  • Model S Vs Taycan (Tesla Vs Porsche) Drag Race

    Tesla No longer the Only Electrical Vehicle brand in the world.

    Truth to be told, whenever the Tesla Model S Drag Race Vs Porsche Taycan debate is considered, Porsche has had its flag dug on as the winner. In fact, in all the 5 drag races by Top Gear, Porsche has successfully flaunted its performance each time with a tiny however increased margin with every succeeding race.

    For the Taycan Turbo S, the foremost figures recorded were:

    0-60:                          2.61

    0-100:                        6.12

    ¼ mile:                       10.69s @ 131.6mph

    For the Tesla Model S, the top figures recorded were:

    0-60:                          2.83

    0-100:                        6.64

    ¼ mile:                       11.23s @ 123.2mph

    The above figures are as per the TV show Top Gear.

    Obviously, we cannot expect Elon Musk to sit hand on hand when it comes to his electric cars! He further took this video issue in his hands as the video clearly shows Porsche Taycan Turbo S beat Tesla Model S. Further it came into picture that Top Gear hadn’t turned on the “Ludicrous Plus” feature of Tesla Model S. This feature enables the car to achieve the fastest acceleration possible.

    As per Tesla, the performance trim of Model S can accelerate from 0–60 mph in just 2.4 secs and that the top speed of it is 163 mph. Musk further commented that the Top Gear show should rather be called as Low Gear!

    Last Words

    So when the Model S Vs Taycan drag race debate is considered, Tesla is very confident about its Model S. On the other hand, Porsche won’t take a step back when it comes to enter into competition with Tesla. However, some third party making any kind of false comments on both these competitors’ electric vehicles and damaging their images is just not fair to the competition itself! What do you think? Do let us know your views on the same in the below comments.

  • Tesla no longer the only EV brand in the market

    The electric car industry was definitely jumpstarted by Tesla and it can still claim to be the biggest car manufacturer of electric cars currently in the world. However, it can be said without any question that the grip that this company had over the electric car business has certainly loosened while the demand for the vehicles is growing. In 2020, Tesla had represented almost 80% of all the registrations of EV but the figure has dropped in the US to close to 65% as per the statistics. Among the biggest reason behind this drop has been the focus it has placed on the luxury vehicles and it is now facing a major competition from the affordable vehicles which have been appealing to the masses. As of now, there are as many as 68 electric vehicle models available in the United States but it is expected that there are 62 more which are going to be in the market sooner rather than later.

    There are estimates which say that come 2025, just 20% the market will only be available to Tesla. In the month of May, Ford had started shipping the F-150 Lightning which is the electric version of the best selling pickup truck of the country. GM has also been on its way to ramp the electric hummer.

    The electric vehicle scenario has been changing ever since the pandemic and there are many global leaders which have begun to jump on the bandwagon and the traditional automakers are now jumping ship to the electric vehicle which they think is going to lead the market in the coming years. Governments have also been pitching to grow the markets and target the consumers who can afford the electric vehicles at a larger scale. The growth is going to create a scenario where Tesla will end up losing its market share.

  • Tesla Model Y sales set record in Norway

    Norway has come up to be the biggest electric vehicle market in Europe and Tesla has declared a major achievement in the country. The yearly sales of Tesla Model Y has exceeded all the other sales of the vehicles as it sold 3738 Model Y in the country.

    The year has still not ended and Tesla has already sold enough cars of the Model Y to break the record of the previous annual sales which was set by Volkswagen Beetle in the year 1969. The automobile company has been seeing lesser sales in the other countries though apart from Norway. The dominant position of the company in the international markets is now a lot more futile than it ever was with Elon Musk apparently busy with his twitter obsession. The customers have been treated with many discounts in the locations where the EV manufacturer has been losing its base and the stocks were piling up. Tesla has also been telling its staff that there might be some hiring freeze or layoffs in the coming year and therefore this problem is going to go beyond sales. This is going to be concerning because Tesla is facing difficulty in ramping its production up at the Berlin and Giga Texas plants.

    There is a new production line for the Cybertruck which is being constructed in the city of Austin by Tesla which is now also producing Semis. There is a realistic chance that it is going to do so without adding anymore people but without them Tesla is going to not be able to implement all the modifications which it has planned.

    Tesla shares have been at their worst in the last year and it is time for them to figure something out but Norway does become a shot in their arm now.

  • Tesla to enter into many other locations in the coming year.

    Tesla and its founder Elon Musk are about to keep their promise of revealing the locations they are going to enter before the end of this year.

    There are many countries where the governments have been encouraged to court Tesla. Countries like Canada, South Korea, Indonesia and a few others have been giving incentive for becoming the new land of Tesla.

    This is a company which already has four assembling factories across USA, Germany and China.

    The factories in USA are currently serving the markets of North America and have a combined capacity of producing 900,000 vehicles every year as per Tesla. They are going to produce all models of these vehicles sold by the company including its Model Y, Model 3, Model S and Model X.

    The rumors have been rife about the company entering the space in Mexico among other countries. As of now, In Shanghai, Tesla is producing the vehicles it is selling in Asia and also in Europe. However, ever since, Tesla has opened its plant in Germany in the month of March, Europe could be served by the German site. Shanghai has a capacity of over 750,000 and Germany is also going to have a high capacity

  • Elon Musk makes a cheeky comment on Biden’s tweet

    Elon Musk who is the founder of Tesla and is a new owner of the micro blogging website Twitter has been in the news in the recent past for different reasons.  Recently, Musk made a comment on the tweet of the President of United States, Joe Biden and asked him to buy an electric car from his company Tesla. United State’s President had recently reveled the plans of building 5 lakh electric vehicle charging stations all across the United States and announced a release of the funding for a nationwide charging network for the Electric Networks. This is going to help in financing the construction of charging stations across 35 different states and will significantly improve the charging infrastructure of the country.

    Following the post on social media site, Twitter, Musk and Biden then had a conversation on Twitter. The tongue in cheek comments were followed by people all over the world and created quite the buzz all over.

Musk was quick to address that Tesla had been contributing to as many as 50,000 jobs in United States for building electric vehicles and is investing over double of what the other two companies that Biden mentioned are investing.

  • Tesla: Capacity Of Lithium-Ion Batteries To Expand

    Tesla launching its cars in Thailand

    Tesla is in plans to make the biggest-in-the-world lithium-ion battery. The company is looking to increase the capacity at its Hornsdale site located in South Australia. This is going to increase the capacity to 150 megawatts which is a 50% expansion, as per Tesla.

    This is according to an announcement form Neoen SA, which is a French company and is operating the site. The storage site in the first year of operation has already been able to save the consumers over $34 million.

    Since its installation in 2017, the battery helped in stabilizing the grid and avoiding outages. It also helped in to lower costs by the offset of intermittency in power generation which is renewable. This has helped in blazing a trail for its other plants all across the world.

    Tesla: Hornsdale site

    The utility-scale batteries which can be affordable have often been seen as the link. This link is the one which was missing for making wind and solar power as realistic competitors of fossil fuels.

    The green sources can be less expensive; however, they are not as reliable as the fuels traditionally. This makes the energy which is carbon-intensive tough to jettison, which is necessary for avoiding the impacts of changing climate.

    Meanwhile, the storage industry has been increasingly important in many places such as South Australia. These places have lesser access to the sources of fossil-fuels like natural gas and coal.

    Although Tesla’s outback battery is providing important insights into the contributions, it was never intended for curing all the state’s problems. Potentially, the storage systems can offer these contributions. This can be an important contributor to the fight against carbon emissions.
