Ear pain/Pressure help
We have had our model Y since June. Had a number of issues that have been fixed including misaligned trim, the back seat noise, loose amplifier, and a rock chip. One weird thing that the SC couldn't help with is ear pain my wife and I both have when in the car. Nobody there could experience it. I have a 3 and had an S before with no issues.
Our data indicate that tinnitus is associated with subjective electromagnetic hypersensitivity. An individual vulnerability probably due to an over activated cortical distress network seems to be responsible for, both, electromagnetic hypersensitivity and tinnitus. Hence, therapeutic efforts should focus on treatment strategies (e.g. cognitive behavioral therapy) aiming at normalizing this dysfunctional distress network.
Precautionary Measures: For individuals still concerned about EMFs and RF radiation from EVs, here are a few precautionary measures to consider.
Limit Time in Stationary Cars: Reduce the amount of time spent in the car when it is not moving.
Ensure Proper Ventilation: Keep the car well-ventilated to help mitigate any potential, albeit minimal, exposure to EMFs and RF radiation.
These steps can help alleviate concerns, even though the levels of radiation emitted by EVs are generally considered safe by current scientific standards.
Fire at Port of Oakland Extinguished, Originating in Lithium Battery Storage Facility
The Port of Oakland was shrouded in a blanket of dark smoke after a fire broke out Sunday afternoon, sending alarm through the Bay Area community. According to SFGate, the blaze ignited in a facility housing lithium batteries on Seventh Street and was effectively snuffed out by 4:30 p.m., following efforts by the Oakland Fire Department.
With various impressed external magnetic field intensities an effect was noticed on the charge and discharge curves as well as the charge and mass concentrations within the batteries. With the two-dimensional model starting from 0mT and going to 1mT had the effect of discharging the battery faster and charging the battery faster. With the two-dimensional model starting from 1mT and going to -1mT had the effect of charging the battery faster. In either case an effect on the various characteristics of the battery were studied. With the experiments conducted on the two types of batteries the effect was more profound than subtle. Discharge times were twice as fast and charge times were equally
affected. With the smaller batteries they all generally charged faster under the presence of a magnetic field due to more uniform penetration. In the presence of the field they also discharged faster. The larger batteries would not see the same uniform penetration because only a small area of the battery sees the center of the coil it is placed on

When computers go wrong, we tend to assume it's just some software hiccup, a bit of bad programming.

And yet they have been singled out as the possible culprits behind numerous extraordinary cases of computer failure.

How low could LFP costs go?
There are countless ways cost reduction can be achieved within gigafactories, ranging from procurement, cell design and local price reductions. Here we explore 3 of them: a reduction in cathode active material (CAM) price due to LFP oversupply, halving of electricity/gas pricing due to local subsidies, and halving the workers required via increased factory optimisation.
Procuring cost-effective CAM is critical to reducing the cost of the cell. In the base case LFP CAM price is $8.5/kg, reducing to $6.2/kg in the optimised case, resulting in savings of almost $5/kWh. Short-term savings to this extent are feasible due to the oversupply of Chinese LFP which suppliers have been attempting to offload at severely discounted prices.

Not interested in your opinion. Elon is a class a Liar and con man. He already proved that many times already. This is not a question of if he lies, it is a question of how many lies he told how many shareholders lost money because of his deliberate false information he put out there to pump the stock, take the profits and leave the many investors shafted. The list is long and the honest people know what I am talking about. I don't need to listen to Lemmings, Parrots, and people with absolutely no common sense when it comes to living their whole existence based on what BS Elon feeds them next.

