It is no secret that Tesla is currently the most valuable automaker on the planet, this is mainly
due to Elon Musk's Electric Vehicle company constantly producing mind-blowing vehicles.
It's hard to believe that the company only has four models; the Model S, Model 3 sedans along
with Model X and Model Y crossovers despite being by far the most successful purveyor
of electric vehicles. That's considering the fact that one of its closest competitors, Ford,
sells double that number of SUV's alone. However, the recently declared richest man in the world
has grand plans to expand its offerings in the future. A pick up truck, a supercar,
and a high-performance sedan are all supposed to arrive by 2022. Elon Musk
has also made it known to his followers online that Tesla has an electric ATV, a $25, 000 car,
and a van in the works as well. With the future of Tesla looking so bright up to this moment,
you can only wonder what Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk are up to for the near future.
In the course of this video, we will be talking about Tesla and
some of its grand plans for the future of the EV market.
In recent years, Tesla's stock value has risen by more than US$150 billion,
this has caused Elon Musk's company to look unstoppable in the eyes of the shareholders. The
company is also far ahead of Volkswagen, Toyota, Nio, BYD and Daimler to a point in which many
people are even suggesting that it could become the world's first trillion-dollar car company.
Despite all of Tesla's success in the stock market and beyond,
the company would need to succeed in multiple segments of the market before it can have a
truly broad impact in the car industry. What we are implying is that we'd have to see electric
pickups as well as smaller sedans and luxury SUVs produced by Tesla in order to see it's influence
over the car market as complete. This is something that even Elon Musk has constantly acknowledged,
especially when he laid out the second half of the company's ambitious master plan in 2016.
The company's CEO stated the need for heavy-duty trucks and high passenger-density urban transport
amongst other products running on electricity. However, judging from the killer concepts we
are about to show you, it doesn't appear like Tesla will leave any stone untouched.
These vehicles will change the view and perspective of vehicles in the coming years.
E-bikes started being rumored late into the end of last year when a picture of a Tesla Model e-bike
concept designed by Kendall Toerber circled the Internet. Posed with a stunning device,
the sight of it alone is exciting as well as thrilling, but what's really noticeable is
how this design breaks with common conventions of other bikes in the market today. And here is the
exciting part, it might not be so far off before Tesla brings an e-bike into the market.
Nevertheless, this design is proof that electric vehicles are the future.
That's a fact right there my friends, and you should mark our words because it
won't take much time for bikes like this to flood the streets in numbers. And remember,
you heard it here first. This direction is exactly where we believe Tesla will go soon.
You are probably already wondering what the Tesla Model B bikes will look and feel like.
Well, we are going to tell you just that. The most interesting things about the model-B bike is that
it will form a bridge between your typical or conventional bicycles and road-vehicles.
Looking at this design, the wheels are designed almost like a car, to be more efficient and less
energy-intensive. The model B has a sleek frame that comes with forward, side-facing,
and rear proximity and LiDAR sensors that can scan the surroundings to create a protective
bubble around the rider, alerting the rider of any obstacle. Each of the bike's wheels will come
with its dedicated monitor, forming the Model B's dual-drive systems. And also, the spokes on
the wheel are replaced by shock absorbers, which ensure the rider has a smooth ride.
This bike does not work like your typical bikes where you control it by exerting pressure on the
handlebars, rather, the more pressure you exert on this Tesla Model B e-bike concept,
the stronger the wheel turns independently. It also comes with an inconspicuous display which
you will find in the frame, from which you can read information about the route and the battery
capacity. Ultrasonic radar sensors and cameras are installed around the bike and their function
is to prevent you from danger or ensure the rider doesn't put themselves in danger.
Should the rider find himself in a critical, or dire situation,
the e-bike will take over the control from you and master the situation in autopilot.
I'm sure you are probably wondering how the autopilot on this bike works. Well,
the forward, side, and rear facing radar,
cameras, and ultrasonic sensors detect potholes, bumps, bikes and other objects.
By using an independently powered fork shaft, its stationary handles detect force. That
means the wheels turn independently based on handle force input and autopilot sensor data.
E-BIKES
Tesla has a reputation for making outrageous electric vehicles and when we say outrageous,
we mean outrageous in a freaking good way. Sometime last year, during Tesla's
Cybertruck launch, an ATV was brought onto the stage at the end of the unveil which received
a rouse of applause. The ATV drew a lot of attention even later as many people couldn't
seem to get over the beautiful beast. Just look at it, isn't it such a beautiful beast? The
company's CEO luckily confirmed to us that the ATV will be available as an option with
the Cybertruck. And if you think that was exciting, it gets even more juicy,
Tesla's CEO also confirmed to us that we might get a Tesla-made all-terrain two-wheeler as well!
This fancy ATV looks like a true companion to the truck and unlike the truck, it looks a lot more
traditional, and something worthy of standing toe-to-toe with the current top-notch ATV's.
