At a press conference in Detroit Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk has revealed some new information about the upcoming Model X and Model 3, and also criticized a number of competing car companies. According to him, the car manufacturers with internal combustion engines should be subject to environmental tax and vodorodomobil′ — extremely stupid idea, and the sooner the refuse from it, the better.
However, for a start after all go back to the Tesla and its novelty. Crossover Model X, Isma said, will come with the same three options powerplant as the sedan Model S. in other words, a high-performance version will be a mighty twin 4 x 4 schematics, developing 691 HP to drive about 380 km on one charge of the battery. Two other options will have 380 HP power and 60 or 85 kWh battery capacity.
ICIA again stressed that branded door wings Falcon will migrate from concept to production car, but warned that all machines that Tesla is able to collect in the year 2015, has already sold out, and orders are accepted only in the year 2016. With regard to the popular sedan Model 3, its price will be around $ 35000, but excluding benefits, tax credits and grants. Thus, in the United States cost about owner machine 27000 dollars, making it cheaper than, for example, buzz made its debut in Detroit Chevrolet Bolt (on 30000 dollars already given all benefits).
Another of the interesting answers Mask reporters: Tesla first will market the machines with the functions of robots, but security issues for a long time would not allow the move to fully autonomous driving; experience Chevrolet Volt he never sees anything useful for yourself; so far no one has addressed the Tesla Motors for permission to open a company patents; in Model S returned backlighting for rear passengers after one of the sons of the Mask could not read a book in the back seat and called therefore electric car in the world.
