Tesla is changing the car industry forever
by developing cars of the future that are fully electric, can drive themselves and have peak performances
This is the evolution of Tesla cars
Everything started with the Tesla Roadster in 2008
Tesla knew building the first car was going to be expensive no matter what
So, they decided to build a premium sports car
The Roadster was priced at $98,950 dollars
The car had a 244 mile range
This was very impressive for an all-electric car at the time
In 2012 came the Model S
This car really changed electric driving
At the time, most electric cars were expensive, small and couldn't go far before the battery ran out
The Tesla Model S was different
It was a luxury sedan with a price tag of $57,400 dollars
The Model S could reach a top speed of 130 miles per hour
could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds
and had an impressive range of 265 miles
The car not only had great performance
It was also a very safe car
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the Tesla Model S a 5-star rating in every subcategory
In 2016 Tesla changed the model S, which is also known as the facelift
The most notable changes were the removed black nose cone and the standard LED headlights
In the same year autopilot became available
With autopilot you can remove your hands from the steering wheel and let the car drive by itself
It can steer, accelerate and brake automatically within its lane
Autopilot is a feature that can be activated in all new Tesla cars
Currently Tesla cars can’t fully drive by themselves yet
Elon Musk the CEO of Tesla, said that fully self-driving will come at the end of 2020
The Model S has improved a lot since 2012
With Ludicrous mode the car can reach a top speed of 163 miles per hour
and even more impressive
it can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 2.3 seconds
This is even quicker than the 3 million dollar Bugatti Chiron
that could reach 60 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds
The Model S Long Range Plus has an impressive range of 390 miles
which is further than any other electric car
In 2015 the production started for the Tesla Model X
This is a mid-size luxury SUV
The model X is a seven-passenger car
It is known for its falcon doors
The base price was around $80,000 dollars
The car could reach a top speed of 155 miles per hour
could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds
and had a range of 250 miles
The model X is one of the safest SUVs in the world with a 5-star rating
Tesla improved the Model X in 2019
With Ludicrous mode the car can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 2.7 seconds
Accelerating even faster than the Lamborghini Aventador S
The Model X has a range of 305 miles
From the start Elon Musk wanted to develop a car that is affordable for the mass market
That’s why Tesla made the Model 3 in 2017
The starting price is 35,000 dollars
The Model 3 can reach a top speed of 162 miles per hour
can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3.2 seconds
and has a range of 322 miles
No wonder the car has been a huge success so far
That’s not all
Tesla announced the Model Y
The Model Y is basically a bigger Model 3
The starting price will be $39,000 dollars and will be released later this year
All Tesla models will have a line-up of the models S, E, X and Y
This is because it has always been the goal of Tesla to make electric cars sexy
However, the number 3 was used to replace the letter E because Ford had already claimed the trade name of the model E
Tesla also announced a truck named the Tesla Semi
Tesla said that the energy cost will be half those of diesel
thus providing more than 200,000 dollars in fuel savings
Tesla also said that it will be the safest and most comfortable truck with a range of 500 miles
The expected starting price for the Truck will be $150,000 dollars and will also be released later this year
Tesla also announced a new Tesla Roadster
The Roadster has a top speed of more than 250 miles per hour
can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 1.9 seconds
and has an incredible range of 620 miles
This will be the quickest car in the world, with record setting acceleration, range and performance
A super car with a base price of $200,000 dollars that will be released at the end of this year or early next year
The final car Tesla announced looks as if a 5 year old kid has drawn it, the Cybertruck
The Cybertruck is a powerful pickup truck which looks completely different than any other pickup truck on the market
The Cybertruck is the car you want during an Apocalypse, because of the bullet resistant steel and armor glass
The car can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 2.9 seconds
Making it the fastest pickup truck
The Cybertruck has a range of up to 500 miles
The starting price for the Cybertruck is $39,900 dollars and will be released in late 2021
Tesla showed us that you don’t have to compromise to drive electric
Tesla isn’t just improving the performance of its cars
But also the world, with its goal to move towards a zero-emission future
