The first car Roadster developed by Tesla was developed on the basis of Lotus Elise sports car. The three technologies of electric vehicle are battery, motor and transmission system. Tesla's transmission technology comes from AC propulsion; Its battery was purchased from 18650 battery produced by Panasonic. Its motor was purchased from Futian Electric in Taiwan Province Province. The origin of this AC motor can be traced back to the genius inventor nikola tesla (150 years ago). Tesla's company name was named after his old man's family. The full-size high-performance electric vehicle manufactured by Tesla Motors is expected to be put into sale in the middle of 20 12, while its competitors are pointing directly at the BMW 5 Series. The designer of this car, Franz von Holzhausen, is the designer of Mazda North America Branch.
At Tesla Motors, Model S has a unique chassis, body, engine and energy reserve system. Model S made its debut in the Late Show with David in April 2009. On February 9, 20 12, Tesla Motors released Model X, a full-size pure electric SUV. Its back door adopts the avant-garde eagle wing door design, driven by high-power motor, and the acceleration time of 0-96 km/h is within 5 seconds. This full-size pure electric SUV was mass-produced in 20 15. Model X combines the large space of MPV, the advantages of SUV and the advantages of electric vehicle. This is a car with excellent style and built around the driver.

The basic configuration is 90 kWh battery, 240 miles (calculated by EPA), and the starting price is132,000 USD. The Tesla Model S P85D is equipped with an all-wheel drive system with a top speed of 155 mph. The added radar and camera can identify pedestrians and road signs, and realize the functions of automatic parking, automatic driving on expressways, and automatic following traffic jams.

This four-wheel drive plus 100 kilometers acceleration does not lose gasoline-powered sports car-this is the fastest result of this car at present! The new model will travel 10 miles (16 kilometers) more than the same Model S, that is, the maximum cruising range can reach 275 miles (442 kilometers).
