TESLA’S MISSION
Launched in 2008, the Roadster unveiled Tesla’s Launched in 2008, the cutting-edge battery Roadster unveiled Tesla’s technology and electric cutting-edge battery powertrain. From there, Tesla technology and electric designed the world’s first ever powertrain. From there, Tesla premium all-electric sedan designed the world’s first from the ground up – Model ever premium all-electric S – which has become the sedan from the ground up – best car in its class in every Model S – which has become category. Combining safety, the best car in its class in performance, and efficiency, every category. Combining Model S has reset the world’s safety, performance, and expectations for the car of efficiency, Model S has reset the 21st century with the the world’s expectations for longest range of any electric
CEO Elon Musk’s “Secret Master Plan,” in 2016, Tesla introduced Model 3, a lowpriced, high-volume electric vehicle that began production in 2017. Soon after, Tesla unveiled the safest, most comfortable truck ever – Tesla Semi – which is designed to save owners at least $200,000 over a million miles based on fuel costs alone.

TESLA ROADSTER
As an all-electric supercar, Roadster maximizes the potential of aerodynamic engineering with record-setting performance and efficiency. Designed for Performance and Aero Efficiency Tesla has matured since the days of the original Roadster, and now Elon Musk’s EV company has a distinct design language. Featuring a minimal grille with no air inlets a benefit of not having to cool down the byproducts of combustion in a traditional engine the Model X looks like the updated Model S, but unlike anything else on the road.The Tesla Model X is just as distinctive from the reverse angle, but those clean lines betray just how huge it is. And it really is vast, so you can get it in five-, sevenor six-seat configurations. s an all-electric supercar, Roadster maximizes the potential of aerodynamic engineering with recordsetting performance and efficiency.

That’s a shame, because there were times when the doors really came in handy. When parked close to other cars, for instance, they allow multiple passengers to hop in and out, where other doors would require a squeeze. Tesla says they’re invaluable for elderly passengers too. But the doors can also be a nuisance, and there were times we’d try to avoid using them. Forgotten a bag in the back? Can’t stretch round and get it from the driver’s seat? Nope. Moments later, seconds later, you’ve got your bag, but onlookers think you’re trying to show off.

About Tesla Tesla was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers who wanted to prove that people didn’t need to compromise to drive electric – that electric vehicles can be better, quicker and more fun to drive than gasoline cars. Today, Tesla builds not only all-electric vehicles but also infinitely scalable clean energy generation and storage products. Tesla believes the faster the world stops relying on fossil fuels and moves towards a zero-emission future, the better.
What’s it like to drive?

If acceleration is too fast for you, putting the car in Chill mode will make the performance a little more laidback the battery range too. Like its siblings, the Model X’s steering is more of a switch than a precise instrument. Changing it to a sportier mode certainly helps, but not much. It may be a family car, but it’s an area where Tesla will need to improve on to compete with the work of more experienced chassis engineers if it wants to appeal to drivers who well, enjoy driving. Of course, Tesla’s ultimate ambition is that you won’t be driving in the traditional sense all the time anyway. Our Model X was fitted with Tesla Autopilot, and it remains one of

Tesla Model 3 information: everything you need to know if you own it, are thinking of buying one or just want to find out more about the new, smaller electric Tesla saloon. Click on the links below for all of CAR magazine’s news, reviews, videos, scoops and spy photos of the Model 3 car range. This is potentially - the breakthrough Tesla car: an affordable EV that should bother the established German ranks of execs, for not much more than a reasonably equipped diesel 3-series. The Model 3 is scheduled to cost just $35,000 in the US, which could mean prices as low as £24,000 in the UK, give or take a Brexit currency wobble. This car is noteworthy also for its incredible crowd-funding genesis; once it was announced, Tesla Motors took an incredible 400,000 pre-orders in a matter of days, raising an astonishing $300 million in the process. For more information on the Tesla Model 3, click on our further stories on the links below at the foot of the page. We’ve yet to drive the new, affordable Tesla compact saloon. We do know it’ll use many of the features from the larger Tesla Model S, but with smaller, cheaper battery packs for a more restricted EV range claimed to stretch to a still-impressive 215 miles. CEO and founder Elon Musk claims the four-door will scuttle silently from 0-62mph in ‘less than 6.0sec’, so performance should be, ahem, electric. We should be testing the 3 in 2017, ahead of its planned launch in 2018 - so stay tuned for our full Tesla Model 3 review.
