Tesla Motors

Tesla Motors develops and manufactures electric vehicles with exceptional design, performance and efficiency, while conforming to all U.S. safety, environmental and durability standards. The Tesla Roadster is the only highway capable production electric car of any kind for sale in the United States.
With a 0 to 60 mph acceleration of 3.9 seconds, a 13,000 rpm redline, and the fastest top gear acceleration of any production car tested by Car & Driver magazine in 2007, combined with an EPA rating of 135 MPG equivalent, the Tesla Roadster is unique in providing super car performance at twice the energy efficiency of the best hybrids..


This is the future vehicle... Original design by Nicolai Tesla... 10 years from now forget the gasoline in our vehicle..

Mga 100+k USD ata ito?

That looks very promising!!! But at US$98,000, the price is still very prohibitive...

Tesla motors is giving the consumers the option to go full electric with the performance of the best gasoline fed super-cars.

Now, if they can only lower the selling price of their products.

I also believe na electric cars are the future especially nung nakita ko yung tesla, tzero and X1 spanking gasoline sportscars hehehe...
Theres a lot of videos on youtube of people converting their regular cars to electric. Apparently theres already a market for it kase may mga conversion kits na nabibili online. Medyo mahal nga lang. But it will probably pay for itself considering na ang mahal ng gasolina ngayon at patuloy na tumataas ang price.

Tesla motors developed their vehicle using carbon fiber body with lightweight extruded aluminum, very difficult to do if you are just going to do little at a time.

AC motor is much more expensive, and better than DC, they also resolved the battery problem everyone faces. imagine running 322 Km per charge. Expensive stuff. http://www.teslamotors.com/design/under_the_skin.php

Still technology can be improved on all of it.

The battery solution was simple and straight forward, use the battery with the higher power density. With current technology, the lithium ion battery is the solution, the same battery being used by today's modern mobile phones and notebook computers.

And obviously since the batteries are expensive, the car is expensive as well.

There is no massive technology breakthrough with the Tesla Roadster. It is simply using current available materials and technology to produce a product with limited marketability (mainly to the very rich and feeling a little eco-guilty).

AC motors with it controls system is also expensive, while most are going for the cheaper DC motors, they went to an expensive solution.
The breakthrough is in dispelling the idea that it cannot be done, a sporty, luxurious vehicle using all electric power is possible.

As you probably notice those who are nay-sayers always say the same thing, fossil fuel is still the way to go, but Tesla proved it wrong. They proved it using current technology, now imagine what could be done with future technology?

What is another interesting is that you cannot do what this car can do with the same horsepower, 165Kw is only 220 horsepower. It has A/C and heater, automatic tranmission, power windows, seats, airbags. Everything a car should have.

Matagal ng patay si n. tesla. http://www.teslasociety.com/biography.htm

Kung meron lang mag-finance sakin, kaya ko rin mag-develope ng ganyang kotse....

Sa totoo lang para tayong kawawa rito... puro tayo comment, ala sige daldal... wala naman paki alam satin yang tesla.. wrightspeed etc.,

Meron na ngang production niyan, buti naman kung makabili tayo, di ba hindi din. Hindi natin kakayanin kasi masyadong mahal. Pangalawa, kung makabili man tayo, paano kapag nasira? paano yung parts?

Gumawa tayo ng sariling atin....

Kaya rin natin yung mga ginagawa nila.
