two characters of Sitkom: a spectacious and energetic Eberharde performed perfectly with a modest and restrained tarpenning. Soon they began to work together.
Initially, their company provided consulting services to firms that were engaged in disc drives. Soon they switched to a not yet occupied e-book market, which we call "readers". In the spring of 1997, Eberhard and Tarpening base NuovoDia and debug the production of their Rocket eBook. Quickly catching a wave of success, they sell their brainchild Gemstar-TV Guide, earning $ 187 million.
On the way to the electrocar
In the course of their consulting activities and the production of e-books, an important thought came to them: "Where else can you use advanced electronic batteries?" The answer came himself when Eberhard wanted to buy a sports car. So two other entrepreneurs decided to invest their strength and money in the creation of an electric vehicle.
At the time of the beginning of zero, there were already attempts to non-relocated fast cars with electronic drive. Eberhard came across the little yellow Tzero car from the California company AC Propulsion. She was completely electronic, while there was an acceleration like "Lamborgini". Eberhard attacked the desired trail.
Tarpenning and Eberhard saw a very accurate, which potential does not use the automotive industry, ignoring lithium-ion batteries. Now such accumulators are in most laptops and smartphones, but for car giants began zero, this technology has not been linked to the machines. The main type of batteries, which considered the company, lead-acid, were already examining their technology to the technology in which there were almost hundreds of breakthroughs. Indeed, with those capacities and efficiency, which give lead-acid batteries, they did not have to talk about any new ways of application.
Eberhard and Tarpenning decided to create a car with an asynchronous engine and a lithium-ion battery.
Asynchronous motor converts electric power alternating current in mechanical rotation. In the simplified version itself, an asynchronous engine is a stator and a rotor. Stator - full cylinderEducated from the plates of electromagnets superimposed on each other. There are copper coils on the inner walls of the stator, which, when powering, produce an alternating magnetic field (poles vary depending on the flow period). The rotor also represents a cylinder with electromagnets and a shaft in the center. It is placed in the center of the stator and rotates due to the change of the poles of the magnetic field. Such engines are often used in domestic fans.
The use of an asynchronous motor immediately eliminates a number of parts required classic car: cardan Val., bulky motor, exhaust system, gas tank and so on. By and large, the electrocaru with such an engine is needed the battery, the electric motors for the main wheels, the cooling and control system. But on the way to the working version, Eberhard and Tarpenning collided with a number of problems.
In 2003, Martin and Mark, the complete determination to create a car with an asynchronous engine and a lithium-ion battery, create their own company. The name was decided to take this so as not to be associated with the "toothless" environmental name, and immediately tune the speed, breakthrough. The decision came in itself - the company was called Tesla Motors, in honor of the inventor of an asynchronous engine.
The complexity of the automotive industry
Neither Eberhard nor Tarpenning had experience in the automotive industry. They both suspected that creating a car somewhat more complicated than an electronic book, but the real volume of tasks struck them.
In the automotive industry, modernity is not customary to create all parts of the machine, from exhaust pipe Before the bumper, independently. It is much easier and more convenient to give part of the production on outsource. The founders of Tesla Motors went further and decided to realize the entire project on the production facilities of the British Lotus.
Eberhard with Tarpenning decided that they would produce and what would be the main "chip" of their new brainchild. They amounted to a business presentation for investors, which offered an unreal: fast and productive electrocar. There was one very important part - investment. Initially managed to assemble some means from relatives and small investors. Serious investments still had to look for. And here he appeared on the horizon.
Mask comes to Tesla Motors
Tarpenning with Eberhard saw the performance of a mask in Stenford back in 2001. By 2004, Mask was a young millionaire, sold Paypal, and the founder of Spacex's own company.
Eberhard and Yang Wright, another "father" Tesla Motors, agreed with Ilona Mask about a meeting in Los Angeles, where Spacex head office was located. Differences existed about the future project, and Mask initially doubted attachments very much. However, in some things, Tesla and Mask engineers were solidar: the electric car must be powerful, beautiful, not just a little better, but to become a breakthrough and finally bury gasoline. Already after arriving at Tarpenning negotiations, Mask agrees to participate in Tesla Motors and invests $ 7.5 million. In addition to him, Google, eBay, as well as Daimler with Toyota, were later in the project. But the biggest share belonged to the mask, and he became Chairman of the Board of Tesla Motors.
The first car, which was assumed to collect, was called Tesla Roadster. As already mentioned, its main components were made in California, but the final car was going to plants in the UK.
As you know, the devil lies in the trifles, and in the long-suffering history of Roadster, this saying was confirmed. Each refinement, a change in design, even the understatement of the threshold added from several days to several months to the delivery of first cars to the market.
