Tesla Model S 2019
TESLA MODEL S 2019OverviewTesla's impact on America's automotive landscape was miniscule until the game-changing Model S sedan came along. This all-electric luxury car is definitive proof gasoline engines aren't the only way for people to get around. In fact, Tesla has gone so far as to prove that gasoline engines aren't the only way for people to have fun behind the wheel of a car. The 2019 Tesla Model S is either efficient and ferocious, with the highest-performing version capable of a claimed 2.4-second zero-to-60-mph time. We haven't tested it, but if the slower versions are anything to go by, the Model S with the aptly named Ludicrous Mode should offer acceleration that is truly neck-snapping. The cabin isn't as upscale as its price suggests, but buyers are paying for the tech rather than sumptuousness; Tesla offers plenty of tech, too, including a semi-autonomous driving mode, a remote-control driving feature, the largest infotainment screen in the automotive kingdom, and plenty more.What's New for 2019?Favoring a more simplistic arrangement, Tesla has altered the 2019 Model S lineup. Gone are the 75D, 100D, and P100D and in their place are the Standard, Long Range, and Performance models. The entry-level car comes with a battery capable of delivering a 270-mile driving range but selecting the Long Range model boosts the range to 335 miles. The Model S Performance comes with a range of 315 miles but focuses more on acceleration times; Tesla claims a zero-to-60-mph time of 3.0 seconds. For $15,000, Tesla will unlock the car's Ludicrous Mode, which drops that claimed acceleration time to an incredible 2.4 seconds.Tesla Model S Pricing and Which One to BuyStandard Range: $80,200Long Range: $84,200Performance: $100,200We'd stick with the Standard Range Model S, which offers plenty of driving range and acceleration performance for normal drivers. We would, however, add Tesla's Enhanced Autopilot feature.Powertrain, Charging, and PerformanceLikes: Immediate power delivery, astonishing acceleration, agile handling. Dislikes: Super-slow charging time on 120-volt connection.With an electric motor dedicated to each of the front and rear axles, the Model S offers full-time all-wheel drive no matter which version you choose. Acceleration performance of the various models ranges from outstanding to ferocious. Driving range and acceleration performance varies from model to model, with the base version's battery providing up to a 270-mile range while the Long Range model offers up to 335. We haven't tested the 2019 Model S yet, but our 2018 100D test vehicle blasted from zero to 60 mph in a mere 3.9 seconds and delivered endless entertainment thanks to its immediate power delivery. If that's not enough for you, the Model S Performance will be far more brutal and can be had with the Ludicrous driving mode that sends the Model S from zero to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds, according to Tesla.Under the Tesla's floor lies a battery pack that yields a low center of gravity and evenly distributed weight from front to rear. The Model S is an agile sports sedan with well-controlled body motions and direct steering. Two different settings allow drivers to choose heavy or light steering effort, but neither of them enable more feedback from the road ahead. Ride comfort is good, and the Model S imparts a solid feeling on the road that perfectly accompanies its tranquility when cruising.Driving Range and Real-World MPGeWhile rivals such as the Chevrolet Bolt EV and even Tesla's own Model 3 have encroached on its driving-range superiority, the Model S remains an impressive alternative to gasoline-powered vehicles when it comes to long-distance usability. The Model S Performance sacrifices some of its driving range to provide brutal acceleration performance. We tested a 100D model in 2018—which is essentially the Long Range Model S 2019—and found that our real-world range differed significantly from Tesla's stated maximum range; our test vehicle's battery maxed out at 270 miles on our highway fuel-economy test route. If you drive more in the city, you should expect to get much closer to Tesla's claimed range.Interior, Infotainment, and CargoLikes: Faux-leather- and faux-suede-wrapped dash, minimalist design, handy front trunk. Dislikes: Thinly cushioned seats, some uneven gaps between trim panels, no rear-seat storage cubbies.With Model S prices starting at more than $80,000, buyers would be reasonable to expect a certain amount of luxury inside the car. The cabin's atmosphere is nice enough, but it's not nearly as plush as those of our favorites such as the Mercedes-Benz E-classand the Volvo S90. A few missteps, such as poorly aligned interior panels, remind us that Tesla is still working through some growing pains as a new carmaker.Fans of modern minimalism will adore the Model S's cabin, which comes standard with a giant infotainment screen that controls almost all of the vehicle's functions. Technophiles will be in heaven, but we're not completely sold. The screen's positioning on the dashboard will require some drivers to lean forward in their seat to reach