Does anybody remember what the range and power of first generation automobiles was? It was racing leagues that helped advance car technology in performance and safety. There needs to be an all Electric counterpart to NASCAR and the technology will be advanced through necessity. Am i the only one that sees this?
This would be mine if i could afford it. I'll take the 2012 electric ford focus. I only need like 40 miles on a charge, and thats on a heavy driving day. I want an electric car that can recharge in 5 minutes!!
@Saebeck32 Just change the battery over, you can quick swap it in 3 minutes apparently.
And the 85 kwh battery costs just under $12 to fully recharge at 14 cents a kilo-watt hour (my off peak rate) and just under double that at peak rates, so it's still far cheaper.
@DrMattyKay Oil is gonna run out eventually though... Electric car batteries are becoming smaller and more efficient and more parts of them can be recycled. When they become completely recyclable, they will be a lot greener... and when the electricty comes from renewable sources. They are getting better, but there's still room for improvement in EVs.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Tesla got a half billion dollar taxpayer loan guarantee so they can make $50K-$100K EVs for the 1 percenters? The Tesla investors get their money back from the U.S. taxpayers if the company fails. If they fail then all these Cali trust-funder fancy lads in this video don't lose a dime? America needs a $15K electric car, not this.
@zachem66 The same way Nissan and Mitsubishi are doing it. They didn't start out with a $50K-$100K car. They started with a $30K-$35K car. I'm an EV owner. I didn't pay anywhere near $50K.
@Alvord1430 thats because nissan and mitsubishi are both companies that have been around for 100+ years and make hundreds of billions in revenue every year. tesla is a start up thats just 7 years old and the founders started the company with only 10s of millions. how can they afford billions of dollars to set up the manufacturing facilities and get upto par with nissan so quickly? they have no choice but to sell higher cost cars to make money first to make large quantities of a cheaper car.
@Alvord1430 if it looks like an ordinary electric car, how would that create enough money to fund for new ones? If they don't have enough money to research and develop a cheap EVs how do you expect them to actually run a business? Actually think about it for once.
DO THE CRITICS OF TESLA MOTORS ENJOY CHOKING ON PULLUTION FROM COMBUSTION ENGINE EXHAUST? IMAGINE A FUTURE, WHERE, THE CITY SMELLS LIKE THE COUNTRY. COME ON! WE CAN HAVE NICE THINGS.
@dx398 You are right. Tesla needs to focus on building a reasonably priced car for the masses or they will get their clock cleaned by Nissan and Mitsubishi who already have cheaper EVs. Normally, I wouldn't care, except Tesla has a Solyndra type taxpayer loan guarantee. Tesla investors aren't risking anything. The U.S. taxpayers are.
@Alvord1430: " Tesla needs to focus on building a reasonably priced car for the masses or they will get their clock cleaned by Nissan and Mitsubishi."
The thing is though. Maybe Tesla just wants to build the better car and not necessarily the best selling one.
With a 480 kilometre range, the model s is good enough for my day to day drive. However i agree with thecashhistrash, I'm going to wait for the second generation before i consider buying the model s because of the possibility of reliability issues
I see tesla much like apple. They don't make cars that people want they make cars that people are going to want, there's the difference. You don't copy whats around now and try to better it, you make something no one else is doing and create desire for it.
@eldictator1 with a 300 mile range it makes it a practical everyday car with no range anxiety even for weekend trips. The question now is it going to be reliable? I would buy one of these cars but I gonna wait for second generation.
@eldictator1 I think there has been a desire for these cars for a long time. The industry is the one that got left behind because you had Lutz running the show.
See, I think that analogy is invalid, because I don't think Apple makes the products that anybody wants. I think they buy out the good ideas and roll over smaller innovative companies. I mean do you really think Apple came up with the idea behind the ipod?
@eldictator1 you're a ignorant piece of horseshit. Its a car than can go around 500km on electricity instead of oil. Its a car with elegance, without sound. Mabye it doesnt have that 67' style but its a viecle to get from a to b with elegance and you can do it with a good conscience.
Why would anybody want to siphon away loads of cash for Crapple i7 laptop at $2500, when they can virtually attain the same hardware configuration for $1000-1500 as a PC? Because its pretty looking?

