Tesla car and everything about him

Machines on the electric motor TESLA are environmentally friendly electric vehicles with exemplary specifications. These machines drive up to 500 kilometers on one charging and show a good dynamics in acceleration.

Electric Tesla Ilon Mask

Founder I. cEO Tesla and Spacex is one of the most significant figures inserting forces and funds into human progress and space development.

Ilon (Elon) Rive Mask (Eng. Elon Reeve Musk) - Canadian-American Engineer, Entrepreneur, Inventor, Investor. Ilon Mask is the founder of Paypal, Spacex, Tesla, as well as a member of the Board of Directors of SolarCity, founded by its cousins.

How the electric car works

The electric car is a vehicle driven by one or more electric motors. Externally, electric cars look exactly as gasoline.

The only thing that gives an electric vehicle during his movement is practically complete absence Sound when operating the engine. But although, externally, gasoline and electric cars are very similar, according to the principle of their work, they differ significantly.
Under the hood at the electric car, instead of a gasoline engine, an electric motor is installed, which is powered by batteries. Batteries perform the function " fuel tank"And provide
electrical engine The energy required to move the vehicle. The electric vehicle is also equipped with a controller - an electric motor control unit that adjusts the currents in the network between the batteries and the engine.

All other components in electric car Almost the same as in gasoline: gearbox, brakes, airbags, etc.

Electric vehicles massively started filling the streets of New York another 100 years ago. But why are they still not popular all over the world? The answer is simple - at that time there were no enough powerful batteries. With the development of battery technology with a large capacity, and a long time ago.

Tens years ago at various exhibitions and in news plots began to come across the eyes of the prototypes of electric cars, which were quite effective and practical. Each of these new products had something unique and innovative, some manufacturers even launched them into mass production and installed the price available for buyers. But why the main means of movement still remain cars with gasoline engines?

All because at that time did not exist an electric vehicle, which would be able to make a revolution. All electrocars were praised in narrow circles of Gicks, but did not find recognition among ordinary people.

There were family models that could save money, but there was no supercar, a notebook on the cover with which schoolchildren would be sweeping from the shelves and about which boys dreamed from an early age. In the world of electric cars there was no "iPhone" and his Steve Jobs, who would have developed him. There was no electric car with "Wow!" Effect.

Start

Now such a car revolutionary exists. Meet Tesla Model S. To change the world for the better, this full-size five-door liftbek luxury has started since 2012. The ideological father of the project is the American engineer and entrepreneur Ilon Mask, who in 2009 presented the prototype Model S Wedain on the world on Frankfurt Motor Show.

Today, few people remember how many problems were preceded by this presentation, the company Tesla Motors. It was even on the verge of bankruptcy. However, Mask believed in the idea of \u200b\u200bserial electric vehicle to the end, put all his savings and was able to find investors. And subsequently his efforts gave their fruits: the first limited batch of 1,000 copies worth about $ 100 thousand each went away as hot cakes!

Such a fantastic success is not surprising, since still "Tesla" remains an electric car with the largest margin of a run without recharging, accelerates to 100 km / h per minute, 2.8 seconds !!! (This means the top version of Modes S P85D with the Ludicrous mode), and also has the title of the safest vehicle on the roads.

Reality surpassed all expectations. For the first time in 10 years of existence, Tesla Motors received a profit, extinguished all debts and increased the volume of production Model S. By this time, about 50,000 of these electrocars ride around the world.

Mass-overall characteristics of Tesla Model S 2013 / Tesla Model S 2016

• Mass: 2108 kg
• Length: 4976 mm
• Width (taking into account side mirrors): 1963 mm
• Height: 1435 mm
• Wheel base: 2959 mm
• Clearance: 154.9 mm
• Trunk volume: 900 liters

TESLA MODEL S Battery and its characteristics

This electric car has a modern lithium-ion battery having a container 85 kW⋅ c.or 60 kW⋅ c.(depends on the configuration) . This accumulator is enough to overcome the distance equal 426 km and 335 km respectively!!! Such an indicator easily competes with other gasoline cars S. The battery consists of 16 blocks and is located along the bottom of the car, which additionally increases the torsion rigidity and blaspiness. Thus, this accumulator location allows you to reduce the center of gravity of the car up to 45 cm.

• Battery type: lithium-ion
• Battery volume: 85/60 kWh *
• Power reserve full charge: 426/335 km *
• Resource: 7 years or 160 thousand km
• Battery dimensions: Length - 2.1 m, Width - 1.2 m, Height - 15 cm
• Battery weight: ~ 450 kg
• Household Time Charging alternating current 110V: in 1 hour 8 km of way
• Charging time from the household network of AC 220V: in 1 hour 50 km of way
• Time of complete charging at the station Tesla Supercharger: 30 minutes and free

Engine and Transmission Tesla Model S

The electric vehicle is installed asynchronous three-phase AC electric motor. The engine is own development Tesla Motors and has no analogues. The electric motor is installed on the rear axle of the car. TESLA MODEL S engine power maximum configuration - 416 liters. p., Maximum (permanent) torque - 600 nm. The electric motor is cooled using a liquid cooling system.

