Tesla Model Y Is Getting A Significant Range Upgrade carbuzz.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from carbuzz.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The Tesla could be heading for a 100-mile advantage. The Tesla Model Y already has the edge over its competitors when it comes to range, having received a range increase last year. Currently, the Long Range has a range of 326 miles and the Performance variant - which can get to 60 mph in only 3.5 seconds - isn t too far behind with a range of 303 miles. However, the Model Y can t yet match other Teslas like the Model 3 (maximum range of 353 miles) and the Model S (up to a claimed 520 miles). This could all be set to change later this year thanks to the automaker s latest battery technology and a revealing tweet from Elon Musk. ....
Is anyone really surprised? For years, Elon Musk has made bold claims about how far Tesla is to attaining Level 5 autonomy in its cars. In July last year, he said that Tesla was very close to doing just that, a claim that was quickly dismissed by industry experts. With this in mind, Tesla s latest announcement comes as little surprise. The company has apparently informed a regulator in California that it may not achieve full self-driving technology before the end of 2021. This information was contained in a California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) memo. Tesla Tesla Clearly, Musk s overconfidence has caught up with him once again because it was earlier this year that he claimed to be highly confident the car will be able to drive itself with reliability in excess of human this year. Considering the teething issues that Tesla has had in rolling out its full self-driving software (which isn t actually fully self-driving at all), it s obvious why the ....
Production capacity has been reached. Tesla has added yet another impressive achievement to its growing list of them. According to sources familiar with the matter who tipped off Electrek, the all-electric automaker has already reached production capacity for the second quarter despite the fact that there are still two months remaining in the business period. Until now, it was expected both the heavily updated Tesla Model S and Model X would experience production bottlenecks following a previous delay. That s still apparently happening. But the report indicates both the Model 3 and Model Y are sold out through July 1, 2021, even though both continue to experience price increases. ....
Prices increased by how much since February!? We ve all become accustomed to the fact Tesla doesn t operate like a typical automaker. Never has and likely never will. Sometimes, it for the better, like releasing over-the-air updates instead of waiting for next model year improvements current owners can t benefit from. But when it comes to pricing, buyers can be left scratching their heads. Tesla changes vehicle pricing on its website without prior notice, though the amounts aren t usually substantial. But they do add up. Case in point: the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. Electrek reports prices for both vehicles have increased yet again, this time by $500 each. The cheapest versions for both now begin at nearly $38,990 and $50,990, respectively. Those who ve been following this subject over the past few months will notice a troubling pattern has emerged. ....
