Elon musk Plans for the coming decade is difficult to call modest. Among other things, the Tesla CEO promised to significantly increase production of vehicles to produce several completely new models and to conquer self-driving vehicle by 2020. Before you plan that will develop a Tesla in the next few years.
the
A Giant factory for battery production in Nevada is the key to the future of Tesla, because it is to help the company knock off the cost of the battery and other elements of electric vehicles by 30%.
The Gigafactory with an area of almost 2 million square metres will reduce the company's costs for the production of batteries, when fully operational in 2018, due to the "use of Economics of scale, innovative production, reducing the amount of waste and conventional optimization by meeting the majority of manufacturing processes under one roof."
Moreover, Tesla plans to build more fuel cells on the "Gigabit" than all the manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries together in 2013.
theThe Batteries created on the Gigafactory will allow Tesla to assemble their first mass-produced vehicle, the Model 3.
It will cost around $ 35,000 and pass more than 300 kilometers on a single charge.
Tesla started production of the Model 3 at the beginning of last month.
theIn July of 2016, Musk confirmed that Tesla is planning to launch a new compact SUV Model Y. Before it was known that the new model should be ready by the end of 2019 – beginning of 2020. He also said that the vehicle will be built on a platform other than the one that uses the Model 3.
theIn August, Musk said that the company is working on a semitrailer Tesla.
In June it became known that Tesla works with major freight companies to construct the first fully electric semi-trailer company.
"We will show a working prototype at the end of September, but we showed it to the people who buy heavy trucks, and they love it," said Musk. "They just want to know how much to pay and when."
While we almost certainly will see an electric semi-trailer for several months, it is unclear when he will be available to customers.
theIn April, Musk said that Tesla will show its trailer in September and the tractor through a year or two, that is somewhere between October 2018 and April 2019.
theTesla is already demonstrating the best mileage on the market, but Musk said that it plans to dramatically increase the range of Tesla car mileage on a single charge.
"Now the record is 800 kilometers for the Model S," said Musk in September 2015. "I suspect that we can overcome the threshold of 1,000 kilometres in a year or two. I think year by 2017".
Musk added that Tesla by 2020, most likely, will increase the mileage of their cars up to 1,300 kilometers on a single charge.
Although the record run for the Tesla is about 1,000 kilometers, the official mileage of the Tesla Model S P100D is about 500 kilometers on a single charge.
theAnother bold promise Mask about Tesla was that its cars will become Autonomous by 2020.
Tesla is beginning its upgrade Enhanced Autopilot in October. Then Musk said that this hardware will provide full autonomy to the transport when the software is ready.
However, Musk also noted that perhaps the regulators will prepare the laws in a time when self-driving cars will be ready, so drivers will have to wait a bit before you turn the steering wheel.
So far, the company plans to carry out a demonstration run on autopilot from Los Angeles to new York. Most likely, a completely independent company cars will be by 2019.
theTesla did a little more than 50,000 cars in 2015, but in may of 2016, Musk said that his company plans to manufacturer more than 500 000 units per year by 2018.
You understand, Tesla has collected a little more than 76 000 vehicles in 2016. Obviously, the company sets very aggressive targets.
"the Increased production five times over the next two years will be difficult and will likely require additional capital, but that is our goal and we will work hard to achieve it," wrote the company in a letter to investors.
theAs if producing half a million cars by 2018 was not enough. Musk wants to raise the bar and produce 1 million cars by 2020.
Why? The demand for Model 3 was higher than expected, so Tesla has revised their goals. The company has received 325 000 pre-orders for the Model 3 in the first week after the announcement.
Although this plan is very ambitious, Musk believes that Tesla may well cope with such aggressive growth.
theThe more cars Tesla appears on the roads, the wider the required infrastructure for charging.
When introduced the Model 3 in March of 2016, Musk said that the company planned to expand its network of Supercharging. Supercharger is a station where a Tesla can be recharged for 300 kilometers in just 30 minutes.
At the presentation of the Model 3, Musk said that Tesla wants to double the number of charging stations worldwide, from 3,600 to 7,000 by 2018. However, in April, Tesla has redefined its objectives: by the end of this year worldwide will have 10,000 stations. Consequently, the company is ahead of its schedule.
theMusk wants Tesla only produces electric cars — he also wants the company produced the energy to power the car.
In November, Tesla acquired SolarCity, a company producing solar cells. Musk has made it clear that he plans to make Tesla an independent energy company.
"it Is possible to obtain highly innovative company with an independent energy, which answers all questions on energy, from energy production to storage and transportation," said Musk to reporters at the conference in June 2016. "We are a company with independent energy," he added. "This is, in General, we need. To solve problems with the energy supply, to its production, storage and electric vehicles."
In October, just before shareholders voted for the acquisition of SolarCity, Musk has revealed Tesla Solar Roof. "Solar roof" consists of solar shingles, and represents a solution for the production of energy for Tesla.
The Company started to accept orders for Solar Roof in may. The cost was 60 dollars per square meter.
theIn July of 2016, Musk said that Tesla is working on a mobile service. When the transport company will be fully Autonomous, the company will create a program for owners of cars, which will allow other people to use them and earn money.
"You can also add your vehicle in the total fleet of Tesla by pressing the button on the phone app the Tesla and allowing him to earn, while you are at work or on vacation," he said.