In addition, the modern electric car has a reliable transmission from Mercedes-Benz, which leads a car in motion using a single-stage gearbox (one speed). The gear ratio of the gearbox 9.73.

• Maximum speed: 209/201/193 km / h *
• Power: 416/362/302 liters. with.
• Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h: 4.4 / 5.4 / 5.9 sec *

Tesla Model S is simply impregnated with modern technologies, no exception and chassis Auto. Pneumatic suspension is able to change the clearance of the car, it is enough to set the desired clearance and the car will rise or fall at the request of the owner. At the expense of the lowered center of gravity, the car confidently feels even with a decent clearance "Alya Tiguan".

Steering Rush and itself has an electric powerlier. The on-board computer allows you to set the rigidity of the steering wheel. There are several levels, ranging from the sports hard and ending with a comfortable "Mercedes" mild, very convenient, agree?

TESLA MODEL S Brake System worthy of separate attention. The main brake system consists of ventilated brake discs and electronic parking brake system. But the main "chip" of this electric car - the recovery braking system. With its help, the car is capable of braking the engine and convert the resulting energy into electricity, thereby charging the car battery. This is an extremely useful and convenient feature. To activate the recuperative braking system, the driver must simply smoothly release the gas pedal and the electrocar will begin to slow down the transformative braking energy into useful energy.

How the electric car Tesla is arranged

Under the hood is not all that we used to see in the car with the engine internal combustion. Here instead the trunk.

Behind the same thing. The trunk is quite voluminous, if you wish, you can install children's chairs facing the glass.

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the charge of a lithium-ion battery capacity of 85 kWh grabs 426 km, which allows Model S to overcome the largest distance from the electric vehicle available on the market. Initially, Tesla plans were started in 2013 production of vehicles with a capacity of 60 kWh (335 km) and 40 kWh (260 km), however, due to small demand from the model by 40 kWh, it was decided to refuse. Basic model S uses liquid cooling AC motor that produces 362 horsepower.

At the base of the car battery (their 16 blocks) is about 7 thousand finger batteries laid with a special distribution of positive and negative contacts, which is stored in the Security.

Look inside the car. Instead of the usual devices on the panel, here is the LCD monitor, on which all the necessary function buttons and information about the working condition of the car.

How to charge Tesla

A simple answer is easy and simple.

Simple mathematics and basic electrical engineering course, 8th high school class.

Remember that the power is expressed in kilowatts and is equal to the strength of the current in amperes, multiplied by voltage in volts.

And the tank battery capacity is either 60 kWh, or 85 kWh, depending on the modification.

And even remember that the regular charger operates in the range of 100-240V 50-60Hz. There are no problems with Russian power grids.

The main three phases are not to submit 🙂 but the abstract name without a fighter-electrician will not cope with this task, and the inept electrician fighters in nature are extremely rare, natural selection is all things.

Machines are manufactured at the Frymonte plant in the USA. As expected from Ilona Mask, Tesla plant is one of the most advanced automotive factories in the world. It is equipped with more than one hundred robots.

To build a new plant from Zero, Ilon Mask decided to buy an old abandoned car plant Nummi, which is located in Fremont, in the east of San Francisco. From 1984 to 2010 this plant was used toyota companies And General Motors for the production of its some car models. Plant was purchased company Tesla For 42 million dollars. The plant was first built in 1962. The total area of \u200b\u200bthe plant and adjacent territories is 153 hectares. TESLA production line is equipped with more than 150 robots. Nevertheless, robots do not all here. There are several thousand people at the factory. Many parts of the car, such as interior decoration, can be installed only manually.

Autopilot Tesla

New Tesla firmware recently released, the highlight of which became actually full autopilot, now accessible to all owners model S and MODEL X. Then we captured the first in Russia in Russia to include this function on the roads of the megapolis. Of course, we could not not tell about her in all details - and did not find anything better than checking the autopilot in real "combat" conditions of living Moscow traffic.

Autopilot combines the image with four electromobile chambers. At the same time, three of them demonstrate the objects of the surrounding world, which recognizes the autopilot, and the fourth is what the passenger sees in the car's cabin.

Objects that fall into the visibility of autopilot cameras are highlighted different colors. So, road signs The system sees in purple, and pedestrians and cars in green.

Also, thanks to the system, the car itself slows down the movement, approaching the passenger, and parks.

Tesla Tesla Semi Truck on Electric Tract

But even a step into the future, the electric vehicles are walking forward and the freight market is already beginning to conquer.

Tesla introduced his first electric truck, which was called Tesla Sam. The presentation took place on November 16 in the United States (November 17 in Kiev time). The novelty traditionally represented the founder and head of Ilon Mask.

According to representatives of the company, the resource TESLA SEMI will be a million kilometers. And this means that for its life cycle, the truck will be able to drive around the globe 40 times.

But look below the photo of the electric truck of Tesla seven

For the first time that Tesla is developing a truck, it became known in the summer of 2016. Then the automaker published a "completely secret plan", in which the development of such a model was announced.

In the same document, it was also indicated that the "Tesla" will also make a bus, pickup and a compact crossover.