With the profits of the Model S, they plan to produce a third model codenamed "BlueStar" with technology from the Model S and Roadster. The best part is that it'll only cost between $20,000 and $30,000.
Tesla Motors, announced that his electric car company "will build a high-performance version of the Model S that will go zero to 60 (mph) in 4.5 seconds. That's faster than a Porsche 911 Carrera."
I saw one pic on their site where the grill was more like an Aston Martin. Too bad they didn't keep it. It's still in their gallery pics for the Model S. Is it an option?
@Warpath2198 Cars started out the same way in the early 1900s toys that only the rich could afford, so your argument is pointless, its the nature of economics due to cost of production, the good news is the rich will buy them and it will trickle down to mainstream population sooner than you think! I'm guessing anyone criticizing this progress are oil company employees or shareholders LOL don't think you guys need to worry yet
the only challenge facing electric cars is the oil industry, we would have 1k mile range electric vehicles 30yrs ago using capacitors if the oil biz didnt flood the market with pollution
@Giggidygiggidy12 Really? Where is it? All I see is cars with 30k+ price tags with laptop batteries slapped inside of them. Oil is still the best and cheapest portable fuel source on the planet.
the only retarded design though about this car is the touch screen dash. WE DONT WANT ANYMORE TOUCHSCREEN CRAP. it's to Californian for it's design. We want something mechanical that has feel. KNOBS.etc. Also that touchscreen drains the battery more.
@tehatemachine Don't try to speak for everyone, speak for yourself. I want the touchscreen, as do millions of other people, you are the first compliant I have heard over the huge 17inch touch screen. So again, speak for yourself and don't try to act like you are the voice for all the consumers....
what the electric car actually needs inorder to set it free, Is a battery that can be instantly recharged and doesn't loose it's power over time. WORK ON IT ENGINEERS, oh wait they already are, some are trying to use 3 dimensional cells.
I don't want any other car in the world besides this one, we've all been waiting far too long for the car of the future and it's going to be here next year

@TheOneNo20 sadly you are mistaken, hydrogen is too expensive, extremely flammable (more so than gasoline). It is also difficult to mass produce hydrogen
@patdfig5 Perhaps you should look at the UK governments official websites. The UK is investing heavily in hydrogen as BEV's have a poor public perception over here. We already have hydrogen buses running in London, have opened up the first public hydrogen filing station & have indigieonous companies designing & producing their own HFC's. The idea that hydrogen will somehow create an explosion is simply wrong. Hydrogen as used in HFC's is stored as a gas & is perfectly safe.
Well if the morons at Tesla can stop gloating in stupidly and build an affordable electric car for the rest of us, would be great. Instead yet again another greedy american company that will open the door for china and japan to meet consumer demands.
Awesome car, However the editor needs to learn how to color correct plus some of the cuts were horrible. Now back to the car. Once the first version comes out and they work all the little bugs that are bound to be in a car like this. I'll pick up Model S 2.0...

