Tesla Model 3 (Page 20)

Although Tesla's driver assistance package is not a fully autonomous driving system yet - as per official technical specifications - its effectiveness is widely proven. A Tesla software executive assures that it basically avoids 40 accidents a day.

Although the production of Giga Texas is currently not very large as compared to the numbers of Fremont or Giga Shanghai factories, the role of Giga Texas in Austin will actually be very relevant in the future of Tesla. And for a factory to produce a lot, it is convenient to have the main suppliers close: a very valuable lesson learned in recent years in the automobile industry.

Tesla plans to start mass production of its electric truck, the Tesla Semi, later this year. The company has just updated its website with new images and by adding some important data on the truck.

I just got a Tesla Model 3 RWD with LFP batteries. This replaced my 14 year old Honda Fit. It feels like I'm driving a Space Ship now.

Here’s an update by a mechanic who in the past reported on what he says are truths about electric vehicles and Tesla that no one else will talk about publicly.

Quietly and without any marketing, Tesla has made changes to its website about Tesla Megapack specifications. We can now see that the storage capacity has increased from 2.6 MWh to 3.9 MWh, which is basically a 50% gain; but it does point to the chemistry of the cells being LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate).

The Tesla Canada division has already begun talks with the Government of Ontario for the construction of a possible electric car Gigafactory in the Canadian province very soon.

In an update to the company's online configurator, Tesla has stopped taking new orders for the Model 3 Long Range. Now if you go to Tesla's website to order this Model 3 variant, it simply reads "available in 2023."

Tesla first unveiled the Semi back in 2017 with deliveries expected to begin in 2019. However, after years of delay, today, Elon Musk has confirmed that the 500-mile version of the Tesla Semi will start "shipping this year."

Worldwide sales of plug-in cars continue to increase every month. During the first half of the year record figures have been reached, that basically show that China is the great market at the moment.

Tesla has modified the calculation algorithm for estimating the range of its electric cars, including the influence of tire pressure, the cooling system of the battery compartment and even the recharging of mobile phones.

Tires are going to become increasingly expensive as America adopts battery-electric vehicles. Here’s why it matters.

Despite a slight decrease in production due to the pandemic outbreak in Shanghai, Tesla continues to reap excellent economic figures. At the end of the second quarter of 2022, profits doubled as compared to the same period of 2021.

At Tesla's recently held Q2 2022 earnings call, the EV maker has revealed that it is working on a second-generation Giga Casting. And according to Tesla, the next generation Giga Casting will be used to build the Cybertruck.

At Tesla's recently held second quarter earnings call, Elon Musk has given us more details regarding the refreshed Model Y's structural battery pack. Musk says the pack is not yet optimized and that it is a "C" in an "A" architecture.

Last week we saw schematics for Tesla's V4 supercharger showing thinner and taller stalls. And, today, thanks to a Tesla application to build a supercharger site in Danvers, Massachusetts, we get our first look at all the changes coming to Tesla's V4 supercharger.

The release note for Tesla's next iteration of FSD Beta software, FSD Beta 10.13 has been leaked online. In the release note, Tesla lists several improvements, including improvements to "Chuck Cook style unprotected left turns."

In recent months the price of life has skyrocketed worldwide: inflation is not something that worries only the USA, but obviously all main EV markets like Europe, Asia-Pacific and Canada. Elon Musk just assured that Tesla will lower prices of its cars as soon as inflation goes down.

After a seemingly endless series of price hikes, now Elon Musk says Tesla can lower prices for its vehicles if inflation calms down.

According to data released by China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), for the first time in the month of June, the Model Y has become the best-selling vehicle in China. And even more impressively, the Model Y was able to beat not only battery-electric vehicles but also internal combustion vehicles with a starting price below $10,000.

We have a review of the Tesla Model Y and the big question is: Is this vehicle better than the Tesla Model 3? Let's find out!

Tesla has a surprising lead in Europe and there is one fact that truly stands out to me. Tesla is starting to outsell ALL cars in Europe, not just EVs. Let's take a closer look.

Munro & Associates has begun the first teardown of the 4680 Model Y with a structural battery pack. From the initial observations, the firm's engineers have called the structural pack architecture mind-blowing. And now, Musk has responded to Munro & Associate's comments saying "it is still far from optimized."

Tesla recently posted production and delivery numbers for Q2 which were 15% less than what the EV maker delivered in Q1 2022. However, with the ramp of Giga Texas & Giga Berlin, Tesla is poised for record production for the second half of the year.

After starting production at Giga Texas with the refreshed Model Y with 4680 cells and a structural battery pack, today, Tesla has also started selling a second Model Y variant from the Austin facility. The new Model Y Long Range comes with the 2170 cells and updated interior features.

After facing difficulties ramping 4680 cell production in-house, Tesla has been partnering with battery suppliers to build the new cell format. And today we learned that Samsung SDI is setting up a pilot plant to supply 4680 cells to Tesla and BMW.

Is a 2022 Tesla Model 3, RWD worth it? We have a review from one owner who did a quality check on the car shortly after its delivery. Were there any issues? Let's find out.

Tesla has teamed up with the electric company PG&E in California to release a new version of the Powerwall virtual power plant. The highlight is that in the event of a power emergency, users who contribute their backup energy will receive 2 dollars for each kWh contributed.

What is the true cost of owning a Tesla Model 3 after 20,000 miles? One owner shares his experience with any problems he encountered, along with what charging costs were and how he felt about the car overall.

In the 3rd part of Elon Musk's interview with Tesla Owners Silicon Valley, Musk says that Tesla has finally locked the design of the Cybertruck and that they "got carried away" with all the changes made to the futuristic truck. Musk has also again pushed the Cybertruck production date and now says it will come in "the middle of next year, roughly 12 monthish."
