Tesla Model 3 (Page 26)

Only America would continue a confusing scheme after it had reached every one of its objectives.

As per the latest news available, and according to a Reuters source, China's Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd. and its unit GFL International Co Ltd have signed a contract to supply battery-grade lithium products to Tesla. Ganfeng, the world's top lithium company by market capitalization, has already supplied battery-grade lithium to EV producers including Tesla.

Tesla is recalling certain Model 3 and Model Y vehicles because of a suspension issue that may lead to a crash.

There are many different types of suspension components in modern cars, depending on which classification we take into account. As an example: linkages, springs, and shock absorbers. The linkages are the bars and brackets that support the wheels, springs and shock absorbers.

There were some more interesting news regarding the huge deal Tesla closed with Hertz, and Hertz with Uber, earlier this week, that involved 100 thousand Model 3 Teslas.

Hertz just announced today that it will be providing 50 thousand Tesla Model 3 units to Uber, in yet another surprising (somewhat) move that is shaking the ground for many driving platforms. It was a matter of time, as just by doing simple math the whole transaction absolutely makes sense from a TCOE point of view. And it is also a matter of time to see other similar companies following the same pathway.

Tesla’s order from Hertz will result in many minds being changed about EVs. It will also bring some new Tesla owners into the fold. Here’s how I know.

Tesla MIC ("Made In China") has just achieved amazing production numbers. It basically produced 25,864 Model Y units and 24,394 Model 3 units, totaling 50,258 cars in September 2021. That would basically mean more than 600K cars/year coming out of Giga Shanghai alone, another outstanding achievement for Tesla.

We spoke to Tesla and asked how much we needed to pay to take home a new Tesla Model 3 today. The answer was interesting for two reasons.

Tesla’s prices have been rising rapidly. We configured the least expensive Tesla Model 3 possible and then checked our work with Tesla’s help. Here is how to buy the cheapest new Model 3 Tesla sells today.

Tesla famously doesn't do paid advertisements or endorsements. However, as Tesla's brand power grows, increasingly companies are putting more effort to be associated with the EV maker. And one recent example is a Tesla Model 3 commercial featuring Tom Brady.

Tesla secured a huge deal with rental car company Hertz: an order for 100 thousand units, a deal that is the single largest order ever for electric vehicles, worth $4.2 billion in revenue to Tesla that, by the way, would drive it straight to the $1 Trillion club. Once again, Tesla disrupting yet another market niche.

Despite setting record delivery numbers, Tesla seems to be struggling to meet the exploding demand for its vehicles. For the second time this month, Tesla has once again instituted a wide-ranging price increase on its vehicles. The price increase affects the Model S, 3, X, & Y.

Can hacking a car company ever lead to good? Here’s one example that should have Tesla drivers sit up and take notice.

Very good numbers come from New Zealand, as Tesla Model 3 outsold Toyota mainstays such as Toyota´s Corolla, Hilux and RAV4 models in September. Electricity helped give New Zealand new-vehicle sales a boost, with a big bounceback from Covid-19 restrictions: it was the second biggest month on record for registrations, with electrified models making up a very nice 21 per cent of the 16,518 total.

Tesla executives, at the companies recent quarterly earnings call, confirmed the refreshed Model Y, which will be produced at Giga Texas and Giga Berlin, will begin deliveries with 4680 cells and brand new architecture in early 2022.

September was a very good month for Tesla Model 3 sales in France. It sold 2,833 units to become the leader in BEV sales, followed by the Renault Zoe with 2,382 and the Peugeot 208 EV with 2,090 units sold.

Your automaker stole your spare and you need one. Rather than try to create a kit from salvage and spare parts, here's a more sensible solution.

We have news that there is going to be a new auto park feature coming for the Tesla Model Y and Model 3. This will allow one to easily park, especially during periods of dense traffic. However, there are some very profound implications of a Tesla being able to auto park that I'll mention as well.

The Tesla Model 3 sound system has received rave reviews since the car began its initial customer deliveries. Many have noted that the sound quality is superior to even their Model S or Model X vehicles with premium sound upgrades. Teslas with the premium interior option include the ability to turn on immersive sound.

At Gigafactory Berlin-Brandeburg opening last weekend, when asked about when solar roof would be available in Germany, Elon Musk replied “...hopefully next year”, which would roughly translate to 2022. That is certainly good news for future potential users-customers in Germany and Europe in general, as solar panels could be one of the best energy decisions that one can make.

The restricted energy content of batteries is one of the major drawbacks limiting the successful implementation of EV technology nowadays, for every single automaker around the world. Considering the specific energy of gasoline is 9.2kWh/kg, corresponding to more than 3kWh/kg useful specific energy, limitations of the battery powered EV become apparent. That is why any news about Tesla´s 4680 battery production is significant, even more in the case of Giga Texas.

There were many very important things mentioned by Elon Musk last night at the Tesla Shareholder meeting in Austin, Texas. Among them, I would like to point out to three of the things that particularly called my attention, taking into account their potential impact and the benefits that they would bring to customers and users in general.

As per the latest information available at the time of writing this article, Tesla was the number 1 premium auto brand in the U.S. in Q3 2021, even though it only had 3 models available (3, Y, S): Tesla sold 99,000 units, Japanese brand Lexus sold 81,000 units, German automaker BMW sold 76,000 units, and Mercedes Benz and Audi sold 71,000 and 41,000 units, respectively.

Elon Musk thinks it’s a good idea for Tesla to offer a new exterior paint option. Musk said he will bring up the idea with the Tesla team. This is in addition to the refreshed Giga Berlin Model Y which will have "stunning new colors that change subtly with curvature."

The Tesla Model 3 is today the best-selling electric car in the world, with undeniable success in markets such as the United States, Europe or China; it is definitely the ideal choice for making a transition between any 'ICE' (Internal Combustion Vehicle) car and a BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) car, considering that a $ 40,000 price tag would not be a problem.

Tesla is not just a car company, like Ford, Toyota, GM or Volkswagen: it is actually a technology & energy company that combines a wide variety of tools made up of the latest cutting-edge technologies. In part, some of those technologies, like IoT, Smart Charging, Smart Grids and Blockchain are already deployed in the real world.