Initially, Tesla managed to loudly declare themselves in the market, including thanks to PR-companies with Hollywood celebrities: Leonardo Da Caprio, George Clooney and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The concept of "Signatures of the First Hundred" was created - the first one hundred ordered received a car with a sign, on which there were signatures of Eberhard, mask and tarperning. Thus, Tesla declared themselves, but the execution of the declared one had to stand.
In the meantime, the creation of the final product was still drawn and stretched. Eberhard planned to ship the first samples by 2006, but it was possible only in 2008. His rivalry with a mask was unsalled. Now Ilon Mask is everywhere famous media person, but at the beginning of zero he only gained his move. And all the merits of Tesla were given to Press Eberhard. Immediately, I want to note that I do not blame Ilona Mask in the top games and do not want to make any unfounded statements. But, nevertheless, after a series of permutations in Tesla, a new CEO appeared, and Eberharde became a technical director. Then a few more permutations, and CEO became a mask, which by 2008 put in Tesla already 55 million dollars.
Anyway, the permutations in management, dismissal and concentration on the final product went for the benefit of TESLA. Despite the complaints of the first buyers, Tesla was able to increase the production volumes of Roadster, and in 2010 the company entered the IPO - a primary public offer. From the ambitious idea of \u200b\u200btwo engineers, the company turned into a car giant.

Ilon Mask considered Roadster as the first pen sample, and he rather wanted to start developing own car. The following Tesla project was to become a breakthrough, flagship, and, of course, all Roadster errors were excluded.
The concept of a new car - Tesla Model S - presented in California Menlo Park in 2009. Model S - five-door rear-wheel drive electric car from the category of luxury cars. Although there were ideas to provide him with an internal combustion engine, Tesla's leadership decided not to move away from the initial concepts and made entirely an electric car for all the same lithium-ion batteries.
The approach to production has changed. Now Tesla had a giant factory in Frimont (California, USA), fully robotic and equipped for an electric vehicle assembly. For the European market discovered the center in the Dutch Tilburg.
Tesla Model S has become the car to which Tarpenning with Eberhard also sought, and which was a mask. She destroyed the former stereotypes of electric cars. Record covered distance without recharging was delivered in August 2017: Model S overcame the border of 1000 kilometers, driving 1078. The maximum acceleration of the car from 0 to 96 km / h per 3.1 seconds, which also could not imagine another 10 years ago. Well, finally, the record speed for electrocars - 181 km / h also belongs to Model S.
A special feature of the spread of talamobills was the appearance of a whole supercharge network (Supercharger), which can be recharged by its TESLA. Like railway In the XIX century, the supercharge network connected the eastern and west coast of the United States in century XXI. The first Russian supercharge appeared in the suburbs.
Tesla Model S has also become a commercially successful product: more than 150 thousand modifications of Model S, 92 of which are sold in the world to this point in the world.
In addition to Model S, Tesla was designed and released the Tesla Model X crossover and plan to release the cheapest option of Teslamobil - Tesla Model 3. By the way, as soon as it was announced the preservation of Model 3, on the first week the car ordered 325,000 people. Here is such confidence.
Of course, Ilona Mask once again managed to shake the market. Model S has become a serial and popular electrocarcation, even despite its considerable price. It is possible that for many buyers it is more than just a car. Startups, California, Jobz, Wozniak, Google, Apple, Palo Alto, Stepford - All this is organically supplemented by another element of the future: an electric car. And although gasoline is still far from the collapse, it is quite possible that the beginning is put. So we will not forget those who stood at the origlists - Martin Eberhard and the brand of tarpenning.

What kind of car is this Tesla? On the one hand, autoconecern, at one time, produced a furor in the car market in the United States, released a full and, can be said, the perfect electric car, on the other - the last and one of the most popular models of Tesla - Model S - is a huge vague car, which is hard to manage enough Terms of urban traffic jams. What to talk about the absence of the industry for electric vehicles in our country today. But one clearly exactly: if the future looks like Tesla Model S looks like, then such a future is fine, because Tesla Model S is the safest car in the world!
Meanwhile, this looks like Tesla Model S
Detail about Tesh
When you go down in the seat of a high-class car for which you are ready to give a seven-wing amount in rubles (the price of Tesla Model S, taking into account imports to Russia, will be at least 5 million rubles), you expect certain things: acceleration that presses you to the seat, top Stereo equipment, pleasant to the touch skin everywhere, where only you can, Horth-in Röv, a powerful engine and, of course, a large budget for high-octane gasoline to feed such a car. It can be said that almost all of these aspects are covered in the case of the Tesla car. It is extremely dynamic (at least not so fast), within it, you are covered by a variety of fantasies, and it is abuse, like a rocket, but at the same time practically a silent, and he will never burn. The first serial car Tesla Roadster was also the first high-performance in the world electric car.