More Information Emerges About Saturday’s Car Crash That Killed 3, Critically Injured 3
The tragic incident unfolded at approximately 2:38 a.m. when a Tesla Model 3 veered off the road and slammed into an unoccupied building in the 2300 block of Foothill Boulevard at Vista Ave., according to Pasadena Police Lt. Anthony Russo.
The Tesla, carrying six occupants westbound, was traveling at least double the speed limit when the driver ran a red light and lost control, police told told local tv news.
In an interview with local news outlet Dahe Daily, the 55-year-old driver, Zhan, who said he was a former truck driver, said he tried pressing the brake pedal and the emergency parking brake button, but with no effect
Tesla China denied the family member’s claims, noting that data from the ill-fated Model Y showed that the accelerator pedal was depressed deeply during the incident. Tesla stated that the Park button was indeed pressed during the vehicle’s final drive four times, but only briefly. Previous tests from Tesla owners indicated that pressing Park for an extended period of time while the vehicle is in motion would stop the car
New information received by the NHTSA shows that sudden unintended acceleration events with Tesla EVs were real and not driver errors. The report explains in detail what caused the cars to accelerate even when the accelerator pedal was not pressed.
What's worse is that the incorrectly increased sensor signals will be sent via the CAN bus to the vehicle logs, causing Tesla and NHTSA to conclude that the driver caused the sudden increase in torque by stepping on the accelerator pedal. But in this case, the sudden acceleration was caused not by the driver stepping on the accelerator pedal but by a random superposition of a negative-going voltage spike (which is about 100 microseconds long), and the sampling time of the analog-to-digital converter (which is about 10 microseconds long). This random superposition explains the low occurrence rate of sudden acceleration in Tesla vehicles

UTA service delayed after TRAX train gets derailed in West Valley City
WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — A Utah Transit Authority TRAX train was derailed Sunday afternoon in West Valley City, causing disruptions along the Green Line.
According to UTA spokesman Carl Arky, the train car that went off the rails was the last in a group of four, heading south. The first three had no issues, but the fourth somehow got derailed and then hit a power pole. There were passengers in the front three cars, but none in the fourth. Nobody was injured.

in my humble opinion, there is reason for EVERY ONE of Elon’s recent decisions.
1 He called our Reuterz even though he knew that there was some basis for the story
2. The story was incomplete. What happened was that some of the attendees DID speak to Reuters and told them yhat Tesla was going to focus on the Robotaxi. We knew already that the ONLY reason he went along with simultaneous development was that Franz convinced him that it was basically the same car. Perhaps they hit a point in the design process where priorities had to be assigned, and Elon made the choice, that he knows is right: robotaxi first. you may well wonder why he does not want a cheaper Tesla. My answer is: i trust Elon’s gut much more than yours.
3. of you do not see the obvious impact on supercharging, I cannot help you. BUT what if he got surprisingly strong pushback from the entire team? You and U may have teacted a
little differemtly than Elom; but, hey, he is entitled to make the decision he did; the worst consequence is that some of the laid off people will be hard to bring back, and some of thsm wiuld not go back. BUT just remember thatthrgraveyards are full of indispensable people.

George Orwell's 1984 comes to real-life after a building collapses in Russia. Russia accuses Ukraine of attacking this one part of residential buildings in the area, which is a stretch in of itself, and Ukraine denies. Meanwhile the greater public is left in confusion about what really happened. This is one basic concept from Orwells 1984 in action. I think its surprising they havent adapted 1984 into a TV series but it could clue people in that some of what happens in the whole Russia vs Ukraine war is propaganda to distract from abnormal events like this. The Russian Ministry of Defense accuses Ukraine of a “terrorist attack” in Belgorod, while the Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation suggests an internal explosion. In its statement, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that the “Kyiv regime” carried out a “terrorist attack” on the residential quarters of Belgorod around 11:40. According to the report, the Ukrainian troops allegedly used the Tochka-U tactical missile system, the Vilha multiple-launch rocket systems, and the RM-70 Vampire for this purpose. However, videos posted on social media showcased that the building was not hit by debris, shells, or rockets. An explosion can be seen from the inside on the first floor or in the basement. Jain is one of tens of thousands of Tesla owners who have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts, according to a Reuters review of thousands of Tesla documents. The chronic failures, many in relatively new vehicles, date back at least seven years and stretch across Tesla’s model lineup and across the globe, from China to the United States to Europe, according to the records and interviews with more than 20 customers and nine former Tesla managers or service technicians.
Given this building seemingly collapsed on its own and was not attacked by Ukraine, im going to suggest that what happened was a result of Hutchison Effect in action. As far as any explosions, Hutchison Effect/EM radiation could have caused gas pipelines to burst, transformer in the basement to explode, or simply cause the building's metal structure to weaken enough to collapse and the collapse itself caused the explosions people heard. What gives further credence to the idea the Hutchison Effect was involved here was the fact that there was a major geomagnetic storm that occurred starting Friday. I said before it hit to keep an eye out for various things like building collapses and out of control Teslas.
As best as i can figure, natural EM radiation possibly combining with man-made sources leads to the Hutchison Effect in Metals. This can cause metal to bend without heat, burst, fracture, completely break, rust, and even turn to dust. The exact mechanism that are involved is not known in public circles as the information is classified. The only reason we (the public) know anything about it is John Hutchison whom the effect is named after.
The Hutchison Effect is why Teslas and other EVs experience enhanced corrosion issues leading to increased rusting of the underbelly and spontaneous fracturing of suspension components. Tesla's are well known for this problem including the phenomenon called Whompy Wheel. There is a ceramic coating placed on the underbelly of EVs and ICE vehicles to help prevent these types of things, however the coating seems to wear quickly. As the earths magnetic field weakens we will see more of the Hutchison Effect and so ceramics will become more and more important. In fact there is a company in California working on Ceramic dome buildings which supposedly will last 500 years. This will be important.
Another phenomena of the Hutchison Effect, the melding of dissimilar materials like what occurred on 911. It does send a message but not what the title suggests. Instead it sends a message that 9/11 was an inside job so the US could leave the 1972 Anti-Ballisitic Treaty (this is fact, December 13th, 2001 Bush sent a letter to Putin stating that 911 was the reason it was leaving the treaty). Hot steel would have burned the bible but via the Hutchison Effect the bible was able to displace the steel to become one with it.

