TESLA Evolution in 5 Mins. Tesla History. Electric cars have become very popular in recent years. This happened in particular thanks to the Tesla Motors company, which manufactures electric cars and home batteries (like “Powerwall”). TESLA Autonomy Day Event. tesla car. Evolution of Tesla in 5 mins.

The company is based in the US and its main investor, chairman and CEO is Elon Musk. Other investors include Larry Page and Sergey Brin (founders of Google), Jeffrey Skoll (founder and president of eBay and Daimler AG companies). The company is named after the inventor in the field of electrical and radio engineering, a physicist and an engineer — Nikola #Tesla.

Tesla Motors was incorporated in July 2013 by two entrepreneurs: Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. #ElonMusk became the chairman of the board in 2004 after investing $ 7.5 and in 2008 he became the CEO and invested another $ 70 million in the company.

Tesla Roadster
Tesla gained attention for the first time after the official presentation of the first all-electric sports car Tesla Roadster in July 2006. The car can travel 393 kilometres on a single charge while it takes three and a half hours to fully charge the battery. It accelerates to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds. The maximum speed is 201.1 km/h. tesla model x.

Tesla Roadster uses an AC motor (alternating current motor) revealed directly from Tesla’s original design in 1882.

The cost of the basic model was $ 109,000. The company stopped the production of Roadster in January 2012. During the period from 2008 to 2012 Tesla Motors has sold more than 2400 Roadster cars in 31 countries. The release of a new generation of Roadster was announced in 2015. It is planned to be released in 2019. tesla model 3.

Model S
Tesla’s Model S prototype was shown at a press conference on 26 March 2009. The sedan production started in 2012 and deliveries to customers in June 2012. On a single charge of the 60 kWh battery capacity #ModelS can travel 426 km, and with a battery capacity of 85 kWh, the distance will increase to 510 kilometres. In the most expensive configuration, the car is able to accelerate to 100 km/h in 3.1 seconds. Prices on Model S start from $ 75,000.

Recharging the vehicle is possible by automatic battery replacement. This was demonstrated in 2013: the replacement procedure took about ninety seconds which is two times faster than filling a full tank of a similar petrol car!

Also, the slow charging of the car (up to 50 % of battery charge takes about 20 minutes) is free. But a fast charge will cost about $ 70, which is about the cost of a full gas tank.

Autopilot
In October 2015 the “autopilot” feature was added to the updated firmware of Model S. It can be used in cars manufactured after October 2014 as they are equipped with additional sensors (a camera mounted on the top of the windscreen, a forward radar in the lower front grille as well as ultrasonic sonar sensors in the front and rear bumpers) which provide a 360 degree buffer zone around the car.

This feature allows the car to follow the lane on its own or change lanes if road markings are visible. However, the feature does not include the response to the speed limits, traffic lights signals and pedestrians. According to Musk: “the car will learn over a long time”, including learning from other vehicles.

Model X
Tesla Model X is a full-size crossover which was first shown in February 2012. The car is available in two versions: 90D and P90D.

The 90D version uses the battery capacity of 90 kWh and accelerates to 96 km/h in 4.8 seconds and is able to travel 410 kilometres on a single charge. The P90D reaches 96 km/h in 3.8 seconds and with the optional Ludicrous Speed Upgrade package, it takes just 3.2 seconds to get to 96 km/h. The P90D version is faster than Lamborghini Gallardo LP570–4 or McLaren MP4–12C. The maximum speed is limited by “electronics” (as in the Roadster) at around 250 km/h. On a single charge, the car can travel 500 kilometres.


Model 3 was previously called Model E and in the original business plan, it was listed under the code name Tesla BlueStar. The current name was announced on Twitter on 16 July 2014.

The car will be presented in 2016. The first deliveries of the car will begin in 2017 but, according to Musk, the company will be able to satisfy the expected demand only in 2020. The estimated cost in the US will be $ 35,000. The size of the Model 3 will be 20 % less than of Model S and a single charge will last for 320 kilometres.

According to J. B. Straubel, the technical director of Tesla, since October 2015 the majority of Tesla engineers worked on 3 and not on S or X. Musk said that the official photos of the car will be in the end of March 2016 and all features will be revealed just before the production. Gigafactory Elon musk.