Unlike the traditional gasoline engine of the car, TESLA does not contain hundreds of moving parts. Its nutrition takes place in total by four main systems:
- Energy Storage System (ESS)
- Power electronics module (PEM)
- Electric motor
- Sequental gearbox
But about the technical stuffing of Tesla, let's talk later, and now a little interesting and general information about what the Tesla car!
Tesla Motors is American automotive companywhich is located in the famous Silicon Valley and develops, produces and sells electric vehicles and components of electrical transmission and charger. Tesla was widely recognized for the first time, thanks to the Tesla Roadster model - the world's first electric sports car, but in Russia the company became famous when they started talking about model Model S is the second Tesla model - a completely electric luxurious sedan.
Model Tesla Roadster - the company's first car
Tesla also displays the components of electrical transmission to the markets of various countries, including lithium-ion batteries for automakers, including Daimler and Toyota. CEO Tesla - Elon Mask.
Tesla Motors is named after the famous Physics Nikola Tesla. Tesla Roadster uses an AC electric motor, refined directly from the original engine of 1982. Tesla Roadster, the company's first car, had a trip range over 200 miles (320 km) on one battery charging. In the period from 2008 to March 2012, more than 2250 Tesla Roadsters were sold in 31 countries. Nevertheless, Tesla ceased to accept orders for a roadster in the US market in August 2011, and later Tesla introduced new model - Tesla Model S is a completely electric sedan (March 26, 2009).
Tesla's strategy has always been an imperative consumer electronics and entry into car market expensive high-quality final product-oriented buyers. Since the company and its products ripe today for adoption by the consumer, it will move to larger, more competitive markets at lower prices, and one day will enter the Russian market. While basic price Roadster was $ 109,000, the base price model S is $ 57,400 in the US, and the company plans a little later to start producing a car worth up to $ 30,000 under the code name Bluestar.
TESLA MODEL X
As for the declared goals of the Tesla, they are banal - an increase in the number and diversity of electric vehicles available to the mass consumer for:
- buying our own vehicles in salons and online stores;
- buying the components of the transmission.
But the most interesting is that customers cannot purchase cars in dealerships. Customers must enjoy the Tesla car on the official website of Tesla Motors. However, in the US there are quite a few galleries stores that act as car dealers, allowing people to learn more about Tesla Motors and her cars. Galleries are in a state, limited by the law on the protection of the dealer network, which prevent the price, test drives and other nuances of Tesla cars.
Direct sales strategy for customers and ownership of own shops and service centers are a significant departure from the traditional dealer business model in many market throughout the planet. Tesla Motors is the only automaker that sells cars directly directly to consumers, and even though Tesla Motors has no independent dealers, dealer associations in several countries have already submitted numerous claims against Tesla Motors, trying to block the company from the sale of cars in their countries.
Tesla cars in different countries
Tesla opened its first foreign store in Canada on November 16, 2012 in the shopping center Yorkdale in Toronto, Ontario. The store has interactive displays and design studios, allowing customers to configure Model S and view the results on the 85-inch wall. As of March 2014, there are already four Tesla Gallery stores in Canada: in Montreal, two - in Toronto and another in Vancouver.
Tesla has opened its first store in Europe in June 2009 in the London area of \u200b\u200bNightbridge, with subsequent expansion in Munich in September. And in October 2013, the London dealer moved to the Westfield London shopping center. By the beginning of 2014, Tesla has 24 galleries in Europe, but in Russia, unfortunately, until the manufacturer's galleries (at the date of writing of the article), although the company's engineer has already visited our country in early 2014.
Tesla opened his first Japanese salon in the aoyema in November 2010. Another hall was subsequently opened in Osaka in the same Japan. Tesla Motors also created a branch in Hong Kong and the exhibition hall in the same place in 2011, and since July 2010, the branch of the Tesla in Singapore works, but later the company ceased its activities in the country due to the lack of tax breaks.
The Chinese site Tesla was launched on December 16, 2013 for the sale of Model S and Model X. Then it was the opening of the TESLA exhibition hall in Beijing in November 2013.
Australia
Tesla Motors opened the salon in Sydney in 2010. By the way, in Australia, Roger drove along the entire east coast of the continent, covering the distance of more than 2,500 miles (4,000 km) - the longest distance traveled by an electric car in Australia.
Now let's take a look that is two most famous models Tesla cars.
What kind of car Tesla Roadster?
