Tesla Motors History

Tesla Motors was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Silicon Valley, California. The Tesla Motor Company's name is based on the name of Nikola Tesla, a science wizard from the end of the 19th century to the early 20th century. The scientist has made tremendous achievements in electric power and electromagnetics. Contribute to and influence humanity around the world. Tesla Tesla Motors continues the scientific concept of this great man, and it is Tesla Motors' constant pursuit to create a unique shape, efficient acceleration, good handling performance and the world's most fuel-efficient car.

In the era of rapid development of the automobile industry era, the concept of building high-performance electric vehicles has been proposed and successfully invented as early as the 18th century, but it has not been widely popularized due to lags in technology and hindered by many objective facts. However, the idea of ​​building high-performance electric vehicles is the general direction of the automotive industry, and it is also a necessity for promoting global environmental protection.

During the 19th century, a series of hybrid, electric-powered cars came into being. Just as oil resources continue to flow to the market, the development of electric vehicles has stagnated for more than half a century.

Until today, oil resources have been declining and the atmospheric environment has been seriously polluted. People have once again realized the importance of new energy vehicles, and people have begun to pay attention to electric vehicles. We dare not say that electric-driven cars must be the future direction of development, or they will be replaced by new energy sources with lower demand for resources and less emissions in the future, but in the half-century or so today, electric vehicles All have a decisive role in the protection of the Earth's environment. Tesla Motors is just such an automobile factory Tesla Roadster is Tesla's first pure-electric zero-emission sports car. From March 2008 to March 2012, Tesla has sold more than 2250 cars in 31 cars. country. This pure motor vehicle, with its maximum speed of 13,000 rpm, not only brings instant acceleration but also ensures an amazing torque output. Driven by an electric motor, the 100km acceleration of the new Tesla Roadster is completed within 4 seconds and the limit speed is 200km/h.

In addition, Tesla Roadster borrowed heavily from the engineering force of the British Lotus Auto Company in the R&D and production process and borrowed the design concept of the Elise sports car in the initial body design; and its external body adopts the carbon fiber material construction, while the chassis is Made of molded aluminum. This not only gives the new Tesla Roadster a super-stylish look, but it also ensures the sturdiness of the body.

In addition, the new Tesla Roadster also features an advanced lithium-ion energy storage system that allows it to cruise for up to 352 kilometers after a single charge. The energy regenerative braking system is also available for lithium ion during deceleration. The battery pack is charged so that the car can obtain energy supply while walking.

Because of this series of advanced designs, the price of the Tesla Roadster is also very alarming. The base price of the new 2009 Tesla Roadster in the United States is $109,000 without accessories (equivalent to RMB 763,000). Therefore, if you want to own a Tesla Roadster, you must have sufficient financial resources.

The Tesla Model S was assembled at the Fremont plant in California, USA, and was officially launched in the United States on June 22, 2012. Until September 2012, Tesla Motors has received 13,000 Model S orders in North America and Europe. Tesla Motors has also produced 20,000 cars per year after receiving good market feedback. The plan.

Model S's competitors include the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan, priced at approximately $57,400 and sold worldwide. The car was designed by Franz von Holzhausen, a former Mazda North American designer. Model S has a unique chassis, body, engine and energy reserve system. At the same time, it has three battery specifications for consumers to choose, which can drive the vehicle to travel 260 km, 370 km and 480 km. The model S with these three types of batteries is priced at 57,400 US dollars, 67,400 US dollars and 77,400 US dollars. The acceleration time from stationary to 100 km/h for basic models is 5.6 seconds, and that for high-performance sports models is about 4.4 seconds.

Model X is a cross-border model that is currently in production at its Fremont plant in California and will be available next year. The Model X is not a traditional one-way door design. The rear door has an exaggerated gull-wing design. This design allows you to get on and off the car in a compact parking space without worrying about hitting the wall or next to it. Parked other vehicles. At the same time, electric cars have such a commonality that they are not equipped with traditional engines, so the use of the front space of the car becomes the second trunk, providing a very considerable space and practicality. In the interior, the Model X's center console provides a multi-function touch screen, and the visual experience of the car's interior design is very simple. The powertrain consists of two motors mounted on the front and rear axles respectively. With a powerful motor, the car accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in only 4.4 seconds. In addition, three different capacity battery packs with capacities of 40, 60, and 85 kWh are also available for customers to choose from.
