Background: My career is to run a regional transport company called spacex, but as far as I am concerned, I am the chairman of Tesla Motors, able to work with Martin to develop business and product approaches, and relax in the team.
I was also a key source of funding for Tesla Motors, which had only three male and female employees at the time, and a business enterprise was preparing.
As you know, Tesla's original product could be a large overall performance electric sports event car called Tesla sports car.
Nevertheless, some viewers may not know that our long-term preparation has proved to be the development of various models, such as relatives and vehicles with reasonable prices.
This is mainly because of Tesla's overall goal (
Plus the reason I funded the company)
Is to help speed up the operation from the mineand-
Burning the hydrocarbon economic climate in the direction of the solar power economy, which I think is the main but not the only sustainable answer.
The key to producing this product is undoubtedly an uncompromising electric vehicle, which is why Tesla Sports cars are designed to beat petrol sports cars like Porsche or Ferrari in a face-to-face showdown.
Then, through this fact, it is twice as efficient in intensity as Prius.
Still, some people may ask whether this is really any good for the world or not.
Do we really need extra high performance sports cars?
Will it really distinguish between international carbon emissions?
In fact, the answer is not very big.
Even so, it misses the stage until you understand the magic formula above to grasp the plan.
Almost any new knowledge
How to have a lot of unit costs before optimization, which is equally true for electric vehicles.
Tesla's strategy should be to enter from the industry as a whole, no matter where potential customers are prepared to pay a premium and then move as fast as possible along the current market, increase unit volume and reduce interest rates with each continuous device.
There is not much to offer, I can say that the second mannequin will be a four-door spouse and children's car for a movement for about $50, the cost level of the Tesla sports car and the 3rd mannequin may be higher and more affordable.
For companies with fast-growing technology business, all hard cash flows without costs are put into research and development to drive price drops and bring goods to market as quickly as possible.
When another person buys a Tesla sports car, they can really help pay for the development of the lowest value home car.
Now I want to correct two repeated arguments against electric vehicles.
Battery handling and power plant emissions.
The response to the first question is short and basic, 2nd requires math: batteries that may not be toxic to the natural environment!
I wouldn't recommend them for dessert, but Tesla Motors lithium-
Ion batteries are not classified as dangerous, so landfill is safe.
However, throwing them in the trash can throws the money aside because the battery pack may be sold to the recycling company (unsubsidized)
At the end of it increased by more than 100-
Design of daily life.
In addition, at that stage, the battery is not dead, but there are fewer varieties.
Capacity factory emissions are also known as "long tail pipes "(
For a more thorough version of this argument, see the white report published by Martin and Mark. )
An extensive rebuttal of electric vehicles as a carbon emissions option is that they clearly switch CO2 emissions to your power plant.
The obvious opposite is the fact that a person can cultivate grid power from various indications, many of which are hydropower, wind, geothermal, nuclear, photovoltaic and many others.
Carbon dioxide emissions are not involved.
However, permit assumes that electricity is generated from hydrocarbon resources such as organic gases, the most common fuel for new energy crops in the United States in recent years. The H-
The standard electrical Program combination conventional generator has been 60% successful in converting natural gas into electricity.
The "joint procedure" is exactly where normal gas burns to generate electricity, and then uses the exhausted heat to create steam that supplies power to the second generator. All-
Natural gas recovered to 97.
Five % is successful and 97 can be handled.
After five % of the environment is friendly, its transmission efficiency above the power grid is regularly 92%.
This provides us withto-electric-
Export efficiency 97. 5% x 97.
Five % x 60% x 92% = 52. five%.
Although the Tesla sports car's system form, tires and gears are designed to replace the high functionality of peak efficiency, it requires 0.
4 megajoules per kilometer, or, again, a way to travel twice. 53 km per mega-
Electric joules.
The total conventional cost and discharge efficiency of the Tesla sports car is 86%, which means that for every 100 megajoules of electricity consumed by the battery, about 86 megajoules can reach the engine.
By combining mathematics, we get the last advantage of 2.
53 km/MJ x 86% x 52. five% = one. 14 km/MJ.
Permit has reviewed Prius and several other options that are generally considered valid.
Completely considered very good. to-
The wheel efficiency of gasoline-powered vehicles is equal to the electric content of gasoline (34.
A few megabytes of Joules/liters)
Minus the loss of refinement and transportation (18. several%)
, Multiplied by the number of miles per gallon or kilometer per liter.
The Prius rated power of EPA is 55 mpg, so the strength efficiency is 0. 56 km/MJ.
Compared to having a "normal" car or truck like Toyota Camry, it is really a great breed. 28 km/MJ.
Please note that hybrid cars currently used on the street are often misworded.
These are actually just gasoline-powered cars with a small amount of battery help, unless, of course, you're a handful of people with after-sales hacks, and small batteries have to be charged from the gasoline engine.
As a result, they are generally considered just slightly more efficient gasoline-powered cars.
If the EPA certified mileage is 55 mpg then it is not
A hybrid that reaches fifty-five miles.
As one of my close friends said, 100% of Prius drivers around the world are still addicted to oil.
Effectively understand the co2 main material of any supplied base fuel.
Normal gas is 14.
-4 grams of carbon per million
Coke oil 19.
9 grams of carbon per metric tonjoule.
Applying all of this range of carbon-themed materials to the efficiency of a car or truck, for example as a reference, Honda burns a healthy gas and a Honda fuel cell ordinary gas car, and the winner of a straight-down is pure electric: however, tesla sports cars have earned huge profits in case you assume that every joules of the US energy manufacturing industry have normal CO2.
Compared with natural gas, the Carbon Dioxide Information of coal is greater, which is offset by insignificant carbon dioxide information such as hydropower, nuclear energy, geothermal, wind, sun, etc.
The exact electric manufacturing mix varies from one aspect of the place to the other, and changes over time, so all
The use of natural gas here is a fixed standard.
What I need to mention is that Tesla Motors will work together.
While using cars, marketing sustainable power products from other companies.
For example, in other possibilities, we may provide solar panels of medium size and price from PV company solarcity (
I am also a major financier).
This technique can be installed on top of you as it is small in size or set up like a garage with about 50 miles of electricity per day.
If you travel less than 350 miles a week, then you may feel admired for your personal transport.
This is usually a step other than saving or even canceling your use of transport power-you can actually put more energy in your technology again than it consumes in transit!