=======================================
Hutchison Effect & Teslas Whompy Wheel issue
https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-musk-steering-suspension/
The exact cause of the Hutchison Effect is unknown in public spheres as it is classified under national security. However the most likely culprit seems to be a combination of electromagnetic sources coming together in a way to change the makeup of metals leading to their rusting, softening, fracturing, complete breaking, even dustification. Keep in mind the degree of metal materials that are within our buildings and infrastructure...even in concrete. Maybe this is why we are seeing an increase in building and bridge collapses?

Containers with special batteries for wind turbines are on fire – exploding lithium cells endanger fire fighting teams (on tape)
Population is warned of possible danger from escaping gases – there are always minor explosions
Date: Saturday 27. April 2024, 9 p.m.

RECREATING THE “STUCK THROTTLE” PROBLEM ON A TOYOTA
While most passenger vehicles older than about 15-20 years controlled the throttle with a cable connected directly from the throttle body to the accelerator pedal, most manufacturers have switched to a fly-by-wire system which takes sensor input from the accelerator pedal and sends that position information to the vehicle’s computer which in turn adjusts the throttle position. This might be slightly cheaper to manufacture, but introduces a much larger number of failure modes to a critical system.
[Colin] is recreating one of those failure modes by introducing an electromagnetic pulse at a specific point on the vehicle’s computer. In the real world, this could be caused by certain forms of EMF potentially including cosmic rays. This introduces a memory fault which the computer doesn’t seem capable of recognizing or clearing. With the right set of circumstances that [Colin] can reliably produce, the computer eventually will drive the throttle fully open, and the condition can only be corrected by power-cycling the vehicle’s computer.
Lol, I’m sure many of my electrical tools have a mind of their own.
Regardless, I do generate enough solar to power 80% of my household and all the electric tools.

