Tesla China’s $25k car to be sold globally, confirms exec in state media interview

February 9, 2021

During a recent interview with Chinese state media outlet Xinhua Net, Tesla China President Tom Zhu discussed several aspects of the electric car maker’s operations and plans in the country. Among the most notable topics he discussed was the highly-anticipated $25,000 compact electric car, which will be designed in a dedicated R&D center in Gigafactory Shanghai and sold worldwide.

The Tesla China President noted that the construction of the R&D center is already underway. Considering the pace of Giga Shanghai’s construction in both its Phase 1 and Phase 2 areas, there is a pretty good chance that the facility would be completed in the near future. This site, Zhu remarked, will be the first Tesla R&D center in foreign soil.

“The center is in Tesla Gigafactory Shanghai, where we are now. We are now building our China R&D center right here. This R&D center is also the first Tesla R&D center outside the United States. The research and development center has all necessary disciplines, covering vehicle design, vehicle engineering, vehicle development, and vehicle testing,” Zhu said.

Interestingly enough, the executive also mentioned that Tesla China ultimately wishes to design, develop, and produce an original vehicle in the country that will be sold worldwide. Such a vehicle would likely make Tesla far more attainable to car buyers, on account of its more affordable $25,000 price. This would likely be an attainable goal considering the company’s efforts to localize its vehicle production by using components from domestic providers. (...)

Sorry voor de mogelijke Tesla mobilhome. lol

Best met uitklapbare dakpanelen waar zonnepanelen in verwerkt zijn. Ofzo...

Elon Musk says Tesla’s electric van could have solar panels

February 11, 2021

Tesla CEO Elon Musk gave some details about the prospective electric van that the company could develop in the coming years. In an interview with Joe Rogan on the comedian’s podcast, the Joe Rogan Experience, Musk indicated that a van’s design would be more favorable to equip solar panels for stationary charging.

During Tesla’s Q4 2020 Earnings Call, TBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak asked Musk about the possibility of developing an all-electric van. Vans have become a major player in the EV space since Rivian was contracted by e-commerce giant Amazon to build 100,000 electric delivery vans. The vans have recently started testing in Southern California. Ford also developed an electric version of its Transit van.

The prospect of Tesla developing an electric van was confirmed by Musk during the Earnings Call.

He said:

“I think Tesla is definitely going to make an electric van at some point.”

TESLA’S EV VAN WITH SOLAR PANELS

Equipping any of Tesla’s currently-offered vehicles with solar panels would raise the cost of the car exponentially while not giving enough value to drivers who would pay for the feature. The issue is, most passenger vehicles do not have the surface area, or are they driven in the correct climate to make the installation of solar panels an advantageous solution to add driving range. Some have tried this in the past with DIY projects, but it hasn’t resulted in much effectiveness to justify it as an option for Tesla.

However, Musk says that a van would be ideal for a solar panel system, considering its relatively flat roof and large surface area. These two issues are what make the design unfavorable for sleek, stylish sedans and SUVs that the company offers for passenger transport. A van, however, is boxy and would be effective for solar panels if they were to be outfitted onto a vehicle.

Musk said:

“Now, a van, because you have a big, flat area, that’s actually where solar could start to make a little more sense. You know, because you have a lot of area. You could also have, maybe, a roof where it is solar, and then, when it is stationary, [the roof] goes out and provides shade, and maybe triples your area or something like that. Now, you triple the area, and you have a big, flat surface, you could maybe start charging enough where you start getting like 30 miles a day.”

Rogan described Musk’s idea, indicating that the roof “going out” would look similar to an awning, which would make sense especially in the case that the van needed more surface area for the solar panels.

Of course, this idea is preliminary, as Tesla has not confirmed that it is developing an electric van for the market. However, it could be advantageous for several things, including commerce transportation and for use with the Boring Company’s several underground loops that are in development.

Musk’s full interview with Rogan is available here.

Jaguar wil vanaf 2025 enkel maar electrische wagens, t.t.z.:

https://electrek.co/2021/02/15/jagua...ver-to-follow/

Jaguar Land Rover announced today a new global strategy called “Reimagine,” and it involves a serious acceleration of the electrification of all its brands, including Jaguar going all-electric by 2025 and Land Rover following with mostly electric vehicles after that.
...

More concretely, it means that all new Jaguar vehicle will be all-electric by 2025, and by 2030, the British automaker expects 100% of the sales from the brand to be all-electric vehicles.

As for Land Rover, it will lag a bit behind the Jaguar brand, which already has an electrification lead with the I-Pace.

It will get its first all-electric vehicle in 2024, and by 2030, the company aims for 60% of all sales coming from all-electric vehicles.

Here are the highlights of Jaguar Land Rover’s new global strategy:

Mercedes gaat dit jaar toch geen EQCs maken voor de US-markt:
(en ze hadden het al 1 jaar uitgesteld)

https://electrek.co/2021/02/16/merce...ectric-suv-us/

Mercedes-Benz has decided not to launch the EQC all-electric SUV in the US after delaying its launch by over a year.

Delayed and now canceled US launch

Mercedes-Benz first planned to launch EQC electric SUV in the US in 2020 after starting deliveries in Europe in 2019.

The electric SUV was going to start at $69,000 in the US before incentives.

However, the German automaker later pushed the launch to 2021 as it focused on prioritizing deliveries in Europe, where regulations force automakers to have a higher mix of electric vehicles in their total sales.

Now the automaker has decided to cancel altogether, at least for now, the idea of launching the EQC all-electric SUV in the US.

A Mercedes-Benz representative told Autoblog:

Following a comprehensive review of market developments, the EQC will not be offered in the United States for now.

Michelin lanceert performante EV-band. Voor wat het waard is. Michelin Pilot Sport EV.
Ook bepaalde ICE kunnen van zulke banden profiteren.

https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-mich...tric-vehicles/

Michelin announced the launch of its Pilot Sport EV tire, which was specifically created and designed for high-performance electric cars. The Pilot Sport EV tire will probably be popular among Tesla owners who love to take their vehicles to the track.

According to Michelin, the Pilot Sport EVs feature optimal grip on both dry and wet roads, and they have great resistance to wear. The Pilot Sport EV tire’s robust design might be notable to owners who love the track, considering that high-performance electric cars like the Tesla Model 3 Performance tend to wear out their tires quickly if they are driven extremely hard.

The Pilot Sport EV tires are also optimized with low rolling resistance, enabling range improvements of up to 37 miles. Michelin did an internal study last year with an electric car weighing 2,151 kg (4,700 lbs) that resulted in the vehicle traveling 60 km further when it was equipped with the Pilot Sport EV tires.

Michelin noted that the Pilot Sport EVs are also designed to have 20% less road noise, thanks to some custom-developed polyurethane foam that muffles sounds. Road noise is a notable issue for EVs, which may be why companies like DSP Concepts work hard to bring noise cancellation technology into the cabin. Tesla’s Model S and Model X refresh were specifically listed with noise cancellation technologies when announced.

Michelin’s Pilot Sport EV tires will also be eco-friendly. The tire manufacturing company has pledged to neutralize the CO2 emissions associated with tire production and transport to its point of sale. Michelin’s efforts would make the EV-centric tires just as friendly to the environment as the high-performance electric vehicles they support.

The Pilot Sport EV tires are already available in China and are expected to be available in Europe and North America by Q3 2021. Customers can choose between 16 sizes for 18 to 22-inch rims.
