  • Tesla offers three lithium-ion battery packs for the Model S -- 40-kW-hr, 60-kW-hr, and 85-kW-hr -- that are claimed to provide ranges of 140, 200, and 265 miles, respectively. The base 85-kW-hr powertrain delivers a stout 362 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, while the performance version makes 416 hp and 443 lb-ft.

  • The best energy consumption figure we've returned is 118 mpg-e for a 212-mile run
  • With a base price of $58,570 (before a federal tax credit of $7500), the 40-kW-hr Model S is competitive with entry-level Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series, and Audi A6.
  • In terms of active safety, the Tesla Model S is at the top of the class.
  • Tesla claims the Model S outperforms federal crash standards, having been impact-tested at 50 mph (the mandatory standard is 35 mph)
  • Tesla's plant in Fremont, California, using Panasonic cells with nickel-cobalt-aluminum cathodes.
  • Markus Roder 5pts Dec 10, 2012 @LarryC213 Yes Larry - I agree with you. Clearly, only crowning a Ford F-350 or a revived Hummer as car of the year would have demonstrated Motortrend's lack of bias. I asked myself, though: Why is it, that the other car magazines like this car, too? But no worries, I came up with the answer pretty quiclly: All of them are in the pocket of the evil leftist homo-muzleem tree-hugging conspiracy, eh?  ShareFlag1LikeReply
  • Tesla recently unveiled the first five of what it calls its Supercharger stations along routes connecting L.A. to Las Vegas and San Francisco, and S.F. to Reno
  • These Superchargers are veritable electron fire hoses, delivering DC energy directly into the battery at rates up to 80 kW, bypassing the on-board 10-kW (or optional 20-kW) inverter(s), and gaining 150 to 160 miles in range in 30 minutes.
  • and it's permanently free to Model S owners
  • Tesla predicts 100 stations nationwide by 2015.
  • Tesla predicts 100 stations nationwide by 2015.
  • That the 11 judges unanimously voted the first vehicle designed from the wheels up by a fledgling automaker the 2013 Motor Trend Car of the Year should be cause for celebration.
  • The 2013 Motor Trend Car of the Year is one of the quickest American four-doors ever built. It drives like a sports car, eager and agile and instantly responsive. But it's also as smoothly effortless as a Rolls-Royce, can carry almost as much stuff as a Chevy Equinox, and is more efficient than a Toyota Prius.

  • Eric Lundgren is obsessed with recycling electronics.
  • He built an electric car out of recycled parts that far outdistanced a Tesla in a  test. He launched what he thinks is the first “electronic hybrid recycling” facility in the United States, which turns discarded cellphones and other electronics into functional devices, slowing the stream of harmful chemicals and metals into landfills and the environment. His California-based company processes more than 41 million pounds of e-waste each year and counts IBM, Motorola and Sprint among its clients.
  • But an idea Lundgren had to prolong the life of personal computers could land him in prison.

  • Prosecutors said the 33-year-old ripped off Microsoft by manufacturing 28,000 counterfeit discs with the company’s Windows operating system on them. He was convicted of conspiracy and copyright infringement, which brought a 15-month prison sentence and a $50,000 fine.

    You may perceive the name Eric Lundgren. In 2017, he was everywhere throughout the news for making a $13,000 DIY electric vehicle with a 380 or more mile extend, effectively besting a Tesla. His LA-based organization worked in overseeing e-waste from regular electronic gadgets like cell phones and PCs. He's committed a huge number of hours to recuperating batteries, engines, and circuits from disposed of things reuse in wheelchairs, vehicles, or even different PCs. At 19, he began an organization to refurbish and offer PCs given to him by corporate customers like Dell, Asus, and Lenovo. At the point when a PC is sold or scrapped the Windows license accompanying it is legitimately transferrable to the new proprietor, making reestablishing non-working PCs and exchanging them a generally simple process. With a real Windows license, everything necessary is introducing the working framework from a reestablish circle and connecting the license key to demonstrate it's a legitimate install. The license key was frequently shown on a sparkly sticker along the edge or base of a PC. The certificate of realness, and the license key, is all you'd have to authentically introduce a working rendition of Windows on a non-running device. Those that didn't have the sticker, Lundgren told the Los Angeles Times, he rejected, pitching the parts to be utilized in different machines. Yet, it's here that Lundgren kept running into inconvenience. In the wake of aggregating exactly 28,000 restore discs, similar discs that used to come included with a bought PC, in any event before makers began getting rid of optical drives, Lundgren endeavored to dispatch them to his accomplice, for use in reestablishing non-working gadgets. After Microsoft and Dell caught wind of the plan, Lundgren was issued an indictment and fines

  • complimentary Tesla electric vehicle and a bicycle valet service
  • Technology integration firm Mode:Green was hired to design and install lighting and custom automation solutions to provide all three elements.
  • 1 Hotel presented challenges early on because the original control system design wasn’t compatible with the building design. To get the project back online, Mode:Green immediately designed a new control system using Crestron and Axxess automation.
  • But during that time lighting technology changed, and Mode:Green had to shift to provide new solutions that still aligned with the hotel’s design vision.
  • 1 Hotel is run on a Crestron automation system that makes it easy for hotel operations staff to change lighting settings at a moment’s notice. The Crestron automation system provides unique settings, including a lighting schedule that can be set to coordinate with an astronomical clock so that the lighting fits the time of day based on the sun’s position.
