Tesla Inc. developed the all-wheel drive version of the electric car Model 3, which is equipped with two electric motors. This is not a budget car, because its price is $ 78 thousand, but the car can continue to move even if one of its engines fails.
According to Mask himself, riding this car is simply “amazing.” The modified Model 3 can accelerate to 96 km / h in just 3.5 seconds, its maximum speed is 250 km / h, and the cruising range is about 500 km.
One of the engines is located in front, the second - in the rear of the car. The engines have different "specialization". The first one was optimized to ensure high dynamic characteristics of the car, and the second - for the longest possible run between two recharges.
The stated price of $ 78 thousand does not include autopilot. According to Mask, the Tesla Model 3 with two engines costs about the same as the BMW M3, but it is 15% faster than the competitor and has better control. The entrepreneur is confident that on the highway an electric car will bypass all competitors in its class.
It is worth recalling that in the same year, the company introduced Tesla Semi unmanned aerial vehicles, which successfully coped with their task of delivering cargo from point “A” to point “B”. Pre-orders have already been made. So, PepsiCo ordered 100 trucks. Also, applications for a certain number of smart trucks left such companies as Walmart, the transport company JB Hunt Transport Services, Sysco Corporation, the logistics company DHL.
