Tesla Motors Reveals New Products - Tesla Model Y & New Battery Pack! (News in Science And Technology)

Tesla Motors has a lot of new treaties coming out for us :-)

'TESLA ENERGY' BATTERY PACKS WITH NEW ARCHITECTURE.

These new battery cells are going to be bigger, than current models. The size will increase from 18650 to 20700.
Also, the battery packs will be smaller thanks to better packaging and cooling.

CEO Elon Musk revealed that the first vehicle battery packs will be coming out of their factory in about 6 months, and are to be used as development battery pack for the Model 3.
Then next year, battery packs for the Model S and X will be also coming out for validation and production.
They are all going to be produced in Tesla's new Gigafactory (currently, still being build)

TESLA MODEL Y.

Elon Musk has just confirmed his plans to produce new SUV. Model Y will built based on the Model 3's chassis.
Full details are yet to be known but it is likely to share the same engine and battery combination as the Model 3 (Range up to 345 km and acceleration of 0-100 km/h in less than six seconds).
Because Tesla Motors, has confirmed that Model 3 will be equipped with their new Autopilot and Ludicrous modes , it means that these modes are likely to be introduced in Model Y.

I follow everything Elon Musk does because he is revolutionizing the auto industry and has big dreams for space travel. Wouldn't it be great to see Elon join STEEMIT! Perhaps he could have his media team create an account on THIS revolutionary site to post updates on his work. Upvoted!

Yes that would be cool, as long as he shares his Steem wealth with minnows and doesn't join "whales self admiring upvote club" :-)

wow good work finally a scientific post upvoted

Lol thanks. I admit that I have posted few silly ones but, in general I try to stick to scientific ones :-)

Great to hear about!
Thank you for sharing.
Happy Steem-ing

You are welcome. Happy Steeming too :-)

tesla is know to be coming out with better and greater technology. with the merging of solar conpany to tesla is a sign of greater things to come

It just keeps getting better ^_^

Improving battery technology is the main challenge for electric vehicles to succeed. As always Elon Musk and Tesla are at the front line of innovative technology. Keep on innovating and you will make it. Go Tesla!

BTW: Hi Elon Musk, when do you start publishing on STEEMIT?

There is no limit in human potential of ingenuity, if we stop saying "it is impossible" and start saying "how can I achieve this". People like Musk are real heroes of humanity.

All great development.
Better battery and power - fantastic.
Still, what a waist of energy and power using current electric motor their are using?
Shame!!!
Use my innovating Electric Power Engine and you save (90 %) of the battery juice. That means 90% more travel time and no loss in performance.
