Tesla Model S has received 3000 orders

According to reports record third quarter to send the State Securities Commission USA (SEC) on 17/12, Tesla, EV manufacturer of sports cars has revealed 3000 people purchase of the Tesla Model S, each customer must deposit with the bank $ 5,000.

According to SEC reports, Model S rated 5 stars for safety, large luggage compartments than any other sedan and is designed to be able to swap batteries in about 5 minutes.


In the same report sent to the SEC Tesla also revealed:

1. Tesla received 1500 orders for lithium-ion batteries to Daimler for electric vehicles equipped with Smart ForTwo ED.
2. Tesla plans to sell 500 lithium-ion battery for Daimler to equip the Mercedes-Benz A-Class electric.
3. Since early this year, Daimler was Tesla's leading customer with cumulative sales of 12 million.
4. Tesla, are expected to be about 60 million in revenue from the production process of the core components of the old RAV4 sport utility vehicles coming from Toyota.
From the Tesla Roadster sports worth $ 109,000 to under $ 50,000 Model S


3 first-quarter revenue in 2010 only 68 million, with losses in 9 months 102 million. But the news on the recent production of the Tesla makes the company's share price up 3%.

Despite being a loss, but the U.S. Department of Energy visible breakthroughs in production technology of the Tesla EV car so he decided to finance $ 500 million to develop the S Model.
Experts assess the Tesla Roadster sports were worth $ 109,000 to $ 50,000 because their prices Tesla did not know how to organize production lines.


Daimler and Toyota each company to buy 10% stake, worth $ 50 million each share of Tesla. While supporting the organization of production Tesla Model S in line technology to reduce costs and support in exchange for the secret Tesla technology EVcho Daimler and Toyota vehicles.

After the $ 7,500 tax reduction, Tesla Model S will be priced at $ 50,000 for the battery pack base 256 km operating range. Model S is also available for customers to choose the battery pack 368 km and 480 km.

But only half the price compared to Model S Roadster, but there are advantages:


Capacity is 5 adults, 2 children and luggage. The scope of work while the Roadster is only 480 km 390 km by the Model S battery pack was assembled from the 8000 cell, cell 6000 Roadster. Charging time 4 hours if you use 220 Volt power. 45 minute quick charger with 440 volt power source.

Customers can buy a car with the battery pack is the basic scope of activities and employs 256 km battery pack can range as far as needed. Warranty 3-4 years and 7-10 years for car batteries. Replace the batteries only cost less than 5000 USD. Reach speeds of 96 km / h in 5.5 to 6 seconds. Musk said the next version of Model S will reach 96 km / h under 5 seconds. Tesla will work with charging stations for customers to replace the battery within 5-8 minutes.
It's god Tesla

Tesla Technology by Daimler and Toyota's most interested is the production of battery technology. GM and Nissan revealed to the media, the Volt is the battery capacitance 16 kWgio cost $ 12,800; pin capacitance of the Leaf is 24 kw-hours will cost $ 18,000. Volt's battery and calculate the cost 700-800 dollars Leaf / kWgio.

The trick is Tesla's battery life for laptop users to assemble a battery for automobiles.

Currently most of the laptop battery assembly by lithium-ion cell, due to large volumes, the production line was running at full capacity, the cost of equipment depreciation costs low, the cell's very cheap laptop.

EV batteries for vehicles assembled from this type of cell only costs U.S. $ 200 per kilowatt-hour. If Leaf battery cell was assembled using the laptop's price will be $ 4,800 instead of $ 18,000, price reduced $ 13,200.

6831 Tesla assembly cell lithium-ion batteries produced by Panasonic laptop battery as a condition for the Tesla Roadster sports car and 8000 for the S model cell. BMW has announced the current use of technologies such as Tesla's battery production. Volkswagen is testing this technology.

Known third quarter in 2011 Tesla can embark on Model S production, expected output would be 20,000 vehicles per year. The S model soon receive orders prove Tesla has won great trust from the public.
