TESLA - Everything You Need to Know | Up to Speed

Electric cars used to mean slow, boxy, weird-looking driving without fun monstrosities that fly off the road in a strong wind, but not anymore, these cars pop a 0-60 all-wheel drive torque machine. in 2.5 seconds. a CEO who is so eccentric and enigmatic that he could easily be a Bond villain, but he's not because he's given us the future of cars, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, here's

. day with Tesla, this could This was a surprise to many of you, but elon musk did not found

tesla

, no, it was magic, the friends of the meeting, mark eberhard and mark terpening, who founded

tesla

in the sleepy town of melno park, In Northern California, these guys were also Silicon Valley veterans who combined their experiences and found much success with one of the first e-reader companies that produced the Rocket e-book, the precursor to the Kindle, one of their areas of expertise was the small power plants that powered their little fake books, lithium-ion batteries, the urban heart was also Newly divorced and ready to buy a sports car like every other newly divorced 40-year-old in the world.

He was looking at what was available but began to think about its impact. He must have overlooked the modest and adorable Miata because he got excited. to a little car called ac propulsion t-zero ac propulsion is a small company in san dimas, california, san dimas high school football rules, that last night I had a drink with the heart of herba and headed out to see what it was like his little yellow one from the 90s that looked t0. after one try the guy was hooked, Eberhard quickly became an investor in AC propulsion and sought to turn it into a legitimate automaker, not just a small boutique R&D shop floor.

Oh my gosh, this little yellow pocket rocket screams like the Millennium Falcon, why not? Every major car company had a problem that plagued early electric vehicles: They were all based on a battery technology that's been around for almost 100 years, lead-acid batteries, but Mark and Martin knew a thing or two about something called batteries. lithium ion which is what made eberhard and tarponing start their own company tesla motors named after nicholas tesla the inventor of the lightning, the lightning, the lighting of the lightning, the lightning, the lightning, press the Me button Like, hit the subscribe button to make sure you don't miss any of our lightning content. much of this goes back to history on April 23, 2003 they made it official like all new companies do nowadays they bought the domain name tesla motors and also realized that the automotive industry had become an industry from suppliers that Ford does not manufacture. every little piece that goes on their cars many of the pieces like windshields hoses cables springs wheels all come from other places these guys knew a thing or two about this thanks to their experience in Silicon Valley with this crucial aspect in mind, they were excited to improvise a small, simple sports car that didn't emit co2 or nox, but instead emitted ha-a-a-a-a and e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e Tesla also reached a licensing deal with AC propulsion to use its motor and controller for the powertrain with such a great reputation for electric systems with Lotus ready.

They were able to get financing from several small sources, but they

need

ed a big whale to finish it and we gave them the green light at the end of April 2004, one of their friends from Silicon Valley who really liked cars got very interested and happily contributed a few million of clams and that guy's name was uh steve jobs not a word to yankovic no, his name was elon musk when tesla was founded in 2003, elon had just sold his Silicon Valley superstar into PayPal, with Musk now on board and a lot of money in With cash in the bank, they hired Ian Wright as their gearhead, a Kiwi with a healthy resume building race cars in 2004, Tesla's first test.

The mule, the roadster, was created, it was essentially a Lotus Elise, but with electric motor batteries and various other technical elements running different types of software to bring it all together, it worked and they were excited. Their new functional mule also helped them secure more financing. to move on, a cool 13 million, show me the money in july 2006, the official launch party for the tesla roadster crashed at santa monica airport in beautiful mar vista, california, that's my neighborhood, please don't come to my house, tesla filled the first 100 pre-orders of 100,000 and they were off to the races, environmental nerds and even car nerds rejoiced at the exciting new sports car and everyone was completely excited for its initial scheduled debut for some time later that same year in 2006. but there were some budding heads about the design elements, the ergonomics, the use of space, all these things and the debut was delayed again and again, remember that most of these cars were already paid for, we're not even talking about offering things to the general public, but the ship needed it. to be led, so Elon Musk took over as CEO and became the face of the fledgling company and when the Tesla roadster finally debuted in 2008, the hype continued on a trajectory similar to the roadster's own Turkish curve: just over 2,400 units sold worldwide between 2008 and 2012.

The motor is a 4-pole three-phase induction electric motor with a maximum power of 248 hertz per person. Its maximum power is 200 pound-feet and it comes on immediately and remains at maximum until 6,000 rpm, later in its production the torque was increased. to 295 pound-feet for even crazier acceleration, hitting 60 miles per hour in under 4 seconds and hitting the quarter mile in just over 12.5 seconds. The movie that started all of this called for a 10-second car and this thing. almost 10 a 10 second car is their first car after an expensive roadster it was time for a luxury competitor in 2012 tesla started making the car that would boldly announce to the world that they had arrived enter the tesla model s the model s has a great comfortable interior with nice amenities and it's controlled by a big old touch screen on the front dash, it looks like an ipad, it's beautiful because the motor and batteries are low and out of the way, the interior is super spacious, it's electric so no There are engine vibrations and the power delivery is instant and consistent with the option to add a factory ridiculous mode, this 588 horsepower, 920 pound-feet beast launches to 60 miles per hour in just 2, 3 seconds 2.3 seconds and thanks to the regenerative braking system when you reduce

speed

you can return. part of that electricity that accelerated you in the first place, this thing is a rocketship for the road, while the model s has gone through several power upgrades, powertrain upgrades and facelifts in April 2016.