In the spring of this year, Mask said that the truck debut was scheduled for September. Why plans were revised, not specified.

Tesla plans to start selling electric trucks Tesla SEMI firms for the delivery of goods in 2019. Now the company is engaged in testing and improving electric trucks. As part of testing, the company will continue to use electric trucks for the delivery of own goods.

Currently batteries for Tesla Model 3. Collected from elements of the size of 2170, which came to shift previous generation 18650 elements that were used in tesla electric vehicles (Model S / X).

It should be noted that the volume of the cylinder is growing exponentially with increasing radius, therefore, even with a small increase in diameter (21 mm versus 18 mm) and length (70 mm versus 65 mm), its capacity becomes more almost a third.

Then we see, as after the complete battery discharge, the demonstrator gently reveals it, cutting off the upper part. Under it is an insulator of blue plastic, which prevents closing the case of the internal content of the battery collected as a roll. There is a similar insulator from the opposite end of the element. After the aluminum body is cut, it can be seen that it has a thin layer of additional isolation from the inside. At the top of the battery there are three small holes for gas output when heating the element.

The extracted "roll" is a tightly rolled segment of a thin copper plate (foil), a length of about 80 cm is a cathode (minus), and the quality of the anode (plus) acts as the same length aluminum foil, the dielectric plastic film is separated. Both metal are coated with a graphite layer, which is saturated with lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminum oxide electrolyte (Linicoalo2), which actually stored an electrical charge.

Thus, in comparison with the length of the anode and the cell of the cell 18650 (61 cm) used in Tesla Model S, the cells 21700 were obtained by 30% more container

American automotive firm Tesla was created in 2003 in the Silicon Valley of Martin Eberhard, who worked on the improvement of batteries. Investors of the company became Elon Mask from Paypal and Larry Page with Sergey Brin from Google.

From the very beginning, Tesla raised the task of developing an electric vehicle not for a narrow consumer group, but for all car lovers. The appearance of the conceptual electric vehicle created designers from Lotus, so the similarity of its exterior with Lotus ELise is completely explained. Further cooperation TESLA and Lotus firm led to a natural solution to the assembly of electric vehicles at Lotus Cars.

Employees on high-tech equipment Martin Eberharda grabbed in Silicon Valley, and car engineers had to be lured from Lotus.

Lotus Guide threatened to close the production of electric vehicles at its factory, and Eberhard had to look for automotive engineers in other places. By 2007, several roadsters with an electric motor had already been collected, and they were shown by the Star California public.

On loumbers it was possible to just sign up for the purchase of Tesla Roadster, and it was not allowed to drive several hundred meters. Even the well-known actor and governor of California at that time Arnold Schwarzenegger was not allowed into the hands of an electric vehicle.

The estimated initial price for the roadster was 100 thousand dollars. The dynamic characteristics of the TESLA model did not give way to indicators modern carusing high octane gasoline. Electromotive engine capacity of 250 hp Displays a roadster for a speed of 100 km / h in 4 seconds without a radleh motor. Without recharge, Roger Tesla drives about 400 km. The body of an electric vehicle is made of carbon fiber.

In our time, TESLA is the leader in the electric car market in the world. In the fact that the future belongs to electrocarbers due to finite hydrocarbon resources on the planet TESLA management more than confident. Tesla Model S company produces its first mass car in 2012 - at the beginning of 2013, almost 5 thousand such cars were sold in the United States. Second serial model Tesla became the crossover Model X, rear doors which opens by the type "Seagull wing". In 2016, the American company begins the production of the most affordable and compact novelty - Model 3, which is designed to increase the demand for electric cars against the background of more expensive Model S and Model X. In 2017, the founder of the company Ilon Mask presented a further development strategy of the company, according to which in the future It is planned to produce commercial vehicles.

Test electric car in Ukraine and Russia today has become possible, especially if you have a sufficient amount of money signs 🙂

How to put an electric car on accounting in Ukraine

According to Art. 31 of the Law of Ukraine "On Road Motion", vehiclesimported into the territory of Ukraine to be verified for compliance current standards Or must have a certificate issued by the UNECE Secretariat - the administrative authority for the certification of road vehicles. This certificate of conformity is checked as customs authorities and the traffic police during the registration of the car. Transportation rules for the territory of Ukraine are determined by the Cabinet of Ministers.

The rules for state registration of vehicles approved by Decree of the Cabinet of Cabinet of September 7, 1998, one of the documents confirming the authority of the acquisition of the vehicle and being the basis for its registration in the GAI bodies determines the Customs Authority of the Vehicle Registration (cargo Customs Declaration - for legal entities).

Therefore, it will be possible to talk about registering in the traffic police only after the required customs clearance of the vehicle in such cases. In other words, if "Customs will give good" to the import of an electric vehicle into the territory of Ukraine and will reinforce this with the relevant documents, there will be no problems with its registration in MREO traffic police.

Staging an electric car registration in Russia

amendments to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation "On state registration of automobiles and other species self-propelled machinery On the territory of the Russian Federation, "according to which cars with electric motors now need to be recorded in the traffic police and issue a policy of OSAGO.

