Chapter 189: "Perpetual Motion Machine"
September 25, 2010 was a major day in the automotive industry. It has even been called a slap in the face by many media that will be written in the future, and it can be called a turning point.
The reason is simply because Tesla has launched a new car.
Tesla unveils a new electric car. The shape is as cool and beautiful as ever, attracting attention.
But this time, the most eye-catching thing is not the shape of Tesla's new car. If it's just good-looking on the outside, it's obviously not a so-called turning point.
It's the performance it performs.
It accelerates to 100 km/h in three seconds, and the maximum speed is 320km/h. What's more, it has a staggering 800km range.
Not to mention that the top speed of this car is quite powerful, it is completely no less than the average supercar on the market.
And the most important thing is that it has a range of an astonishing 800 kilometers.
Even the range of 400 kilometers is in the leading position in the electric vehicle industry, let alone 800 kilometers.
And Tesla can achieve such a range.
Apparently, Tesla has made a major breakthrough in batteries. This is the most important thing, in the past, there was the theoretical support of super batteries, appeared, but this time it can be regarded as the practical application of super batteries. The use of super batteries is obviously of extraordinary significance to the development of energy vehicles in the world.
Previously, Tesla's top-of-the-line 85kWModelS used nearly 7,000 Panasonic NCR186503100mah batteries, but the maximum endurance was only about 400 kilometers. And this time, it was directly doubled.
In other words, Tesla's battery theoretically has a storage capacity of 170kW. The weight of the 7,000 Panasonic NCR186503100mah batteries before the road reached 590 kg. And twice as much, that's more than a ton of weight. But none of Tesla's vehicles weighed more than a meal.
Moreover, according to the car data and materials released by Tesla, it can be clearly seen that the range of materials used in Tesla cars is wider, and it is no longer the deliberate pursuit of light-weight metal.
After Tesla's car was announced, the price was also announced, and there were no surprises, $98,000.
Although the price is a little higher than the previous $77,000, Tesla's new car is worthy of such a price. And Tesla at the time of the new product launch. Alan Musk, when he spoke, was full of confidence, and his evaluation of it was directly said that it was the greatest car product in the world, an epoch-making electric vehicle product, which will change the world.
Although Alan Musk said a lot of praise, not many people in the media in the United States disagreed with it the next day.
Tesla's order hotline has been bursting these days.
In just one week, the number of orders reached a staggering 2,000 units. It has almost reached Tesla's previous annual sales.
At the same time, Tesla is also stepping up negotiations with European and American countries to establish super charging stations. China has developed by leaps and bounds in recent years, and the number of local tyrants is also very large.
There are also many people's eyes on Tesla's super electric sports car.
It's just that Tesla has not yet launched a sales plan in China. So it is very difficult to buy this car in China.
In addition, the establishment of super charging stations also requires the consent of Huaxia ZF.
Therefore, the sales volume of Huaxia is very small, and only some people with connections and backgrounds have ordered one through imports.
It's just that such people are in the minority after all. It can be imagined that Huaxia contributed very little to the sales of these two thousand. And if the market in China can be completely opened, it is obvious that this sales will increase a lot.
As a qualified entrepreneur, Allen is of course aware of the potential of Huaxia, and of course he is unwilling to let go of such a huge market as Huaxia.
After the last, Alan thought of Su Yang.
After all, if you really say it, Su Yang accounts for the most shares of Tesla, in a sense, Tesla is actually Su Yang's, not his.
Su Yang, as the behind-the-scenes boss of Tesla, how could he not contribute at such a major moment in the company's development and expansion.
So Alan called Su Yang, and what he said did not beat around the bush in the slightest. After ending the call, Su Yang returned to the classroom.
"Teacher, I have some important things to do, and I want to ask you for a leave." Su Yang said.
Everyone looked at Su Yang in a daze.
Just now, Su Yang went out to answer the phone when he was in class, and the professor was already very face-saving without having a seizure, but now it's okay, Su Yang actually wants to ask for leave. What kind of fuss is this?
When everyone thought that the professor would be furious, they were surprised to find that the professor actually nodded with a very calm expression.
So I agreed. It's just that when he nodded, an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Su Yang's leave this time was not just for a class, but for a day.
After leaving Jingcheng University, Su Yang's second stop was to go to the Central Committee of Huaxia Power.
When Su Yang arrived at a specific intersection in the capital and got off the taxi, a red flag quickly appeared beside Su Yang.
Su Yang didn't say a word, just sat down, and everything was handed over to the drivers of the two cars. All the way to a heavily guarded place
Tesla's international popularity has been extremely hot during this time, and its stock price has also risen again and again, especially after the emergence of super batteries, the stock price has soared a lot.
From $21, it soared to $85 in seven days. In just seven days, the stock price has quadrupled. Tesla's market capitalization has also exceeded the $10 billion mark, reaching $10.47 billion.
With the support and support of the ZF department in the United States for this efficient surrounding industry, in the case of many policy green lights, super charging stations are under frantic construction on all continents in the United States.
With the establishment of Superchargers, Tesla's order book has soared a bit again.
At the same time, various environmental protection and energy-saving organizations congratulated Tesla on making such an efficient new energy vehicle.
And during this time, you will often see a certain star buying a Tesla, and such and such a star driving a Tesla on the road.
At this time, Tesla did not forget to add a fire.
I thought that even if the supercharger was really successful, it would not be possible to build too many.
So Tesla has adopted another way to reduce people's concerns about Tesla's energy replenishment problem.
Solar energy.
Tesla's roof features a whole new type of solar panel setup.
With sufficient sunlight off, it only takes 10 hours to charge the battery.
In other words, if somewhere, on a sunny day, this whole day is enough for Tesla to fully charge the power of the battery.
The endurance of 800 kilometers is absolutely enough for office workers.
Unless it rains twice a month in one place, and half a month at a time, otherwise, as long as there are two or three days of sunny weather in a month, the energy of this battery is absolutely enough.
This car, to a certain extent, can be used forever after you buy it. This has an indirect 'perpetual motion machine' feel to it