@BumbleBeeGS Watch closely, and you will see ;) Stil I don't mind smart knock offs. Finally I admire Teslas technology, and dedication to tech-design purity (they stated clearly they will never go for hybrid and I respect that). The car looks handsome, no doubt. But it is "higly inspired" by Maserati/Aston (front) and Jag (rear)
@AudX Yeah im definitely getting one if i ever have the money. Bought a lottery ticket tuesday and the drawing is tonight for 105 million. first thing id do is call up tesla :)
@tnguyen318 They have at least a 10 year warranty if i remember correctly. They're also looking into capacitors to hold energy as well. They're more efficient.
I think Warranty is for if the battery fails. Other than that it will begin to deplete the moment it leaves the Factory. Modern Alkaline Batteries have an expiration date if you look on the back of the packaging. Ask your dealership before buying a pure battery powered vehicle. What are capacitors?
@heartlessvietboy Assuming you had 10 fully charged 300 mile range batteries the same way i'd assume you have enough money for all the gasoline youd use in a traditional car, then yes. Its liquid cooled as opposed to alot of other electric engines which are air cooled. The engine creates a rotating force by a change in polarity. There are no parts that touch each other which means no wear.
@heartlessvietboy Tesla's yes. They make their own electric motors. If you're insinuating that an electric engine does not generate heat and would not need cooling then you're wrong. Have you ever attached speaker wire to a 12v car battery? I do this to temporarily make my screw drivers magnetic if they aren't already. But if you leave the speaker wire on there long enough, then you will melt the insulation because the amperage is heating the wire.
My Father's DeWalt Nickel Metal Power Drill seems to be doing pretty well. He's been owning it for a long time. From what I'm seeing power level still works like new however I don't know how fast it depletes compared to the first usage.
Very nice Car, cant wait till its in production :D regarding the dash with touch screen and keeping eyes on the road, i think you will get used to the locations of the buttons and wont have to look, i change stations and volume on my current audio setup without looking to see or feeling for the buttons. Seems cool to me.
I'm definitely getting one. With the $7,500 Electric Vehicle credit and not having to pay for gas, the difference from a $35K car will be made up in just one year!
Thank you for the information my friend but the world is not ready yet Services Need a long time and the battery you need to develop and door handles do not like and I hope that the body of the car from solar panels on my own for you Reading Holy Quran
@rashedm001 You bring your fairy tale quran book into the equation? alah does not exist. Look at fossilized evidence that proves Evolution and not a homophobic, free speech hating and sexist cult piece of shit!
You know, I'm all for "green"...really I am...but here's yet another example of technology which will only be available to a smaller market that could afford a sedan for over $50,000 before taxes and financing. Going green is about making life easier a more affordable. I only wish Tesla success if they make cars within a price range that people can afford. They have 2 models...this one and another that starts at over $100,000...they are obviously not talking to the majority.
@Devils1stBorn There are rumors of them planning for a cheaper car in the future. Technology just needs to be developed more so prices can come down. Like the first CD burner ever available to public cost in the thousands. now you can buy a cheap DVD burner for about 20 bucks. Just wait and im sure prices will fall down.
@Devils1stBorn They've halved the price of their first model (less than half if you count federal and state incentives), and increased its efficiency by something like 40%. I'd say they are on the right track. They have 4 more models based upon this platform planned for the near future. Tesla has a great opportunity to reinvent the American auto industry. I'd buy one of these. No doubt.
@Devils1stBorn Yes. But this is going to change. Batteries will become exponentially cheaper and lighter over time. It's a great step forward. People of the world should be happy that there is someone doing something different and exciting.
@voxveho I agree with you, they are a bit expensive but without a doubt, it would be a kick-ass ride! It's a shame GM and Chrysler won't build a pure electric.. And the Volt doesn't qualify, it still uses gas to reach 300 miles..
Battery electric vehicles face several challenges. The main problem right now is power loss of current Battery Technology. Batteries lose power over-time thus rendering the vehicle useless. Second is how environmental they are. Lithium is a Chemical-Metal Battery that can contaminate soil. However, there's still great hope for the Future of Electric Vehicles. Researchers right now are experimenting on an Ultra-Capacitor Type Generator that could possibly be the fuel source of the future.
@heartlessvietboy For these cars to even compete and become mainstream, they are going to have to be efficient and affordable. Until then, they will be nothing more than morale high ground toys for the rich.
Affordable and Practical doesn't mean they can become mainstream. The ignorance I here. Lets get with reality. If we want electric cars out there, we have to sell them. And you sell them by making them, not by speaking about them for the past 20 years.
Tesla could become the ford of the 21st century if this does well. When he said firmware updates, you know Tesla is going in the right direction. When we can update our cars...that's the future.
Yes, it look's like Aston at the back, and front is not exacly following the back lines, because it' slim, and too round... Despite all that it's beautifull, and I like this progress, and all you guys here let's give them a little credit OK.
I wish there is some companies in EU to bild cars like this.
Go Tesla - let's wish them luck to find better bateries, and we are ON :)
Can u imagine a tesla car with a Witts quantum field generator as its power supply to replace the 6k + batteries, ud never need recharging again!!!!! if i win the lottery id definently ask the fellas at Witts to install on into one of these beautys.
This company is American, correct? Silicon-valley based? I am really looking forward to this company, I hope it goes far. The other American car companies could learn a lot from the clean energy focus.
okay youtubers you are so dumb for real let me make it up straight ford electric focus without electricity nissan leaf without a tree volt without voltage those are mini battery powered cars but when you come to tesla its lighting on a tesla tower killa so you can run and tell that homeboy
whoever disliked this is stupid, this car looks great and will be safe. Just hope you guys make that battery pack strong because I've bottomed out in small cars before.
So why should we start building electric cars? Because, latest report I've heard indicates there is enough lithium to produce 4 BILLION electric cars. Take that, oilcompanies.
@SuperKenny720 Good point, but I'd think over time it would be used up fast. Cause it's used in batterys and phones. Bolivia is going to become the next saudi arabia off this shit. So in those aspects it's no diffrent than oil.
@SuperKenny720 yeah but it's a good start. And the fact that you can recycle these batteries over and over again ensure that it will be much easier to monitor the world consumption if you compare to oil where the price is almost 100 $ per barrel now. Glad to hear you support clean energy :)
great tesla is coming up hey guys also i think tesla should hire ted willams( the homeless with golden voice) as their voice for presentations whos with me? !!!