This is reported by Russian Gazeta. In accordance with the new decree, state registration is necessary for all electric vehicles, the power of the engine of which exceeds 5.5 hp, and maximum speed exceeds 50 km / h.

In addition, new amendments severely determined the procedure for issuing registration marks. Now the numbers should be issued only in order of priority without reservation for legal or individuals Separate series or symbol combinations. This means that now everyone wants to get a "fashionable" number with a special combination of numbers or letters will have to wait until this series appears in the traffic police.

Stylish Tesla Electric Mobile Model S - This is an amazing combination newest technologies, ideal appearance, dynamic in a large price tag ... 5-door hatchback, which works only on electric traction, is available in various versions. The main difference is the battery power. Buy Tesla Model S in Russia is at a price of 111,500 to 152,400 dollars. This is the cost of Tesla Model S in the basic configuration. In the native American market, the electric car costs from 74.6 to 105.7 thousand dollars. It is noteworthy that each tesla electric car buyer also receives a subsidy in the amount of $ 7,500. So, let's start our review Tesla Model S.

Exterior of the electric car

Our today's "hero" is a truly exclusive car. As usual, the review wants to start with the design of the exterior and body size.

Overall sizes of Tesla model S:

• length - 4978 mm;
• width - 2189 mm;
• height - 1435 mm;
• the magnitude of the wheelbase is 2959 mm.

According to official data, the electrical hatchback clearance is 145 millimeters. True, the surcharge is offered and air suspensionwhose installation allows you to adjust ground clearance in the range from 119 to 192 millimeters.

Characteristics of Tesla Model S suggest the use of 19-inch aluminum wheels with rubber Goodyear. Eagle, the dimension of which is 245 / 45R19. Also, developers offer for a car aerodynamic wheels of the 19th diameter and magnificent 21-inch "rollers" with low-profile tires Continental Extreme Contact dimension 245 / 35R21.

It's time to pay attention to the photo and video of Tesla model S. They demonstrate the premiumness of this car, as well as his sporty character. The design of the design of the exterior of the electric car was carried out by Tesla Motors specialists. The works were led by Franz von Holzhausen, who before that he worked in the design department of the manufacturer Mazda.

The main features of the appearance of Tesla Model S have become smooth outlines and non-standard solutions. Also, the body received pronounced firewalls, and its smooth surfaces are perfectly harmonized with wave-like elements.

The front of the electric car Teslo received narrow optics, a pseudo-phoned oval shape grid, a stylish bumper with a small air intake and beautiful fog lights. A pronounced embossed ribs are located on the hood, which are ideally combined with wings of cars and unique outer mirrors.

Body profile also looks amazing. Easy front and a massive back of the eye rush. Of the features, I want to highlight the extensions of the door handles, the right radii of the arches of the wheels and the interesting shape of the doors.

The rear of the electrocarbar is also carefully thought out. Massive wings, compact overall lights with LED filling and large bumper. We also note the use of bright body shades, which makes the Tesla Model S car even more notable. In the database for hatchback, black and white colors are available. For blue, brown, silver, green and gray will have to put 750 dollars. But the most attractive shades (bright red and pearl-white) were estimated at 1.5 thousand dollars.

Of the additional options for the modernization of the exterior it is also worth mentioning the rear spoiler from carbon, LED fog lights and panoramic top made of glass.

Interior features

Salon Tesla model S 2015-2016 model year is designed for 5 people. True, additional seats are also available for children who are mounted in the back cargo compartment. By the way, Tesla Model S electric car has two trunk. The volume of the front compartment is 150 liters, and at the back of the owner is available almost 750 liters. It is noteworthy that the folding of the hind seats will lead to an increase in the volume of the trunk trunk model S to stunning 1800 liters.

So, what are we inside? The first thing that everyone who sees photos of the Tesla Model S salon is a huge touchscreen display located on the center console. Its diagonal is 17 inches. The screen is responsible for managing various systems Electrocar. For example, it allows you to adjust the operation of multimedia functions, climate installation and telephone. Also, the screen is displayed with navigation system and rearview cameras. It is with his help that the driver can open the hatch, perform the setting of the seat position, use the heating function, connect to the World Wide Web, learn about the flow of electrical energy, optimize the parameters of the suspension and steering ...

The dashboard also looks very futuristic. The multifunction panel displays a large amount of data and partially duplicates the image from the main display. Although I am quite difficult to surprise the modern motorist, the digital panel of the instruments is quite difficult, the installation of a large tablet to the electric car has become a truly successful solution. Although the screen sizes are really affecting, it is very comfortable to use it. True, do not forget that the charge rechargeable battery limited, so it will not work infinitely a gadget.

The backs of the driver's seats and the front passenger have anatomical profile and high-quality side support. We also note the use of well-selected sizes of pillows, which can conveniently stay in Tesla MODEL S will be able to each. The distance from the ceiling to the seat pillows is 985 millimeters, and the width of the salon reaches 1465 mm (at the level of the shoulders of passengers).

Behind the place, of course, not so much. True, the legs will be quite free - almost 900 millimeters. There is a shortage of space above the head - only 896 mm, which is caused by the characteristic form of the roof.