Electric lawnmower isnt likely to go all 'Maximum Overdrive' on you like the movie as it lacks the computer tech needed for things like bit flips. No it's more likely to catch on fire and burn wherever you store it along with it due to EM radiation causing the lithium batteries to spontaneously combust.
Teslas are just computers on wheels. Thus they can and will glitch during solar/geomagnetic storms. This is known. Its just near impossible to prove. So you have to look at Tesla accidents in aggravate not individually and look for patterns like failing to negotiate a curve and driving into an object for no apparent reason. Theres a reason Teslas get into more accidents than any other car statistically.
With the rise of self-driving car technology, it's possible that computer systems on these vehicles could malfunction due to cosmic rays. What if, during an automated trip, imagery from a camera mounted at the front of the car became corrupted and the on-board computer failed to spot a person walking out in front of the vehicle?
However, the research is yet to be published and he says he's not allowed to reveal what the starting level of accuracy was during the experiments.
Such interventions could make self-driving cars of the future safer but they wouldn't eliminate the possibility of a cosmic ray causing other problems. And this raises an interesting conundrum for insurers.
"In a world of fully autonomous vehicles, how can you prove the accident happened because of cosmic rays?" says Rech. "That is very challenging. I mean, it's impossible, by definition." In ambiguous cases, disputes over whether a human or technology manufacturer – or space weather – was at fault might be difficult to resolve
For an expert opinion, KXAN took the case to Dragan Djurdjanovic. A professor in mechanical engineering, Djurdjanovic looked into similar allegations against Tesla around 2008. The expert said it's very possible that electromagnetic interference between wires caused the accident.
Not only can low-frequency magnetic fields pose health hazards to human beings, but they can also affect some electric control units (ECUs) in a vehicle. An ECU that consists of Hall-effect sensors located near the battery pack or powertrain modules could be affected by the low-frequency magnetic field if no sufficient shielding is provided.
The electromagnetic interference affects the automobile electronic control system mainly in two ways: one is to affect the input signal of the sensor of the electronic control system, causing distortion and resulting in electric control signal where the ECU output does not match the driver's intention, which leads to the wrong operation of the actuator; the other is to interfere the ECU output signal to result in its deviation, misleading the operation of the actuator.

3 dead, 3 injured after Tesla crashes into light poles, building in Pasadena
Three people were killed and three others were taken to hospitals after a single-car crash that briefly knocked out power to nearby homes and businesses in Pasadena on Saturday morning, May 11, authorities said.
All six people, ages 17 to 22, were in a Tesla Model 3 sedan headed westbound on Foothill Boulevard when the driver failed to negotiate a curve, causing the car to hit the curb just after 2:35 a.m., Pasadena Lt. Anthony Russo said.
“That put the vehicle into the air,” Russo said, before the car hit two city light poles, a power pole and a building at the corner of Foothill and Vista Avenue before coming to rest several hundred feet west of the building.
Police believe speed was a factor in the crash, Russo said.
There was evidence at the scene that alcohol may have been involved, but it’s too soon for us to tell if the driver was impaired or if any of the occupants were under the influence,” the lieutenant said.
The lawsuit, which was also filed on behalf of the only child of Von Ohain and Bass, alleges that Tesla, facing financial pressures, released its Autopilot system before it was ready to be used in the real world. It also claims the company has had a “reckless disregard for consumer safety and truth," citing a 2016 promotional video.

And yet they have been singled out as the possible culprits behind numerous extraordinary cases of computer failure. From a vote-counting machine that added thousands of non-existent votes to a candidate's tally, to a commercial airliner that suddenly dropped hundreds of feet mid-flight, injuring dozens of passengers
Plus, since giant ejections from the sun can sometimes send huge waves of particles towards Earth, what's called space weather, an unnerving prospect looms: we could see much more disruption to computers than we're used to during a massive geomagnetic storm in the future

Thanks for that intro. See another Tesla veers off its path into a pole killing everyone involved. There was also a train that derailed in the early portion of this storm.
Its interesting but most Tesla accidents around CMEs, do so at the earliest stages of the storm or in the day(s) after but less likely during the peak of the storm. Peak of the storm occurred last night but it is still raging. level 4 Geostorm.
Also, for whatever reason, news agency coverage of Tesla accidents are delayed on the weekends.

