Electric cars are becoming more and more popular and are slowly but steadily displacing conventionally powered vehicles. A meeting of owners of alternative drive vehicles was recently organized in the Netherlands and so many gathered that they entered the Guinness Book of Records.

What could be cleaner than Tesla's electric cars? Definitely Tesla's smart – robotic vacuum cleaner that delights housewives all over the world.
Tesla has opened the world's largest battery station for storing electricity on the island of Kauai (California). Solar energy can power an entire city overnight. California is one of the sunniest locations in the world, where many cities rely on solar power, but generators hum at night. No more in Kuaui...
The Tesla Model S 100D is now betting on what really counts. Reach. While we've been hearing about its incredible acceleration for the last few months - these are enviable, but ordinary mortals can't help much with acceleration under three seconds - Tesla Motors has added a version to the 'collection' with a new 100 kWh battery that allows more than a 500-kilometer range and can boast the longest autonomy of an electric car. This is something that has a much greater added value for the customer than light acceleration.
If you think Tesla's Model S P100D is too slow (then you're crazy), now's your chance to consider an even more powerful Tesla. Namely, Tesla Motors has prepared a racing version of the Tesla Model S Race Car for the Electric GT Championship, which you can safely drive even outside the race tracks. Attention! Its acceleration will have you glued to your seat!
Although opinions are still divided about the effectiveness or, better, the reliability of Tesla's Autopilot, here is new proof of how advanced technology can increase road safety. Hans Noordsij, the owner of the Tesla Model X, has it to thank for the fact that it is still in one piece today. When he was driving on the highway, Tesla's sensors - Tesla's autopilot has the ability to automatically detect danger - predicted a traffic accident in front of him and consequently slowed down the vehicle before it actually happened.
Newcomer to the automotive world, Californian startup Ludic Motors has unveiled its first car – the 1,000 HP Lucid Air luxury electric sedan to much interest and admiration. It is priced in the same range as Tesla's Model S, which it is a direct competitor to and is likely to win quite a few buyers.
Tesla is the concept of autonomous driving. Check out how driving on autopilot looks like through the eyes of a Tesla car.
After traveling to Mars on Earth, Elon Musk is saving humanity with a roof tile that will revolutionize the energy independence of every home. A new solar roof developed by Tesla together with a company in its ownership group that specializes in the development of technologies related to obtaining solar energy - SolarCity. The solar roof somehow consists of special bricks, each of which is actually a small solar cell. The solar roof is a significant step towards Tesla's vision: a lifestyle without the use of environmentally harmful and energy-consuming fossil fuels.
Once an invader, always an invader. Elon Musk, founder of Tesla Motors and SpaceX, is moving humanity to Mars! At the International Nautical Congress (IAC), the technological visionary presented his plans to colonize the red planet, which could be reached by the ITS spacecraft (SpaceX) in just 30 days. 200 thousand dollars will have to be paid for the "air ticket" to Mars. But Tusk warns. The journey is likely to be very dangerous and travelers must be prepared to die for it. The first vessel to go to Mars is said to carry the Heart of Gold, based on the fictional vessel of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book. Will humans already be an interplanetary garden in 2022? We recommend watching the presentation video!
A spacecraft with a Facebook satellite exploded in Florida yesterday, which greatly upset Mark Zuckerberg, who pointed the finger at Elon Musk, the alpha and omega of Tesla Motors, for the 95 million damage. The satellite, which would allow users from Africa, the Middle East and Europe to access the Internet, was on board the rocket of his company SpaceX.
The new Tesla Model S P100D boasts better acceleration than Ferrari and Porsche! American electric car manufacturer Tesla Motors has outdone itself again. The Model S was equipped with a new battery with a capacity of 100 kilowatt hours, which enables not only acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in a mere 2.5 seconds, but also a range between 506 and 611 kilometers. In practice, this means that it transports us from Ljubljana to Vienna or Milan without filling up in between. So far, no electric car has been able to charge that much.