Basic tesla equipment model S received:

• front seats heated and electrical settings and memorization of selected parameters;
• the door of the trunk with electrical drive;
• system of access to the salon without a key;
• cruise control;
• climate control with division into two zones;
• electrical windows;
• automatically folding rear view mirrors with electric and heated;
• touch 17-inch display;
• backlit light of the interior on LEDs;
• 8 airbags;
• audio system with 7 columns;
• electronic resistance control (ESC);
• traction control system (TCS);
• leather interior decoration;
• decorative elements made of natural wood.

Specifications

Another important part of the review is the technical characteristics of the Tesla model S. Designers used a large number of aluminum parts and high-strength steel in the bodies. Many suspension elements are also made of aluminum. In front of the electric car Tesla Model S, an independent suspension is installed on double transverse levers, and at the back of the engineers decided to use a multi-grazing suspension.

MODEL S Tesla Electrocar Equipped electric amplifier steering disk brakes In a circle (front - 355 mm discs, and behind - 365 mm). Also, the car received an electronic handler, and a pneumatic suspension is present in the list of additional options.

Tesla Model S is an electric car with rear wheel drive (The most powerful option was obtained on all wheels), which is equipped with a lithium-ion battery, an electric motor and a single-stage gearbox as a transmission. The modification of the MODEL S electric vehicle is distinguished by the battery capacity.

The following versions of the model are now available:

1. Tesla Model S 60. The 380-strong engine accelerates the car until 192 km / h. Acceleration from place to hundreds - 5.9 seconds, maximum reserve Stroke - 330 kilometers. Battery capacity - 60 kWh.
2. Tesla Model S 85. The same power unit is used (380 hp). Maximum speed - 224 km / h, acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h - 5.4 seconds. The stroke reserve is 425 km. Battery capacity - 85 kWh.
3. Tesla Model s P85D. Total power of two engines - 691 hp Acceleration up to 100 km / h - 3.2 seconds, "maximum speed" is equal to 248 km / h. The stroke reserve is 400 kilometers. Used battery for 85 kWh.

Buy Tesla Model S in Russia is not so difficult. Many potential buyers are interested in how to charge the electric car in the Russian conditions. Note that we will have to find a powerful line by 32 amps with grounding. In order to charge the batteries will have to wait a few hours. It is noteworthy that Tesla Motors provides 8 years warranty on batteries. Interestingly, Tesla model is successfully used even in countries with rather harsh climatic conditions, for example, in Norway. Therefore, you should not worry.

Tesla Model S electric fuel consumption is about 20-22 kWh per hundred mileage kilometers. And this is about 70 rubles for the current standards. If you charge the car at night, you can save even more. Not bad, right?

Tesla Motors does not cease to surprise her fans and attracts more and more attention from investors. The company is not afraid to break the established templates and create completely new vehicles that immediately become legends among supercars. American brand has already managed to prove that electric vehicle is a full-fledged competitor ordinary carswhich in many ways even wins against them. For example, one of the company's developments - Tesla Model S.which produced a real revolution.

Sales Tesla Model S began in 2012 and as of December 2016 their volume exceeded 158'000 cars, making the model the second after Nissan Leaf. The most sold electric car in the world. In August 2016, the model received the title of the most dynamic serial produced machine, which is 2.7 seconds from space up to 100 km / h. Only Porsche 918 Spyder and Laferrari can win it, which, however, are no longer produced.

Tesla Model S.

Speaking about this electric vehicle Review should be started with the technical characteristics of Tesla Model S. Like all Tesla Motors models, it is a full-featured electric car, that is, it is driven by electric energy and no other, except electrical, no motors.

At the same time, you have three engine options:

• One electric motor from behind;
• Two electric motors - in front and rear;
• Electromotor front and motor high performance rear.

The third option and turns the Tesla model S in sport supercarwhich can easily leave behind Porsche and even BMW M5! In addition, with two Tesla motors, the model with receives an electronic system full drivewhich manages the torque of the front and rear wheels Not depending on each other and tenaciously holds the road.

The next important technical characteristics of the electric transport is the battery, the capacity of which affects the reserve of the stroke. Tesla offers a wide range of ultra-modern lithium-ion batteries, with a capacity from 65 to 100 kW * h. With full charge, the car can drive from 236 to 865 km, which allows it to compete with a car on gasoline and diesel fuel.

In addition to the capacity of the battery, the speed of movement is also affected by the speed, the size of the wheels, the operation of the air conditioner, the ambient temperature and other points.

For example, at a temperature of + 20 ° C, the speed of 100 km / h, the air conditioner turned off and the 19 "cast wheels installed, the Tesla Model S electric vehicle with the P100D battery erupt 572 km. And at a speed of 70 km / h and air temperature + 30c - 834 km.

Such a battery resource is the fruit of many years of work of the company's best specialists who managed to create a capacious and quickly rechargeable battery. For 1 hour of its charging from the household network 220V - 50 km of mileage will be replenished. The use of a special charger allows you to increase the charge rate to 110 km / h. In Europe and America, it is also possible to charge a car on company charging company completely free.

