Tesla Model Y (Page 17)

The Kathleen Valley Lithium Project, from which more than 500,000 tons of lithium spodumene concentrate per year will be obtained to supply Tesla, Ford and LG, will be powered by 100 % green, renewable energies combined with battery packs.

Elon Musk has officially announced the start of production of the Tesla Semi and the date of deliveries of its first units to PepsiCo, who acquired up to 100 of these electric trucks years ago.

The year 2022 is going to be the best in Tesla's historical series. The Austin, Texas company is breaking delivery and production records, with the third quarter closing as the best of the year, and while there are still three months to go.

Tesla has announced that it will ditch the use of sensors in all of its electric cars in favor of the cameras and computational neural networks that make up the Tesla Vision system.

With more than a million cars sold per year and with estimates of doubling that number very quickly, Tesla needs more batteries right away. This, among other reasons, is why it is going to expand its Nevada Gigafactory, aiming directly at a steady increase in production.

After opening at the end of March, it took almost three months before Tesla was able to report the first milestone for its German Gigafactory in Grünheide near Berlin: for the first time, 1000 Model Y units were produced within a week, the company announced in mid-June. Since then, rumors of further increases have been heard again and again, and on Saturday the next round number became official: in the past week, 2000 Model Y were produced in the German factory, Tesla announced again via Twitter.

Last night the "Tesla IA Day" event took place in Palo Alto, California, where the Austin EV manufacturer officially presented its advances and improvements in artificial intelligence and robotics, and where the general public was able to directly see a working prototype of Optimus, the humanoid robot with which Elon Musk wants to somehow alleviate many of the burdens of heavy or repetitive everyday tasks for human factory workers.

A fire declared in the recycling section of the Tesla Gigafactory forced firefighters to work hard on its extinction. Although there were – luckily - no personal injuries or damages of great material value, several civil associations from the Brandenburg area are calling for a plant shutdown.

We compare the prices of the Nissan Ariya to its nearest battery-electric crossover peers. Here is how the numbers break out.

Tesla’s market share seems to have declined over a period of three consecutive quarters in all markets. Here’s why the next couple of quarters may paint a clearer picture.

The world's largest battery manufacturer – a key Tesla provider - continues to maintain Europe as one of the main markets for its products. The Chinese manufacturer is evaluating the possibility of a new center, but there are some serious doubts.

The 2023 Tesla Model Y will come with some new features and some features removed. What will these be?

Tesla has just released an adapter that will allow for Tesla vehicles to use Electrify America, EVGo and other public DC fast chargers.

Perspectives on new vehicle prices in a market plagued with scarcity and high inflation.

Yesterday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Tesla has decided to put on hold plans to produce 4680 cells in Giga Berlin. However, today, we have received conflicting information from individuals on the ground citing senior Tesla staff, that suggests work on the Giga Berlin battery plant is progressing according to plan.

For many homeowners, adding an electric vehicle car charger at home is cost prohibitive due to needed service upgrades. A new product may make adding the circuit dramatically more affordable.

Tesla recently removed radar from the company's vehicles and moved to a camera-based pure vision system. However, today we have gotten conflicting information that suggests, Tesla is planning to bring back updated HD radar to the company's vehicles with the upcoming Autopilot Hardware 4 upgrade.

Tesla has once again brought back the Cyberwhistle to the company's online shop. And this time, the EV maker has increased the price of the Cybertruck-inspired whistle by 37%.

Trip Chowdhry, an analyst at Global Equities Research, has specified that Tesla will deliver more than 500,000 electric cars in the fourth quarter of 2022. This would mean reaching one and a half million units registered throughout the current year.

Electric vehicles are better than ever, and with every passing day, automakers big and small announce new models. So why do respected EV experts say the golden age of EVs has passed?

A few weeks, back we got our first images of Tesla's next-generation V4 Superchargers with taller and thinner stalls. And today, we have seen plans for the first Tesla V4 supercharger station to be built in Yuma County, Arizona. The upcoming supercharger station, in addition to the new superchargers, also features solar panels and a megapack.

Tesla workshops are in the middle of a changing process to become a top technical service, one that basically uses F-1 techniques; that's the way Elon Musk wants it to happen, and for that purpose he is introducing changes that may force the service workshops to eventually pay the customers back.

Euro NCAP has just published the safety test results of several new models, most notably the Tesla Model Y, with its - almost perfect - 5 stars: 97% for adult occupant (driver) protection and 98% for automatic safety assistance systems.

Tesla China has just posted its second-highest monthly delivery number in August, producing and selling 76,965 vehicles. And even more impressively, August's delivery numbers mark the second time Giga Shanghai was able to surpass an annualized production run rate of 900,000 vehicles.

Elon Musk stated that Tesla plans to have 10 to 12 Gigafactories around the world, and that their production will be reaching 20 million EV units in 2030. How would this be possible?

The Tesla Model Y has received a leading score of 98 percent in Euro NCAP's automatic emergency braking test despite the vehicle not being equipped with radar. This is a great testament to Elon Musk's and Tesla's belief that level 5 autonomy can be achieved using only cameras.

SolarBotanic presents its new "solar trees" to obtain solar photovoltaic energy; something that would be perfect to combine or integrate with Tesla Superchargers. These solar trees can be used as charging points for electric cars but also for energy supply at home; again, a good combination with Tesla Powerwall units. The arrival is scheduled for 2023.

California is currently experiencing record heat waves and a record electricity demand with authorities warning residents to prepare for rolling blackout. And in response, Elon Musk says the state needs more solar panels & stationary batteries to deal with the current situation.

Tesla carried out very strong durability tests on its 3 most famous EV models on the Dubai desert, where temperatures were well above 122ºF on average.

In a report published a few days ago, Tesla revealed its intention to start manufacturing batteries at the original Fremont-California plant.