Well if the morons at Tesla can stop gloating in stupidly and build an affordable electric car for the rest of us, would be great. Instead yet again another greedy american company that will open the door for china and japan to meet consumer demands.

They were a starter company and chose to go luxury to gain attention and credability.
They're making a low cost version in the next two years. It's after the model S has been out a while.

Awesome car, However the editor needs to learn how to color correct plus some of the cuts were horrible. Now back to the car. Once the first version comes out and they work all the little bugs that are bound to be in a car like this. I'll pick up Model S 2.0...

@BumbleBeeGS Watch closely, and you will see ;) Stil I don't mind smart knock offs. Finally I admire Teslas technology, and dedication to tech-design purity (they stated clearly they will never go for hybrid and I respect that). The car looks handsome, no doubt. But it is "higly inspired" by Maserati/Aston (front) and Jag (rear)

Same here. But my concern is the Battery Life. Batteries tend to lose power in 5 years.
tnguyen318 7 months ago
@tnguyen318 They have at least a 10 year warranty if i remember correctly. They're also looking into capacitors to hold energy as well. They're more efficient.
BumbleBeeGS 7 months ago
I think Warranty is for if the battery fails. Other than that it will begin to deplete the moment it leaves the Factory. Modern Alkaline Batteries have an expiration date if you look on the back of the packaging. Ask your dealership before buying a pure battery powered vehicle. What are capacitors?
tnguyen318 7 months ago
10 Year Warranty is Awesome. What about the electric motor? Can you go 3,000 miles non-stop?
heartlessvietboy 6 months ago
@heartlessvietboy Assuming you had 10 fully charged 300 mile range batteries the same way i'd assume you have enough money for all the gasoline youd use in a traditional car, then yes. Its liquid cooled as opposed to alot of other electric engines which are air cooled. The engine creates a rotating force by a change in polarity. There are no parts that touch each other which means no wear.
BumbleBeeGS 6 months ago
Electric (Magnetic) motors are liquid cooled?
heartlessvietboy 6 months ago
@heartlessvietboy Tesla's yes. They make their own electric motors. If you're insinuating that an electric engine does not generate heat and would not need cooling then you're wrong. Have you ever attached speaker wire to a 12v car battery? I do this to temporarily make my screw drivers magnetic if they aren't already. But if you leave the speaker wire on there long enough, then you will melt the insulation because the amperage is heating the wire.