Pay attention also to Tesla Model S such characteristics as:

• Spacious trunk at the back and front, total 894 liters!
• 17 "screen side System With touch and voice control, including navigator, Internet, telephone, review cameras
• 12 options for adjusting the front seats heated and the memory memory
• 6 airbags

At this, the amazing technical characteristics of Tesla Model S do not end. Be sure to look at the work of the autonomous control of this electric vehicle - this is fantasy, which has become a reality.

Electromobile Tesla Model s- This is a modern alternative to cars with gasoline engines, which will preserve the environment without deteriorating the quality of life. According to the company's calculations, the operation of the current park of TESLA cars has already made it possible to reduce CO2 emissions by 500 million tons.

Finally, most importantly - the delivery of cars in the most powerful version of Tesla Model S P100D has already begun in Europe and America. The cost of the machine with an extended autopilot - from 146'000 USD.

Tesla Model S became a car desired for most motorists. After all, there are so many advantages in it - it does not need a worthwhile gasoline, does not clog environmentIn addition, it is the most reliable worldwide. Consider the car in more detail.

Tesla Model s is performed by the American company Tesla Motors. This is a 5-door car, the body of which was called "Fastbak", and the first prototype could be seen at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2009. In the United States, deliveries of this car began 2 years ago. As for the price, it varies from 62 to 88 thousand dollars. The most expensive version of the car is capable of overcome without recharging as much as 425 km, and it will turn away in just 4.2 seconds. The results of the first quarter of 2013 are impressive - 4750 units of Tesla Model S are sold in the United States. This fact suggests that the car overtakes its Class Competitions Sedan Luxury - Mersedes-Benz S-Class, as well as the BMW 7 series. In Europe, a certain breakthrough of this car was recorded - in Norway for 2 weeks of September of the same year, 322 cars were sold, thereby overtaking Volkswagen Golf. (they were sold only 256) If you look under the hood Tesla, then there is nothing. Instead of the engine there is a trunk, behind another roomy trunk. If necessary, in it you can install children's chairs, which will be located face to glass. As US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says, one complete charge of a lithium-ion battery having a capacity of 85 kW / h is enough to overcome 426 km. This indicator made this model leading among such cars of other manufacturers. The company planned to produce two varieties of the car. They differed only with a battery capacity - 60 kW / h and 40 kV / h. Their autonomy was 335 km and 260 km, but, since the popularity of the model with a 40 kW / h battery was not very big, the manufacturer decided to abandon this model. Tesla Model S is basic. It contains liquid cooling, and an AC electric motor is capable of producing 362 horsepower. The car battery is made of 7 thousand finger batteries, which are placed in a special way. The distribution of positive and negative ions occurs. June 2013 is marked for this car by the fact that the possibility of replacing the rechargeable battery automatically demonstrate. During the demonstration, it was shown that the replacement of the battery takes only 90 seconds. This is an order of magnitude faster filling the full tank with ordinary fuel. President Elon Mask, said that, the so-called slow charging lasts from 20 minutes before half an hour and will be free on special filling stations. At the same time, the replacement of the battery will cost an electric car owner of about $ 80.

Look inside the car

It can be noted that there is no familiar dashboard. Instead, a display is installed, with which the owner can control the auto functionality, as well as monitor the working state of the car. At that moment, when the car is charging, the speedometer has information about how much the car is charged, as well as how much kilometers this charge is enough. At the place where the tachometer is usually installed, the company's engineers posted an ammeter.

Behind the car looks pretty simple. The windows on the doors do not have a framework, and the company's symbol is located on the turn signal, which very concisely fits into the car design. As for the charging of the car, you only need an ordinary socket. The regular charger is running from a network of 100-240 W, so you can make a charge from any socket that will be nearby.

The car can be charged in two ways. The first is a regular power supply. It works from the most ordinary outlet of 220 V. From her battery with a volume of 85 kW / h will be charged 36 hours. If your car has a battery of 40 kW / h, then the charging time is doubled. The socket must have a working ground, otherwise nothing will be charged. The only difficulty is fork. It has American standards, so do not do without an adapter. It is necessary to acquire a high-quality model, because the load will be about 12a.

To charge the car in just 14 hours, you must use the second charger connector. It has a standard NEMA 14-50. Here you can not do without a professional electrician, because you need to give 50 amps to 1 phase, which is not for everyone. This requires high quality wiring. No matter what method you select, because the process of connecting the charger is the same. You just need to open the trunk, get the charger, connect it to the power grid, wait until green lights start, and then connect the charging to the car. There is another charging method, but it is even more complicated, because on 1 phase it is necessary to give 80a. For charging, in this case, a stationary charger is used, which is hanging on the wall.

In Russia, there are no special stations that produce replacement batteries, and there is a very difficult to issue 80a, so it's best to use a rosette. If you use the car, for example, like racing, then the battery consumption will be 1.5 times more, which means that the battery reserve is enough for about 300 km. If you go to a day about 200 km, then you can charge a car daily, while charging time to decrease half, or by 2/3, and this is much more convenient than charging the fully-stopping car for 36 hours.