certain icons, especially those near the top right of the display.The Model S's sloped roofline cleverly hides a rear liftgate that opens up to reveal a huge 26-cubic-foot trunk. We managed to stash eight of our carry-on-size cases without folding down the rear seats. Paltry small-item cubby stowage throughout the interior—especially in the back seat—is offset by a large underfloor bin in the rear cargo area (unless the optional third-row seat is ordered).Safety and Driver-Assistance FeaturesAlthough the Model S has sparked a nationwide conversation about the safety of partially autonomous vehicles and has been reported to catch fire after certain types of high-speed impacts, its safety credibility is buoyed by decent crash-test results from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the knowledge that car fires aren't uncommon, either in electric- or gasoline-powered vehicles. Key safety features include:Standard automated emergency brakingStandard lane-departure warningAvailable adaptive cruise control with semi-autonomous driving mode

Tesla Model 3 is the best road trip car: 10 hours of driving on Autopilot and 0 hours waiting for charging
Tesla Model 3 is the best road trip car: 10 hours of driving on Autopilot and 0 hours waiting for chargingFred Lambert- Jul. 9th 2019 1:44 pm ET@FredericLambertFEATURELast weekend, I set out on my longest Tesla road trip yet, and I came to the conclusion that Model 3 is the best road trip vehicle out there for several reasons — but the main ones are Supercharging and Autopilot.Like many people often do in Los Angeles during the fourth of July weekend, my girlfriend and I decided to go to Las Vegas.There are a lot of cheap flights between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, but I thought it would be fun to drive through the desert in a Tesla vehicle. With the recent Supercharger upgrade enabling up to 150 kW of charging on V2 Supercharger stations, I figured it would be a great opportunity to experience the impact of the upgraded charging capacity on a long-distance trip.I rented a Model 3 Long-Range RWD on Turo. It was my first experience with Turo, and I was pleasantly surprised by how seamless and easy it was from start to finish.We rented the car from a Tesla owner named James who has two Model 3s, and he lists them both on Turo, which helps pay for the monthly payments, and he can drive one of them when it’s not being rented out.We picked up one of James’s Model 3s in Santa Monica at 10 a.m. on Friday and left for Vegas.Now, to be fair, the Los Angeles to Las Vegas route is one of the best-covered routes by Tesla’s Supercharger network, with six stations along the way.The Model 3 Long-Range RWD has an EPA-rated range of 310 miles, but it wasn’t fully charged when we picked it up.It had about 235 miles of range, but it was plenty for us, even though it’s almost a 300-mile trip:We planned to drive to Tesla’s Supercharger station in Baker and stop to charge and eat before continuing on to Las Vegas.However, it turned out that we needed to stop to use the restroom at around Barstow, and that ended up being perfect to optimize our charging time.We stopped at the Yermo Supercharger station just outside of Bartow, and we plugged in for about 15 minutes while we went inside to use the restroom and buy some iced tea.The Model 3 quickly hit a 143 kW charge rate:By the time we returned to the car, it had already added over 100 miles of range, which would have been enough to get to Las Vegas, but we planned to stop in Baker anyway to get something to eat.But we had to stop in Baker regardless, because we ended up hitting an exploded tire at 65 mph just before the exit.I was driving on Autopilot in the right lane in full traffic when I saw a vehicle two cars ahead do a weird move.Before I fully realized what was happening, the car ahead of us ran over a large truck tire that exploded, and with all the traffic around us, I didn’t feel like I could safely avoid it as the car ahead did.We ran over it. The hit was pretty strong on the front end, and we felt the Model 3 lift when the tire went under us.Due to the strong impact, I feared that the damage to the bumper would be bad, but we pulled over and it only had a few scratches on the front lip:Those are pretty deep scratches, but I honestly thought it would be a lot worse than this.When the tire went under the car, it also banged on the underbody panels and made a few plastic screws fall out, resulting in the panels hanging low:We were able to push the main underbody panel back in place underneath the front lip without too much issue.As for the felt-like panel behind the main panel, it wasn’t as big of a deal as the main one for safety and efficiency, but we still managed to fix it up with tape (by “we,” I mean mostly my girlfriend, who is small enough to get under the car — thanks Frances!) in order to help with the airflow underneath the Model 3.The tape fell off a few times under the heat and driving, but it didn’t affect the driving experience much.Overall, I was impressed by how the Model 3 fared in the accident. I expected much worse damage when I got out of the