Very nice Car, cant wait till its in production :D regarding the dash with touch screen and keeping eyes on the road, i think you will get used to the locations of the buttons and wont have to look, i change stations and volume on my current audio setup without looking to see or feeling for the buttons. Seems cool to me.

The practicality of having knobs on the dash, to help you keep your eyes on the road cannot be replaced with a touch screen.

->I love the 3 seat bench in the back. Its what you can do when you don't have an Exhaust pipe tunnel.
->300 miles sounds good. But couldn't help noticing him say the UPTO. But the battery pack is replaceable, so we can always upgrade.
->$50 Grand is about right as well

You know, I'm all for "green"...really I am...but here's yet another example of technology which will only be available to a smaller market that could afford a sedan for over $50,000 before taxes and financing. Going green is about making life easier a more affordable. I only wish Tesla success if they make cars within a price range that people can afford. They have 2 models...this one and another that starts at over $100,000...they are obviously not talking to the majority.
Devils1stBorn 9 months ago
@Devils1stBorn There are rumors of them planning for a cheaper car in the future. Technology just needs to be developed more so prices can come down. Like the first CD burner ever available to public cost in the thousands. now you can buy a cheap DVD burner for about 20 bucks. Just wait and im sure prices will fall down.

blackbelt1123 9 months ago
@Devils1stBorn They've halved the price of their first model (less than half if you count federal and state incentives), and increased its efficiency by something like 40%. I'd say they are on the right track. They have 4 more models based upon this platform planned for the near future. Tesla has a great opportunity to reinvent the American auto industry. I'd buy one of these. No doubt.

@Devils1stBorn Yes. But this is going to change. Batteries will become exponentially cheaper and lighter over time. It's a great step forward. People of the world should be happy that there is someone doing something different and exciting.

@voxveho I agree with you, they are a bit expensive but without a doubt, it would be a kick-ass ride! It's a shame GM and Chrysler won't build a pure electric.. And the Volt doesn't qualify, it still uses gas to reach 300 miles..

Battery electric vehicles face several challenges. The main problem right now is power loss of current Battery Technology. Batteries lose power over-time thus rendering the vehicle useless. Second is how environmental they are. Lithium is a Chemical-Metal Battery that can contaminate soil. However, there's still great hope for the Future of Electric Vehicles. Researchers right now are experimenting on an Ultra-Capacitor Type Generator that could possibly be the fuel source of the future.

@heartlessvietboy For these cars to even compete and become mainstream, they are going to have to be efficient and affordable. Until then, they will be nothing more than morale high ground toys for the rich.
Warpath2198 4 months ago
Affordable and Practical doesn't mean they can become mainstream. The ignorance I here. Lets get with reality. If we want electric cars out there, we have to sell them. And you sell them by making them, not by speaking about them for the past 20 years.

Love the touches on door handels, the Tesla sign on the side, pleeenty of boot space. This is changing the game.
Central console is I think a little bit dangerous, because it takes too much time touch the commands, and it's easy to make a mistake while driving.
Just like Iphone, it's impossible to text while driving.

@SuperKenny720 Good point, but I'd think over time it would be used up fast. Cause it's used in batterys and phones. Bolivia is going to become the next saudi arabia off this shit. So in those aspects it's no diffrent than oil.
I do support cleaner energy though.
SuperKenny720 11 months ago
@SuperKenny720 yeah but it's a good start. And the fact that you can recycle these batteries over and over again ensure that it will be much easier to monitor the world consumption if you compare to oil where the price is almost 100 $ per barrel now. Glad to hear you support clean energy :)
