  • DOPE front strut angle with sick bracing at 0:22. DOPE rear subframe-and-motor-and-drivetr­­ain-in-one assemblage at 3:59.

    That front strut angle is only possible with no gasoline engine in the compartment. All these sick go-cart like chassis qualities are only possible because of the lack of a bulky gasoline engine and the fact that batteries can be arranged in virtually any configuration, allowing them to occupy the undercarriage.

  • Just look at that sick angle of the front strut!!! And how those two struts are being welded dead together via a thick ass cross bracing, and that dope diagonal bracing! Talk about load transfer! Look at how the load of the shock would transfer to damn neatly to those bracings given the angle of the strut! DOPE!

    That alone is reason to buy this car! Not to mention that subframe-and-motor-and-drivetr­ain-in-one assemblage at the rear!! Plus torsional rigidity!

    This is my next DRUG!

  • This is everything I ever wanted in a car!

    High torsional rigidity for cornering, outrageously low center or gravity, centralized mass (battery occupies the center and the induction motor at the rear being as light as it could be), instantaneous torque, and that dope dead welded front strut bracing! This thing is a freaking go-cart with 200 HP!

  • Guy has a funny accent, not sure what accent that is

  • I'm so impressed with Tesla, their team of engineers, their innovative vision, and passion for the use of sustainable energy.... I'm adjusting my business product to fit in this car! Adjusting the design of my artwork into multiple panels to transport more easily in the Model S. So inspiring to see this technology come to reality in mass market! Yes!

  • ...I'm in love! Tesla's got it! 

  • It looks a little like the Maserati gran turismo

  • This guy speaks so deliberately and is obviously choosing his words carefully, it's clear he's not a sales person (yeah, I know, it says in the description). But he speaks with great enthusiasm, It's just great to hear from someone who actually worked on the car and not some sweet-talking salesman whom you know is just trying to sell you a car.

  • awsome car love it, wath music is playing in background? many thx =)

  • Beautiful car - in Australia the Mitsubishi iMiev has just been released for $48,000 - i don't think i can even imagine what this would be worth here.

  • THIS CAR IS AMAZING, IF I HAD THE AGE AND MONEY TO BUY THIS CAR I WOULD DUE IT. I WOULD A BE A PROUD AMERICAN MOTHER FUCKERS

  • Comment removed

  • It has both.

    This car is gorgeous. This particular alpha version is differs somewhat from the newer Alphas. The newer ones are more true to the prototype. Can't wait to get one!

  • why this tesla has breaking discs and not "electric breaking" to recharge the battery?? Or m i wrong?

  • @dogydoyo

    The car automatically regeneratively brakes when you lift off the accelerator. The disc brakes are for reliability.

  • @HaroldHoltCantSwim Its because the vehicle will not come to a complete stop using the regen braking. You pretty much use it at 5mph and under, or when hauling ass around a corner and need to slow the F down.

  • @johnbrowntesla

    No. It's because the vehicle can't dump the heat from regen braking the car quickly in an emergency. The batteries, being cheap laptop cells, can't handle 215kW being charged into them, and Tesla hasn't built a nice big inductor and radiator for dumping that energy into. Mechanical brakes a cheaper and they still work when the motor is fried.

  • My buddy helped worked on this car. Its awesome

  • incredible peace of work! maybe americans are starting to build decent automobiles again

  • Putting the power supply right next to the motor is a very good idea but I wonder about how changes in the temperature of the enviroment will affect the battery life.

  • @ecaepevolhturt The most expensive one has solar panels. So I suspect it would help battery life.

  • The Tesla Model S and Tesla Roadster is a Rechargeable Battery Vehicle. The Future should see Tesla Incorporate Self-Running On-Board Generating Technology which is a Self-Charging Electric Battery Vehicle. Self-Charging Electric Battery Vehicles do not need to be recharged because it recharges itself.

  • I thoroughly enjoyed this video and would love to see more as more information becomes available. Way to go Tesla keep up the great work.

  • nice editing job

  • @DarthNefatious

    thank You... it was a little difficult -- make a good movie without a great selection of material. If there is new stuff out in the web, You'll find new videos on this channel. Have a nice day and buy this car!

  • @MrTeslaLover what camera did you use for this video?

  • We need to stop drilling now. We are taking oil and pressure from underneath Earth. It causes land sinking and gravitational problems.
