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.
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.