Tesla has not given any details about the ATV yet, but knowing how the company operates, we
are sure this will be one hell of a performer. We know how Musk has been vocal about electrification
in every vehicle category, but he's not in support of the idea of making an electric motor bike. Musk
believes creating one is dangerous, mentioning that he almost got killed on a bike in his teens.
Looking to the bright and hopeful side of things, we could still be getting an electric dirt bike in
the future if demand from Tesla's customers for such vehicle became considerably high.
"Tesla Helicopter".
While we might not see a Tesla Helicopter soon, or while there's no need for Tesla to be building
a helicopter just yet, I wouldn't put the idea past Elon Musk's plans for the future. I mean,
if you take a look at the things he's built in the last ten years,
it's not difficult to see him venturing into the Helicopter market. That is exactly what Antonio
Paglia sure seems to think as he believes Tesla will try to pull a rabbit out of the hat and make
their very own Tesla helicopter. The concept for such helicopter would have to be built in
a time where Tesla's batteries are powerful enough to be able to power large airborne vehicles.
Nevertheless, Antonio Paglia's concept carries the company's DNA, both physically and spiritually.
Looking at the design and colour, the helicopter appears to come out straight from an iron man
movie. Nevertheless, the design seems to have a few tricks up its sleeve. The very first thing
you notice about this design is the exoskeleton that engulfs the underside of the carriage.
But that undercarriage isn't just for show. Judging by the looks of it,
it serves some sort of aerodynamic purpose. If you look a little closer at it you'll see four
engines, two in each side which we believe must have something to do with maneuvering ability. The
helicopter is obviously designed for efficiency and speed, it will also do well in departments
like safety and patrol. This helicopter would therefore allow the flight crew to effectively
patrol the skies and ground while in some cases offer assistance in emergencies. If Tesla does
go ahead with this concept or builds something similar, it will definitely be a game-changer.
Tesla Boat.
Growing up, one of the first lessons we learn is that water and electricity don't mix
but such is not the case with the Tesla E-vision GT concept Boat. The boat of course, takes Tesla's
philosophy of an emissions-free approach to luxury transportation. The Tesla E-vision concept boat
uses power electronics high-performance liquid-cooled lithium-ion batteries and
a powertrain controller. The boat also uses two electric motors to power separate engines mounted
symmetrically on the left and right side. The two combined motors reach an astounding horsepower
output of 1800 hp. The motors and batteries are the same used in the model A electric drive. That
means the boat is capable of cruising at speeds of up to 39 knots, with a top speed of over 49 knots.
The fact that the boat is electric means that the engines are quiet and do not produce any
kind of vibrations that can distract you from the joy of speeding across the water.
The size of the E-vision boat is about 18 meters and it is capable of accommodating 8 people. The
materials used in making the boat are all UV- and waterproof materials, with wood used in making the
flooring of the boat. The structure of the boat is made of CFRP composite construction reinforced
with Kevlar to ensure that the boat is lightweight and fast as well as strong and rigid. Elon Musk
has not said anything about Tesla entering the boating market yet, but if they did, the E-vision
GT concept is something Tesla is likely to make. So fingers crossed, the boat certainly looks
exciting and we feel it's just a matter of time before something like this comes into the market.
The Automobiles.
Tesla also has grand plans to expand its current offerings in the near future.
Elon Musk has told us that semi trucks, pickup trucks, supercars, and high-performance sedans are
all at work and are expected to arrive by 2022. The Tesla's Cybertruck which caused a stir upon
its reveal in a grand event in 2019 is expected to arrive in 2022. According to Elon Musk,
the cybertruck will be bulletproof even though its glass did shatter on stage twice during
its unveiling. The truck will come in three configurations, these are a single-engine
rear-wheel drive, dual-engine all-wheel drive, and tri-engine all-wheel drive.
The truck will offer up to 500 miles of range and pricing will start at $39, 990.
The Tesla Roadster was first revealed in 2017 and according to Elon Musk, it will be the
fastest production car ever made. Tesla claims the four-seat supercar will sprint to 100mph in 4.2
seconds on its way to a top speed of more than 250 mph. Even though it's been four years now,
we are still waiting for what I believe is a flying car given its ridiculous speed.
The model S plus on the other hand is an upgrade of the Tesla's model S which was introduced in
2012. It features a more aerodynamic exterior, a simplifier interior and a more robust powertrain
that can travel up to 520 miles on a single charge. Whether Elon Musk admits it or not,
this new edition of the car looks like Tesla's attempt to outdo the likes of the Porsche Taycan
and the Lucid Air. The new Model S will cost between $79,990 and $119, 000.
In the last few years, Tesla has been steadily decreasing the price of its vehicles and that's
understandable because EVs are set to get even cheaper in the near future. According to Musk,
a fully autonomous Tesla car would hit the market in 2022, but Musk himself had also admitted that
punctuality isn't one of his strong suits. So, it's fair to say it might take longer than 2022.