Tesla suffers SUA and drives into a parking garage wall.
I'm begging all of you to NEVER get in a Tesla as long as you live. It started accelerating on its own in a parking garage and my dad lost all control of the car and we ran into a wall at 40 mph. Most horrifying experience of my life.
Jain is one of tens of thousands of Tesla owners who have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts, according to a Reuters review of thousands of Tesla documents. The chronic failures, many in relatively new vehicles, date back at least seven years and stretch across Tesla’s model lineup and across the globe, from China to the United States to Europe, according to the records and interviews with more than 20 customers and nine former Tesla managers or service technicians.
Largest magnetic storm in decades and no Tesla crashes. Debunked myth entirely
Elons companies can’t be stopped. FSD wide release on the horizon
I agree. Since he can't get the 56 billion package through regulators, he will drive the price of the stock down and buy back a ton of shares and make his 56 billion in share value. He definitely has something up his sleeve. Elon and Cathy Wood are the two main manipulators.
OH SO YOU CAN DETECT THE FAILURE HUNNH !!
YOU SEND YOUR CV TO ELON; HE COULD USE A NEW LATIN GENIOUS WITH COUPE HAT !!
It's sad to see the bungling and failure at Tesla when it comes to FSD. In my city that is all hilly and difficult driving Waymo has taken over smoothly and they are all over as I see them operate so smoothly and efficiently. My son is now using Waymo and is totally happy with it. All that Tesla has talk, talk and talk for about a decade! I'm almost decided to dispose of my remaining shares of Tesla and buy more/add on Google and Amazon and Nvidia shares, instead. No end to this trail of bad news with Tesla! I've had enough of this sad saga and the misdirection of a great company that initiated the transformation of the Transportation industry.
Oil industry could help the Biden administration tap 'invisible' green energy
BOISE, Idaho — A U.S. Department of Energy report this spring made a bold prediction.
The nascent geothermal industry, it said, has a ready workforce of 300,000 engineers, hydrologists, drillers and power plant operators ready to tap right here in this country.
All that's needed are more early adopters like Tina Riley who are willing to move over from the oil and gas sector. After two decades as a geologist with ExxonMobil in Houston, she recently moved to Idaho to help run Boise's geothermal utility.
"Boise is really well known for geothermal and I wanted to become part of it," Riley says. "I really wanted to be part of the energy transition."
Geothermal energy, which in its simplest form means tapping hot water locked in granite faults sometimes thousands of feet below the surface of the earth to create heat or electricity, is often dubbed an invisible technology. It's long been seen as underutilized. But it's also a hugely expensive renewable resource to extract compared to more conventional drilling.
Amazing times for geomagnetic power to thrust itself on humanity in ways they thought they understood but most certainly underestimated when locality is realized
World told to brace for 'severe geomagnetic storm' today - the first in nearly 20 years - which could bring chaos to mobile phone networks, GPS satellites and power grids
The uncommonly powerful solar storm is expected to hit around midday Friday
It follows a series of solar flares that began on Wednesday, tipping officials off
The prospective storm could cause disruptions to GPS, the internet and power
At least five streams of plasma, known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), are heading toward Earth, prompting the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to issue a severe geomagnetic storm watch for Friday into the weekend.
With the rise of self-driving car technology, it's possible that computer systems on these vehicles could malfunction due to cosmic rays. What if, during an automated trip, imagery from a camera mounted at the front of the car became corrupted and the on-board computer failed to spot a person walking out in front of the vehicle?
However, the research is yet to be published and he says he's not allowed to reveal what the starting level of accuracy was during the experiments.
Such interventions could make self-driving cars of the future safer but they wouldn't eliminate the possibility of a cosmic ray causing other problems. And this raises an interesting conundrum for insurers.
"In a world of fully autonomous vehicles, how can you prove the accident happened because of cosmic rays?" says Rech. "That is very challenging. I mean, it's impossible, by definition." In ambiguous cases, disputes over whether a human or technology manufacturer – or space weather – was at fault might be difficult to resolve
Tesla recalls 6,000 cars over risk of loose bolts
Tesla is recalling 5,974 of its electric vehicles over concerns that their brake caliper bolts might loosen, which could potentially cause a loss of tire pressure and increase the risk of a crash, according to documents made public by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Cars that are part of the voluntary recall include certain 2019-2021 Model 3 vehicles and 2020-2021 Model Y vehicles.
Tesla said it was made aware of an issue in December of a field incident involving a 2021 Model Y with a missing fastener on the driver-side rear brake caliper. It has since taken measures to prevent the issue during assembly.
When computers go wrong, we tend to assume it's just some software hiccup, a bit of bad programming. But ionising radiation, including rays of protons blasted towards us by the sun, can also be the cause. These incidents, called single-event upsets, are rare and it can be impossible to be sure that cosmic rays were involved in a specific malfunction because they leave no trace behind them.