TESLA MODEL S

Tesla started delivery with 1000 sedans of limited output Signature and Signature Performance, equipped with 85 kW batteries with a capacity of 85 kW and cost 95,400 and 105,400 dollars, respectively. The price of the car Tesla starts from $ 62.4 thousand and reach $ 87.4 thousand (in Russia it is possible to buy Tesla Model S from 4.5mallions rubles). The most expensive option is a car with a stroke of almost 425 kilometers, able to develop a hundred in 4.4 seconds. In 2014, Tesla Model S P85D was released, which develops 100 km / h in 3.2 seconds

Battery

60 kW battery? H, installed on the model S, provides a distance of 370 km, while the battery is 85 kW? H - 510 km, with the expected constant speed of 55 miles 89 km / h.

There are batteries and energy-saving mode that turns off the display and other onboard electronics, after which the machine goes into sleep mode. This feature allows you to reduce the loss in the car's mileage radius when it is not used (currently it is 13 km per day). Also, to restore the energy of the Tesla uses recuperative braking, the essence of which is that when braking, part of the motion energy is returned back to the battery in the form of electricity. 85 kW battery contains 7104 lithium-ionic batteries in 16 modules interconnected. Each module contains six groups of 74 elements connected in parallel; Six groups, in turn, are connected in series in the module. The battery use galvanic elements from Panasonic with nickel cobalt-aluminum cathodes. The location of the battery under the cabin floor reduces the center of gravity of the car. The battery has a guarantee for eight years or 201,000 km for a base model by 60 kWh. For a battery for 85 kW? Hon-free missile defense. A separate warranty for replacing the battery comes into force after the eighth year worth $ 10,000 for a 60 kW battery? H and $ 12,000 for a battery of 85 kW.

All other MODEL S, it turns out, is also very smart. From the end of September 2014, all new models S are equipped with a mini-chamber installed in the top of the windshield, a promising radar in the lower grille and ultrasonic sensors on the front and rear bumperswhich provide a 360-degree buffer zone around the car. This equipment allows Model S to detect road signs, markup, obstacles and other vehicles. In addition to the adaptive cruise control and warning system for traveling beyond the flight band for $ 4250, you can get a package package, which will allow this "stuffing" to carry out semi-autonomous driving and parking. New models coming on sale, starting from October 9, 2014, are designed for the autopilot function. The latter makes it possible automatic driving In various situations. Compatible cars will receive software via wireless update, without having to visit the dealer. The car also stuffed with sensors defining the condition of the units and structural elements. In the event of an accident, the system shuts off the battery power. Let's talk now a little about the stuffing of the salon of this model. In 2015, it is planned to run a Tesla Model X crossover series, built on the Tesla Model S. Fastback.

"Tesla Model S" is a 5-door electric car, which is produced by the American company Tesla Motors. For the first time, this car was given to the public as a prototype, in 2009, in Frankfurt. And full-fledged delivery started in 2012, in June.

"Heart" of the car

"Tesla Model S" is currently the most powerful electric car from existing ones. No competitors are able to compete with this machine in their technical specifications. The heart of the car is a lithium-ion battery. Its container is 85 kWh. This is enough for 426 mileage mileage without recharging. No electric vehicle today is capable of issuing such power.

In general, first in plans for developers and manufacturers was to start producing models whose batteries would have a capacity of 60 kWh. It would be enough for a much smaller number of kilometers (namely 335 km). There was also an idea to produce a battery for 40 kWh. That would be enough for 260 kilometers at all. But as a result, everyone refused it. The base car "Tesla model S" uses the so-called liquid cooling of the AC motor, the power of which is 362 liters. with.

Start of production

The company began with small - it was decided to release only one thousand sedans first. It was a limited release, but with 85 kWh batteries. Two versions were available - Signature and Signature Performance. The cost of these cars was 95,400 dollars and 105,400, respectively. In Russia, "Tesla Model S" was sold at a price of 4.5 million rubles (according to the old course). To date, the most expensive option is the version that achieves "hundreds" in 4.4 seconds. In the year before last, 2014, a car was released as a "Tesla model s P85D". She reached a figure of 100 km / h little more than three seconds.

Modernization and change

In 2013, the concern demonstrated the public the opportunity to recharge the car in an interesting way. It consisted in the automatic replacement of the battery. In the process of demonstration, it was shown that this procedure as a whole occupies approximately one and a half minutes. And this, I must say, twice as fast as to refuel the full bank of the machine, under the hood of which is installed gas engine. As the president of the company says ("Ilon Max"), slow recharging (grade twenty minutes to raise the level of energy available up to 50%) will remain free. But only at the filling points of the company. The fast replacement will cost approximately 60-80 dollars. This amount is approximately and equal to the price that many motorists are given for the full fuel bank.

Statistics state that in the first quarter of 2013 in the United States of America sold about 4,750 copies of this model. So, this car He became the most purchased and famous luxury sedan. Even more popular than the "BMW" of the seventh series, which is impressive.

In Europe, Tesla Model S is also very in demand. In Norway, 322 units were sold in the first 14 days (which was ahead of "Volkswagen Golf"). And just by the end of the first quarter, 2014, in the whole world sold about 32 thousand such cars.

