Tesla Motors Awarded By Automobile Club of Southern California

Tesla's Model S P85D stole the limelight as it is ranked first in the test carried out by the research center of the club.

The American electric automobile manufacturer, Tesla Motors, has received good news, as one of its pioneered vehicles, Model S P85D, has been ranked first by the Automobile Club of Southern California. Tesla news reported that a test was carried out by the research center of the club. 88 vehicles were tested and rated in a number of categories. These encompassed comfort ability of the ride, levels of emissions, fuel costs, handling and braking. These features might add to the selling proposition of the product.

Industry sources have informed that the automaker scored 94.87 points, almost 10 points greater than the scored points of the rivals. The club has stated in its report that the vehicle is spacious, enjoyable, and quiet. This statement is sufficient to indicate that it is capable of satisfying all the needs of its users by providing superior quality.

Tesla news today affirmed that this electric ‘automotive’ has a number of excellent features. These include an approximate range of 253 miles between charges and 691 horsepower from a double motor set up. Company sources have informed that the high-tech car is capable of reaching 60 miles per hour in three seconds. This information indicates the accelerating ability of the car.

The price of the car was higher than other high ranked cars. Some of them also belonged to luxury brands. The German companies, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG and Audi, manufactured two of the tested cars. Tesla Motors news highlighted that the majority of the appreciated cars were powered by electricity. This information indicates that the popularity of electric vehicles is rising day by day, as fuel-consuming cars are being blamed for polluting the environment.

Volkswagen’s e-Golf SEL Premium was also appreciated as it ranked second in the test. The report said that the car could not match the standard of Tesla-pioneered product as it lacked range. BMW i3 ranked third, which was appreciated for its highly advanced electronics and lightweight materials. Fourth rank was awarded to Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium. It was the only gasoline vehicle in the top ten. The Volkswagen Golf TDI SE was given the fifth rank, which was appreciated for its lower price. Other vehicles in the top ten included Audi A7 TDI Quattro Tiptronic, Nissan leaf, BMW 328d M Sport, Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited, and the Audi A8 LTDI Quattro Tiptronic. The report also discusses details about green technologies, such as diesel engines, battery electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, and plugin hybrids.

It is most probable that the scoring done by the club would promote the use of electric cars. Now it is yet to be seen that to what extent the ranking list is able to increase the sales of Tesla.

Tesla Motors Builds Charging Station In Australia

Tesla Motors has decided to build a charging station in Australia, which would make the use of electric vehicles convenient.

The American electronic automobile producer, Tesla Motors, has decided to build and operate a super charging station in Australia. Tesla news reported that the company would build a super charging station in Goulburn, which is located between the cities of Sydney and Canberra. The project would consist of eight super chargers that are constructed to make the use of electric automobiles convenient.

The project would be located near the Hume Highway. Experts have stated that the station would permit drivers to charge up their cars in a time span of one hour, for covering approximately 270 kilometers. Company sources informed that the charging station would start its operations before June.

Superchargers are currently capable of charging electric vehicles in the fastest manner. Tesla news today affirms that these innovative charging stations would be much more powerful than the existing power charging stations of the company. This information is adequate to elaborate that it would be able to charge vehicles in a better manner.

Government sources have informed that the station would be quite different from the ones located in other areas, as these would purchase electricity from renewable resources. The means of sourcing chosen by the company explain that the power suppliers of Australia would also benefit from the operation of the charging station, as vehicle manufacturer would acquire energy from them as well.

Tesla motors news reported that the carmaker currently operates two charging stations in Australia. Both of these stations are located within the territorial boundaries of Sydney. The nonexistence of charging stations outside the city is ample to discourage Australian users from purchasing electric locomotives, as no one wants to be deprived of power supply in the middle of the route.

Experts have suggested that the charging station would significantly increase the demand for electric automobiles, as this ‘revolutionary advancement’ would be able to charge vehicles outside Sydney. In this manner, the newly built charging station would increase the sales revenue of Tesla Motors as well.

Australia is the only place where the company is suffering from consumer’s unwillingness to purchase vehicles, as the same problem is being faced in the most populated country of the world. Consumers are unwilling to buy its cars due to lack of charging stations.

Tesla is known for its state-of-the-art cars, which are highly appraised by many analysts and experts. The company faces some issues and challenges during the commencement of the project, but that should not hinder it from accomplishing its promises. The endeavors of the company mark its future prospects. Now it is yet to be seen that to what extent does the project is able to play its role in attracting vehicle users towards Tesla Motors.