Tesla’s Autopilot drove car into tree, killing Colorado man in fiery crash, lawsuit alleges
The widow of Hans Von Ohain, who worked for Tesla, alleges the self-driving car feature was not ready for consumers
Tesla’s advanced Autopilot driving system malfunctioned and caused one of the electric car maker’s Colorado employees to drive off the road and die in a fiery crash, a newly filed wrongful death lawsuit alleges.
The widow of Hans Von Ohain says her husband was driving back from golfing in Evergreen with a friend on May 16, 2022, when the Autopilot system “unexpectedly caused the 2021 Tesla Model 3 to sharply veer to the right, leading it off the pavement” on Upper Bear Creek Road.
The 33-year-old Von Ohain, who was intoxicated, fought to regain control of the vehicle, “but, to his surprise and horror,” the car drove off the road and into a tree, where it burst into flames, according to the 16-page complaint filed May 3 in Clear Creek County District Court.
If Von Ohain was, in fact, using the Full Self-Driving feature, it would make his death the first known fatality involving Tesla’s most advanced driver-assistance technology, the Washington Post reported.

Elon needs to step down and let someone else run Tesla. He has too many irons in the fire, it’s no secret WallStreet does not like him or Tesla. This will stay stagnate until then.

Nikola Tesla was born in 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His father was a priest in the Serbian Orthodox church
and his mother managed the family’s farm. In 1863 Tesla’s brother Daniel was killed in a riding accident.
The shock of the loss unsettled the 7-year-old Tesla, who reported seeing visions—the first signs of his lifelong mental illnesses.