It's still the same generation, there are usually enough updates. and changes to a car, most OEMs just come out with a new generation, a vehicle, a new car, have you seen the new mustang? It looks a little like the old mustang, but it's newer, yeah, cool, that's what we're used to, but Tesla, Tesla. don't do that, they distinguish their generations by making them a different vehicle. Production jumped from about 15 cars per week in 2010 to nearly 1,000 per week in 2015. Then Tesla decided it was time for its second-generation vehicle. Remember that Tesla's plan is to start from the top down, first a sports car, then a luxury sedan and then the next step is of course, well next would be an entry-level consumer car that most families The wealthy could afford it with a retail price of between thirty thousand and fifty thousand dollars.

You're killing it today buddy, you're killing it, you're absolutely destroying the Tesla Model X SUV that debuted in early 2015. While the Model thick boy tops out at 5,531 lips, that's 1,000 more lives than the rusty 1990 Ford F-250 my friend Cameron had in high school, even with all those cornstalks stuck under the grill. Cameron loved driving through cornfields despite his status as a fat boy, the model x. p100d with moon mode has incredible power it's a crossover that jumps to 60 miles per hour in 2.9 seconds matches the zero to 60 of a damn ferrari 488 that you can win if you click this link here and the design was too elon He's had quite a few amazing cores His first car was a 1978 BMW 320i which he drove until a wheel literally fell off He even wrote daily Are you ready for this? a mclaren f1 there's jonathan, the fastest car in the world that totaled I'm fine, I'm fine, but the car that most directly influenced the actual design of a Tesla is an audi q7 that Musk currently owns and then you

know

we have things like that Let's say the audi q7, which is not bad, so I wanted to make a car with doors that can be opened in tight spaces with access to the third row seats without folding the second row seats forward entering the falcon doors of the Model 2015.

Elon was receiving criticism about poorly managed plants and poor construction quality. Musk brought in analysts and experts with stellar careers from the likes of Ford GM and everyone else to change operations, kept what worked, threw out what didn't and the Model Even though it was not its final form, it was about to transition to the Model 3. Third mass-market car in Tesla's lineup after its announcement, the Model 3 racked up 325,000 reservations in one week. It was conceived as a lighter, smaller and more affordable vehicle and this is evident in its equipment since its time, but in July 2017, the single rear-wheel drive engine.

The sedan has ramped up production to a maximum of 5,000 cars per week, which is a lot of batteries running around. The Tesla Model 3 is the best-selling car of 2018, outselling the Mercedes Audi, even the Toyota Corolla. The Toyota Corolla. Toyota Corolla price starts at approx. 42k with some top tier models reaching around 60. What about its power? Well, three jumps to 60 in 5.6 aren't bad either, and top-level all-wheel drive performance is achieved in 3.3 seconds. It has 450 horsepower and 470 pound-feet. of torque, in fact, the new incredible swap is to find a total tesla and modify your favorite little chassis s3s s2000 and even this 1981 Honda Accord have become incredible beasts that move you to 60 without much to say they are not only electric.

Cars are the future of commuting, but remember big brother's words, it's the future of tuning, so what's next for Tesla? the new roadster that is scheduled to be produced in 2020, tesla is taking all the research, development, safety, etc., etc., and so on, and they are offering a new version of the roadster doubles the vision roadster 2020, plain speaking of 2020, you are guaranteed to lose your 2020 vision when you step on the crazy pedal, those crazy people claim the 2020 roadster will hit 60 miles per hour in 1.9 seconds. and a hundred in 4.2 which is as fast as an F1 car unlike the original the new roadster will not travel on another type's chassis like Nolan does it will be a hypercar completely developed by Tesla it is incredibly beautiful it is like Buffett's brightest horse .

I've ever seen that the car is expected to cost around 200,000 bones, but it could still be a great value compared to other incredibly fast vehicles on the market today. Plus, they launched one into damn space. Elon himself stated that it could potentially come with a feature called the optional spacex package that would add around 10 cold gas boosters to improve maneuverability. These wild sci-fi sounding thrusters could improve downforce if they're aimed at cornering if they're aimed at top speed if they're firing. back and braking if they shoot forward what's smoking in less than two decades tesla went from making cute little lotus things to being a full blown disruptor in the auto industry and now they're about to hit 60 miles per hour in less than Two seconds sounds crazy, but so is
