Tesla Model 3 (Page 19)

Elon Musk says lessons he learned from a previous $465 million Department of Energy loan is the reason why Tesla decided to forgo a 1.5 billion euros EU incentive for the Giga Berlin battery plant.

A new brand ranking by Consumer Reports shows that Tesla still has a long way to go in order to join the mainstream with regard to reliability. Here is how Tesla Models rank against their peers.

The world's first fully electric container ship has just been announced in Norway. It will cut 1,000 tonnes of CO2 and replace 40,000 trips by diesel-powered trucks a year; certainly, a very good hint for Tesla (green) shipping system.

The purchase of Tesla photovoltaic solar panels is the choice of many people who decide to generate their own energy, simply because this technology is the one that has the best results and benefits in home environments.

Tesla Megapack was chosen by UK companies Harmony Energy and Tag Energy to provide storage for two huge new facilities to be built in the UK: Chapel Farm and Jamesfield Farm.

Cathie Wood and her firm ARK Invest are famous for their optimistic Tesla prediction. And now, in a new 55 minutes long interview, Wood says Tesla has a chance of selling 20 million vehicles a year by 2025.

Volkswagen will be focusing on a key component within the EV industry equation, which is power infrastructure: charging stations throughout Europe, energy division enlargement and doubling staff numbers accordingly, in order to be able to compete with Tesla.

Imagine driving a Tesla Model 3 free, for six months. A freelance car dealer from the Rhineland made its customers an insane offer in the summer: They can drive a Tesla Model 3 for free for six months and then give it back. Now he starts the action again. However, there are a few conditions to be aware of.

Fast charging capability of energy storage devices is essential, for Tesla and other automakers, regarding vehicle and power grid applications. Faster charging and discharging, or higher energy density leading to more compact and lighter batteries - there is often a kind of 'balance' between the two. Not all cars or batteries are ready for this, which is why new materials are being sought all over the world.

As per Tesla's recent announcement that its Supercharger network has reached a new milestone of over 30,000 Superchargers at over 3,100 stations, news have also just arrived about the company already providing Starlink Wi Fi internet connectivity at Supercharger locations in some US cities.

The Swiss manufacturer Megasol has presented an update to its "Match" solar tile, its new solar cells disguised as tiles; an interesting and potentially good complement or alternative to Tesla Solar Roof.

On multiple occasions, Elon Musk has criticized the way Tesla's early story is told by the EV maker's previous CEO, Martin Eberhard. And now, looking to take the narrative into his own hands, Musk says he's considering doing a podcast that recounts the early days of Tesla.

As we discussed in many articles before, solar roofs for any Tesla model could be a very interesting option. Now they will be readily available as solar kits from EVSolar Kits (@EvSolarKits), as per their Indiegogo campaign: they claim their solar charging kits can end range anxiety by providing up to 150 miles of range over 2 days.

A new set of airless tires are being tested in Tesla Model 3 vehicles, this time from Goodyear. As we reported back in September, at the IAA Mobility Car Show in Munich, Germany, French brand Michelin had already presented its new airless tires, called "Uptis". Now Goodyear is testing this airless alternative for electric and autonomous vehicles.

A new study shows that green vehicles are among the most desired in the used car marketplace.

Tesla's stock price has gone down by 4.8% following Elon Musk's decision to sell 10% of Tesla shares. Musk made the decision after holding a Twitter poll.

Mazda, Jeep, and Tesla have upended what we call luxury, premium, and performance. It’s time for shoppers and the automotive media to take notice.

Actually, having a solar roof is an excellent idea for ANY electric vehicle (SUV, sedan, truck, Semi, etc.), as the technology basically allows to widely extend the range of the vehicles, and on the other hand, would permit to drive almost entirely by getting energy directly from the sun. Some automotive engineers believe solar power may be the solution to many other issues in that regard.

According to a new Giga Texas drone footage, Tesla has received 4680 production equipments at the construction site. The EV maker has transported the new equipment to the battery production section of Giga Texas.

As per the latest information available, Hertz says deliveries of Tesla cars into its rental fleet are already occurring, despite a tweet Monday night by Elon Musk that the automaker has not signed a contract with the company.

Only America would continue a confusing scheme after it had reached every one of its objectives.

As per the latest news available, and according to a Reuters source, China's Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd. and its unit GFL International Co Ltd have signed a contract to supply battery-grade lithium products to Tesla. Ganfeng, the world's top lithium company by market capitalization, has already supplied battery-grade lithium to EV producers including Tesla.

Tesla is recalling certain Model 3 and Model Y vehicles because of a suspension issue that may lead to a crash.

There are many different types of suspension components in modern cars, depending on which classification we take into account. As an example: linkages, springs, and shock absorbers. The linkages are the bars and brackets that support the wheels, springs and shock absorbers.

There were some more interesting news regarding the huge deal Tesla closed with Hertz, and Hertz with Uber, earlier this week, that involved 100 thousand Model 3 Teslas.

Hertz just announced today that it will be providing 50 thousand Tesla Model 3 units to Uber, in yet another surprising (somewhat) move that is shaking the ground for many driving platforms. It was a matter of time, as just by doing simple math the whole transaction absolutely makes sense from a TCOE point of view. And it is also a matter of time to see other similar companies following the same pathway.

Tesla’s order from Hertz will result in many minds being changed about EVs. It will also bring some new Tesla owners into the fold. Here’s how I know.

Tesla MIC ("Made In China") has just achieved amazing production numbers. It basically produced 25,864 Model Y units and 24,394 Model 3 units, totaling 50,258 cars in September 2021. That would basically mean more than 600K cars/year coming out of Giga Shanghai alone, another outstanding achievement for Tesla.

We spoke to Tesla and asked how much we needed to pay to take home a new Tesla Model 3 today. The answer was interesting for two reasons.

Tesla’s prices have been rising rapidly. We configured the least expensive Tesla Model 3 possible and then checked our work with Tesla’s help. Here is how to buy the cheapest new Model 3 Tesla sells today.