$TSLA, Exclusive: Bill Ford at Mustang Mach-E unveil admits being on Tesla’s turf
Bradley Berman
- Nov. 17th 2019 10:44 pm ET
Minutes after the official unveiling of the Ford Mustang Mach-E,
we jumped into the press scrum surrounding Bill Ford. Electrek asked Ford’s chairman, and Henry Ford’s great-grandson,
if he knew the introduction was taking place one block from Tesla’s design center.
“That’s a coincidence,” he said. And then he flashed a big smile.
Tesla Motors, Inc. (Tesla), incorporated on July 1, 2003, designs, develops, manufactures and sells electric vehicles and advanced electric vehicle powertrain components. Tesla owns its sales and service centers and Supercharger stations. In addition to the Company’s own vehicles, it designs, develops, manufactures, and sells advanced electric vehicle powertrain components to other automotive manufacturers. The Company has provided development services and powertrain components to Daimler AG (Daimler) for its Smart fortwo and A-Class electric vehicles. The Company developed stationary energy storage products for use in homes, commercial sites, and utilities. The Company offers financial products through various financial institutions in the United States, Europe, and Asia.
Tesla Motors was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers in Silicon Valley who wanted to prove that electric cars could be better than gasoline-powered cars. With instant torque, incredible power, and zero emissions, Tesla’s products would be cars without compromise. Each new generation would be increasingly affordable, helping the company work towards its mission: to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable transport.
Tesla’s engineers first designed a powertrain for a sports car built around an AC induction motor, patented in 1888 by Nikola Tesla, the inventor who inspired the company’s name. The resulting Tesla Roadster was launched in 2008. Accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and achieving a range of 245 miles per charge of its lithium ion battery, the Roadster set a new standard for electric mobility. Tesla would sell more than 2,400 Roadsters, now on the road in more than 30 countries.
In 2012, Tesla launched Model S, the world’s first premium electric sedan. Built from the ground up to be 100 percent electric, Model S has redefined the very concept of a four-door car. With room for seven passengers and more than 64 cubic feet of storage, Model S provides the comfort and utility of a family sedan while achieving the acceleration of a sports car: 0 to 60 mph in about five seconds. Its flat battery pack is integrated into the chassis and sits below the occupant cabin, lending the car a low center of gravity that enables outstanding road holding and handling while driving 265 miles per charge. Model S was named Motor Trend’s 2013 Car of the Year and achieved a 5-star safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
In late 2014, Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled two dual motor all-wheel drive configurations of Model S that further improve the vehicle’s handling and performance. The 85D features a high efficiency motor at the front and rear, giving the car unparalleled control of traction in all conditions. The P85D pairs a high efficiency front motor with a performance rear motor for supercar acceleration, achieving a 0 to 60 mph time of 3.2 seconds – the fastest four-door production car ever made.
Now with more than 50,000 vehicles on the road worldwide, Tesla is preparing to launch Model X, a crossover vehicle that enters volume production in 2015. Featuring exhilarating acceleration, falcon wing doors, and room for three rows of seating, Model X defies categorization.
Tesla owners enjoy the benefit of charging at home so they never have to visit a gas station or spend a cent on gasoline. For long distance journeys, Tesla’s Supercharger network provides convenient and free access to high speed charging, replenishing half a charge in as little as 20 minutes. Superchargers now connect popular routes in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
Tesla’s vehicles are produced at its factory in Fremont, California, previously home to New United Motor Manufacturing Inc., a joint venture between Toyota and General Motors. The Tesla Factory has returned thousands of jobs to the area and is capable of producing 1,000 cars a week.
The company is expanding its manufacturing footprint into other areas, including in Tilburg, the Netherlands, where it has an assembly facility, and Lathrop, California, where it has a specialized production plant. To reduce the costs of lithium ion battery packs, Tesla and key strategic partners including Panasonic have begun construction of a gigafactory in Nevada that will facilitate the production of a mass-market affordable vehicle, Model 3. By 2020, the gigafactory will produce more lithium ion cells than all of the world’s combined output in 2013. The gigafactory will also produce battery packs intended for use in stationary storage, helping to improve robustness of the electrical grid, reduce energy costs for businesses and residences, and provide a backup supply of power.
Tesla is not just an automaker, but also a technology and design company with a focus on energy innovation.
The Tesla Roadster is an electric sports car. The Company sells and services its Tesla Roadster though its Company-owned sales and service network in the North America, Europe and Asia. It has delivered approximately 2,500 Tesla Roadsters to customers in over 30 countries. It completed the production of Tesla Roadster gliders at Lotus Cars Limited in January 2012.
Model S is a four door, five-passenger premium sedan. It has designed Model S to include a third row with two rear-facing child seats, subject to applicable safety regulations and requirements, allowing the Company to offer a seven passenger sedan.
The Company revealed an early prototype of the Model X crossover as the first vehicle that it intends to develop by leveraging the Model S platform. This vehicle has been designed to fill the niche between the roominess of a minivan and the style of an SUV, while having high performance features, such as a dual motor all-wheel drive system. Model X will seat seven adults. The Company anticipates that it would make Model X available with 60 kWh and 85 kWh battery pack options, with pricing of each version similar to those of a comparably equipped Model S.
The Company also has announced its intent to develop a third generation electric vehicle, to which it refers as Gen III, to be produced at the Tesla Factory.
In addition to the Company’s own vehicles, it designs, develops, manufactures, and sells advanced electric vehicle powertrain components to other automotive manufacturers. The Company has provided development services and full powertrain systems and components to Daimler AG for its Smart fortwo, A-Class, and B-Class electric vehicles. It has also developed an electric powertrain system for Toyota Motor Corporation for use in its RAV4 EV. As of December 31, 2013 the Company shipped approximately 1,600 units.
In 2013, the Company developed stationary energy storage products for use in homes, commercial sites, and utilities. The applications for these battery systems include backup power, peak demand reduction, demand response and wholesale electric market services. The Company intends to ramp sales of these products in 2014. In 2015, Tesla introduced the Powrball: Tesla Home Battery. Powerwall is a home battery that charges using electricity generated from solar panels, or when utility rates are low, and powers your home in the evening. It also fortifies your home against power outages by providing a backup electricity supply. Automated, compact and simple to install, Powerwall offers independence from the utility grid and the security of an emergency backup. Powerball comes in 10kWh weekly cycle and 7kWh daily cycle models. Both are guaranteed for ten years and are sufficient to power most homes during peak evening hours. Multiple batteries may be installed together for homes with greater energy need, up to 90 kWh total for the 10 kWh battery and 63 kWh total for the 7 kWh battery.
The Company offers financial products through various financial institutions in the United States, Europe, and Asia. In the United States and Canada, it offers customer loans through specified commercial banking partners. In connection with certain of these loans, the Company offers a resale value guarantee to all customers who purchased a Model S and financed their vehicle.
