The Tesla Gigafactory is will be the largest factory in the world (when fully built) where businessman, visionary and the first man of Tesla Motors, Elon Musk, will produce lithium-ion batteries. The factory is located in Nevada, USA, in the middle of nowhere, and today saw its grand opening, to which Musk invited influential individuals and some buyers of the Tesla Model S. The massive facility is still unfinished (14 percent of the planned, or the first of eight parts, is currently built ), and the plant is expected to breathe with full lungs in 2020, when in terms of usable area it will be the largest building in the world!

The most exclusive, fastest and most powerful SUV on the planet, the Bentley Bentayga and the Tesla Model X P90D electric SUV were never meant to be direct competitors (after all, the Bentley is twice the price), but in the latest episode of Head2Head, they found themselves in an acceleration race ( drag race) "from light to light". We already wrote that the Tesla Model X P90D left behind Ferrari as a joke in this kind of race, so even the monstrous Bentley Bentayga had no real chance. Therefore, he was then challenged by the extremely fast Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, which was a non-series Tesla piece only...
As much as 25 percent of traffic accidents are caused by falling asleep at the wheel, and according to research, every third man has fallen asleep at the wheel! This will no longer be a problem in the future, as self-driving cars are on the way. Or they are already here! Automatic driving, keeping a safe distance and overtaking, among other things, are already possible with Tesla's Autopilot assistance system. The driver of the Tesla Model S took advantage of this, and he peacefully fell asleep behind the wheel, while his car moved safely in the convoy.
It sounds incredible, but it's not! Tesla Model X P90D beats Ferrari F430 in acceleration race! And this in style, as Usain Bolt does in the 100 or 200 meter run! The fight is not equal at all, and yes, we are talking about a 7-seater model, which is considered to be the first electric SUV in the world. Elon Musk doesn't say Tesla can't make slow cars for nothing. And where does Tesla's secret lie?
Some time ago they wrote that Tesla's autopilot is not to be trusted, but after watching this video, you will think otherwise! Tesla's model Tesla S prevented a collision with a truck that had a driver in the blind spot on an American highway in the function of autopilot.
Even China has its own Tesla Model S. It's the LeSEE, an electric car from the LeEco brand. It is a concept that predicts the imminent release of a production model, which is supposed to be a direct competitor to the luxury electric sedan from America. The car will be fully electric and will enable autonomous driving.
For the first time since the Tesla Model S hit the streets in 2012, Tesla has revamped its mass-production pioneer, the luxury electric sedan. It now has the same "eyes" (read the appearance of the front headlights) as the Model X and Model 3 and a "closed mouth" as it no longer shows "teeth" (read the car's hood has dropped the plastic grills).
Tesla Motors has unveiled the long-awaited Model 3, which you can already own today for a thousand euros. The Model 3 limousine is the smallest and cheapest (and probably the first profitable) Tesla model, and it will cost a little over 30,000 euros. As many as 115,000 people placed an order for it in the first 24 hours, and they will receive the keys to the electric vehicle at the end of 2017. By then, the network of Supercharge electric charging stations will be much more spread out.
Nikola Tesla is probably the most overlooked genius in history, who is only recently gaining the recognition he deserves. He was a brilliant scientist, inventor and engineer who patented around three hundred inventions in his lifetime. The exhibition Nikola Tesla - the man of the future will consist of several thematic sections, which will be accompanied by interesting exhibits. You will find it in the premises of Cankarjev dom, between April 11 and November 6, 2016.
Months ago, Tesla Motors introduced the Model X, an SUV with a long list of features. At the recent Christmas presentation, however, the electric liftgate car was presented in a completely new light. As an artist. The three X models put on a real music and light show for the spectators, which was a fun demonstration of what these cars are capable of without a human.
The Porsche Mission E concept car is the result of thinking that if we had endless money and all the knowledge at our disposal, we would... German engineers were in this skin, so this is a luxury sports sedan with 600 horses, which powered by electricity, armed to the teeth with the best they have. They pushed the drive to the 919 Hybrid race car, while for the construction they looked to the production hybrid Spyder 918 and its version for the Le Mans endurance race, and they also removed the battery. Two built-in electric motors produce 600 horsepower, and it accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds. Oh, and it charges faster than a Tesla!
Well, we lived to see him. After languishing and languishing for more than three years, Tesla Motors' newest addition, the Model X, just saw the light of day and cut the umbilical cord with engineers. Well, at least the Signature version. Elon Tusk says that the Model X will be a better crossover, that is, a combination of a sedan and a minivan, like the Model S sedan and the first electric crossover to hit the road. Also Slovenian. Although Tesla was literally "born" with the Model X, it already convinced many customers (he already received over 20,000 orders) who had to pay five (for the standard model) or 40 thousand US dollars (for the Signature model) down payment.