The heart of Tesla Roadster is a 3-chiphas 4-pole electric induction engine that weighs only 32 kg. Tesla tests and independent testing show that the roadster can reach 100 kilometers per hour for about four seconds, and its speed exceeds about 210 kilometers per hour. But the productivity of the rhodster surprises not only speed and acceleration. The unique properties of the electric motor give it a huge advantage over the internal combustion engine from the point of view of the torque - force that seeks to use the power range - operating speeds, at which the engine works efficiently. Roadster can generate a large amount of torque even with very low revolutionsAnd the engine is associated with this can always give a lot of horsepower enough. By the way, the turnover of such an engine can reach more than 13,000 per minute, which very few racing internal combustion engines can repeat.
This kind of motor reaction eliminates the need for complex gears, so that the roadster has only three transmissions - two transmissions front stroke And one reverse transmission. The shift is performed manually, but there is no clutch in the car. It also means that there is no breakdown when you switch the transfer.
Tesla Roadster can go much more distances than previous electric cars. The estimated range of one rhodster trip is about 400 kilometers on one charge.
Most of the hype around Roadster was thanks to him appearance - while earlier electric cars, as a rule, were crowded and ugly, Tesla Roadster looks and feels like a sports car. In addition to such basics as heated seats, a stereo system with a CD player, brakes with ABS and two airbags, a roadster has several unique features:
- Unique code that allows you to start the car.
- Special receptionist, which can be programmed to manage radio frequency controlled devices, such as your gate or garage doors.
- IPod docking station connector.
- Door handles with electric drive.
Technical characteristics Tesla Roadster:
- Acceleration: from zero to 100 - about 4 seconds.
- Dimensions: 3 947.16 mm in length, 1 871.98 mm wide, 1 127.76 mm in height.
- Weight: 1 134 kg (may be changed depending on safety rules).
- Maximum speed: 210 km / h.
- Mileage on one charge: 400 km.
- Battery life: useful life of a battery over 160,000 km.
What kind of car Tesla Model s
The model S is a completely electric Tesla sedan, with a fresh design and manually assembled in parts - here are just two of the reasons why it costs so much attention - a lot of people and did not think that Elon Mask is a charismatic co-founder of the company - will be able to implement it.
As of August 2013, Tesla exceeded Porsche, Volvo, Lincoln, Land Rover. And Jaguar in California Market Sales. California is an important milestone due to its relatively high income, and here Tesla Model s produced a real extension.
Some journalists believe that Model S can be one of best carsever built. More objective indicators indicate that this is one of the safest cars. Tesla argues that the highest security rating of any car in history is achieved using Model S. or, in other words, the driver and passengers in Tesla Model s are likely to survive in case of accidentthan passengers and driver of any other vehicle on the road. Even the purchase of Model S is an unusual procedure, and not by the usual "cultivation" of the network of franchise dealers. Tesla controls the entire process of sale and delivery of the car.
Tesla Model S is the only fully electric car on the global market, which was developed from scratch. One of nissan modelsFor comparison, it was widely recognized as an innovative idea of \u200b\u200ba fully electric vehicle, but it was designed and built using most existing Nissan components. And, although Model S is based on the innovations of Nikola Tesla, which has been more than a hundred years old, it is still a shining light for the future of automotive industry, especially in a pair with a company high-tech batteries Tesla. By the way, the batteries - buyers can choose from batteries with 60 kWh characteristics and 85 kWh, as well as 85 kWh with additional features Performance. The first battery is designed for mileage up to 334.7 kilometers on one charging and has maximum speed 193 kilometers per hour. A more upgraded battery provides 458.7 kilometers of run and can reach a speed of 209 kilometers per hour. Oh yeah, and both packages do not produce harmful emissions at all.
What is the secret of Model S, which allowed to make it like that, and why other car manufacturers cannot repeat it? Well, this is what makes this model such an exclusive, and it should be noted first. Since the model S has no traditional gasoline engine Under the hood, the benefits of safety are dual character. The front part is used to storing luggage as the rear part of the usual gasoline sedan, which means mainly that this is a large deformation zone that absorbs most of the impact when front collision. And since there is no fuel on board at all, it seems like nothing to light up. TESLA electric motor is relatively small and installed next to rear axis, which means that he is unlikely to be on the path of damage during the strike. Model s also has a very low risk of overturning, thanks to a very low center of severity. The aluminum design of the car means that the body is very light and very strong, as this aluminum is also reinforced with steel.
Model S can be charged at home or at work using special charging stations. The hardware station enters some standard models and is available as additional package For $ 2,000 on more inexpensive models.
However, tesla cars Not flawless, and one of the biggest problems seems to keep the charge of batteries. The owners inform the strong loss of charge in the battery while the car is parked. The problem also consists in fixing similar problems When updating softwareAlthough the boot of operating system updates occurs through Wi-Fi.
Prototype model Tesla Model C
In addition, the well-known problem of TESLA machines are their operation in low temperatures, this is what stops the buyer from Russia first when buying Tesla, and the rapid discharge of the battery in the context of the Russian is the main problem.