car.As for the charging, Tesla’s Baker Supercharger is great. It’s one of the largest, and it is covered by solar panels, which is a great source of power and shade in the 100F desert heat.We ended up charging for about a half hour while eating and fixing the car’s underbody, and the battery pack was 90% full, which is overkill for the less than 100 miles left to get to Las Vegas.On the last leg of the trip, we got a good reminder that despite media headlines, not only electric cars catch on fire:Also, you get to see a lot of renewable energy when driving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.Several solar farms are visible from the highway, including a beautiful molten salt thermal solar power plant, the largest in the world:We made it to Las Vegas. We were staying at the Bellagio where they have several charging stations, including a Tesla destination charging station.It guaranteed that we would have 100% charge when leaving, which we did on Sunday… at the same time as tens of thousands of other people, which created an incredible amount of traffic.We could have easily made it back to Los Angeles without charging, but we had to stop anyway because the traffic increased the drive time to six hours.Instead of sitting in traffic all day, we decided to take a longer, more scenic route that resulted in a similar drive time:On the way back, we ended up stopping at Tesla’s Barstow Supercharger station.With the amount of traffic, I was expecting the Supercharger to be busy, and that we might even have to wait to get a spot.It was full when we arrived, but a few people were starting to leave so we didn’t have to wait. However, we were sharing the 150 kW power with another Model 3 since the station was full.The Model 3 system showed 40 minutes for a 90% charge, but after three and a half hours of driving, we needed to stop to eat anyway.We were in and out of Chili’s in about 30 minutes, and by the time we made it back to the car, several Tesla owners had left the station, including the person we were sharing a Supercharger with, which resulted in our Model 3 already being charged to 90%, so we left right away.Another three hours later, we were back to Los Angeles with over 100 miles left.Overall, we drove on Autopilot for about 10 hours with fewer than a dozen driver interventions, and we waited for charging for a total of zero minutes.Electrek’s TakeThis was an awesome and eventful trip.

Elon Musk promises new Hyperloop tunnel after speed record broken
Elon Musk promises new Hyperloop tunnel after speed record brokenTUM Hyperloop broke the old speed record of 284 mphBy Jon Porter@JonPorty Jul 22, 2019, 4:54am EDTShare this storySHAREThe record was achieved by TUM Hyperloop’s fourth-generation pod. Image: Photo: A. Heddergott / TUM HyperloopTUM Hyperloop has set a new speed record of 463 km/h (288 mph) at the fourth SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition. The win was announced by Hyperloop’s official Twitter account. After confirming the speed record, Elon Musk announced that next year’s competition will take place in a 10 km vacuum tunnel with a curve rather than the current 1 mile (1.6 km) straight above-ground tube at the SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California.Although the win was another step forward for the theoretical transportation technology, TUM only beat the previous record by 4 mph, far short of the technology’s theoretical 760 mph max speed. The previous record was set by the same team (then known as WARR Hyperloop), in last year’s competition.Elon Musk✔@elonmuskNext year’s @Hyperloop competition will be in a 10km vacuum tunnel with a curve11.1K8:56 AM - Jul 22, 2019Twitter Ads info and privacy1,072 people are talking about thisTUM had originally hoped to hit a much higher speed of 373 mph, or roughly half the speed of sound, with a pod that doubled the power output of last year’s prototype. However, Teslerati reports that the pod was forced to come to an emergency stop after it suffered visible damage. At just 1.7 meters long and weighing 70 kg, the prototype is still a fraction of the size of what the eventual passenger-ready Hyperloop pods will be.Musk’s newly proposed tunnel will be a big change for future competitions. At 10 km long it would be over five times longer than all three of the current Hyperloop test tracks, and the inclusion of a curve would bring it far closer to what Hyperloop tracks will have to be like in the real world. The new tunnel would likely introduce additional challenges for the team’s competing in the competition.However, for now, it seems the new track is firmly in the theoretical stages of planning, and it’s unclear where it will end up being located. On stage at this year’s competition, TechCrunch reports that Elon Musk and Boring Company President Steve Davis discussed only a minor extension of the current test track by around 200 meters. Confusingly, they also discussed having the Boring Company build another longer tunnel, according to TechCrunch, but suggested that this one would be straight rather than curved, and would be built within the next three years rather than by 2020.