Appearance

About the exterior you just need to tell separately. Tesla Model S Reviews gets exceptionally positive - and not only because of its practicality, but also because of appearance. All machine owners assure - this is a really exclusive car. In length, it is almost five meters (4978 mm, to be more accurate), in width - 2189 mm. The height is 1435 mm, and the wheelbase is an impressive 2959 mm. Clearance also pleases - 145 mm.

In the image of this car, a sporty character is clearly traced. The main highlight of this car lies in smooth lines, soft and elegant outlines, as well as in very non-standard solutions. Special refinement of the image gives narrow optics and a falseradiator grille of oval shape. The bumper with a compact air intake and elegant fogs looks interesting. The hood is decorated with beautiful embossed ribs. Also a special appearance charm give the extensive door handles and an unusual form of doors.

The back also looks original. Compact dimensions of overall lights and powerful wings with a large bumper are immediately thrown into the eyes. And in quality additional option potential buyers A rear spoiler may be proposed, made of carbon, panoramic top (by the way from glass) and LED fog.

Interior

"Tesla" - a car (model S), which is designed for five people. True, in the version last year A seats for children are still available (they are mounted in the rear compartment for goods). By the way, the car boasts two trunk. In front - a compartment for 150 liters, and behind - at 750 liters. And if you fold the rear armchairs, it will turn out 1800 liters.

But now about the interior who can be proud of Tesla. The car (model S) is distinguished by a bright feature - and it is just incredible dimensions of a 17-inch (!) Color touchscreen display. His specialists managed to place on the central console. Through this multimedia system, you can manage different systems Machines: adjust the work of the climate setup, respond to calls, set up music, etc. And the image C GPS and the rear view camera is displayed on the screen.

The dashboard is another highlight, which is capable of surprising this car. "Tesla model S" has an ordinary digital panel to which everything is already accustomed, and a large tablet. His specialists were very successfully mounted in the electric car.

Comfort

We must admit that there is very spacious in the cabin. The backs of the chairs are distinguished by anatomical profile and high-quality side support. Even the developers have successfully picked up the sizes of pillows, due to which every passenger will feel comfortable inside the machine.

"Tesla Model S", the technical indicators of which will be considered in more detail a little later, has very rich basic complete set. First, it is a seat with electric mesh, heated and with memory (specified parameters are saved). Secondly - electric drive luggage door. Thirdly - access system inside without key. Also cruise control and power windows, climatic double-zone climatic control, rearview mirrors, which are automatically adding and have heated with an electric drive - all this is inside, in addition to the above. Even in the car there is a powerful audio system with seven columns, eight airbags, ABS, ESC and TCS system. And of course, finish. As materials used only high-quality leather and genuine wood.

Specifications

A 416-strong engine was installed on the index version of the vehicle, and the base model was completed with an aggregate of 362 liters. with. (270 kW). About charge, acceleration and consumption has already been said, and now - about what other indicators will boast the "Tesla model S". Specifications are impressive - after all, after two years after entering the light of the basic version, all-wheel drive appeared. But the most impressive is not this, but the availability of the function of the autopilot. This car is also smart! From the end of the last year, 2014, all the cars began to be equipped with a mini-chamber and ultrasound sensors in the bumpers. Thanks to this innovation, the machine itself recognizes marking, road signs, obstacles and other participants road. And of course, the autopilot function, which is embedded in all models, issued after October 9, 2014.

Controllability

This topic should also be touched upon, telling about such a car as the "Tesla model S". Its characteristics in this plan are impressive. First, I would like to note that the maximum speed is 200 km / h. Machine to manage easily even on such a considerable speed. The smoothness of the move is provided - this is good for the car "Tesla model S". Review, or rather, numerous ferris and test drives made it clear that all flaws relating to the running part were corrected. Previous machine "Tesla" rushed on the road, as if skateboard was very sensitive to uneven roads. But now everything is different. Even with bad roads, the car copes, and the steering turns normally on sharp turns.

Many assure that this model is the future electric car. Of course, people who are accustomed to often ride for long distances, this machine will not fit. For such motorists in stock 400 with more than kilometers may be not enough. But for people who move around the city, from work to the house, shopping or in the suburb, this car will be easy the ideal option, In addition, economical. Especially for the Americans, since, as already mentioned earlier, refueling on the tesla bus stops. No wonder this model has become so popular there.

"Tesla Model S" in Russia - Is it possible to buy?

Everything is possible in this life. And acquire the "S-model" in the Russian Federation too. Why not? Because Officially, these cars are not sold in our country? Yes it is. Not sold officially. But only in Moscow at the end of August 2014, about 80 cars of the "Tesla" of this version were registered. So the models are still shipped to Russia. In the same year, approximately 180 copies were brought in the Russian Federation. But these cars are solid. Starting from 111,500 dollars and ending 152,400. The considerable cost for the electric vehicle, given that they cost 75-105 thousand dollars in their homeland. However, as it was already possible to understand, this machine has a lot of advantages. It is not surprising that the Russians manage to become the happy owners happy.
