The deliveries of new cars from Tesla in the past quarter (July-September 2019) around the world reached 97,000. At the same time, the company's production from Palo Alto in the same period amounted to 96,155 units. The previous record of deliveries for Elon Musk's company was recorded in the second quarter of 2019 when Tesla delivered 95,200 units to worldwide customers.

Of the 97,000 deliveries to Q3 2019, the 79,600 were related to Model 3, while 17,400 Model S and Model X. As reported by the American company, 15% of the purchasers of the latter acquired their car through leasing, a percentage reduced to 8% in the case of Model 3.

Model 3 was last month as the most popular model in the Dutch market, recording in just one month (September) 5,768 sales. Noteworthy is the fact that the rankings of the American EV in that market exceeded the previous 30 days those of the second in popularity model which for the occasion were no other than the VW Polo!

The Tesla Model S is up to now the ultimate benchmark in a Drag Race in electric vehicles, since it offers explosive acceleration from stasis and even with the ability to keep performance at very good levels. In the video that follows from YouTube channel Lovecars, you can see a Drag Race where the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC 4-Door Coupé will find opposite Tesla Model S P100D. The German Sedan has an acceleration of 0-100km/h at 3.2 sec while the Model S for 0-96km/h needs only 2.4 sec.
Which of the two do you think will prevail?






Description from YouTube channel Lovecars :

It’s fantastic to see so many supportive comments for our videos but, with the quality we like to produce, they are extremely expensive to make so it would be great if you could head to Patreon to see what we can offer you, in return for you helping us make a lot more!
Paul and Tiff get together for another Drag Race with the Tesla Model S and the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ 4-Door Coupé. The results are not completely what you would expect, or are they?

Many reviews for Tesla Model 3 relate to an overview of the car and of course how it behaves on the road, performance etc. What are the effects though of a long-term use? The answer we will take from the video below where the specific Model 3 has travelled 60,000 milles. How much was the servicing cost? The battery has degradation and how much? These and many other answers you will get below!

The Netherlands is now the most important market for Tesla since the numbers are much larger, since in September, 5,678 cars were sold, almost four times above the August sales. The demand for Model 3 has highlighted Tesla as the country's most popular company for the month concerned.

It is worth noting, however, that there were massive classifications of the car last month. Also, to say that the availability of Model 3 in Europe began in February, in the three main markets that are of Holland, Germany and Norway.

The price of Tesla Model 3 in Europe is 43,390 euros and from there it is shaped according to the tariffs of each market. The autonomy with a charge is at 380 km when its direct competitor, VW ID. 3, will have from 330 km (at 550 with the big battery) and will cost much cheaper at 30,000 euros.


In the Netherlands there are incentives and tax exemptions, both in the retail market and in the timeshare. However, in the Netherlands since the beginning of the year VW has sold 36,449 cars versus 13,991 Tesla. In Norway Tesla sold 3,300 Model 3 in the July-September quarter, about 900 more than VW.

According to CNBC, Tesla proceeded to the acquisition of the startup company DeepScale, which specializes in machine earning technology through the use of low-consumption processors, so that it can improve the ability to drive autonomous Vehicles. What Tesla is trying to accomplish with this acquisition is to improve the quality of autonomous driving in the vehicles it will have on the market.

This will be achieved by effectively using neural networks in processors and low energy-consumption sensors in order to improve the way perception systems perceive the space in which they are moving. Such procedures require sensors, recording and design of systems that will manage the data received in real time, which is necessary for the operation of autonomous vehicles which can be "understand " the space around them, at the time of driving.

Another area in which Tesla is expected to benefit from this acquisition is the "building" of a Robotaxi test network that expects to consist of 1 million vehicles by the end of 2020.

The "Summon" function of Tesla, which the vehicle to park itself and leaving the parking itself, was a major innovation that was applied to all models of the American company. In the latest upgrades the Summon became even more "smart" since it can leave the parking spot and come to the place called by the owner. In the video that follows from YouTube channel UrAvgConsumer, you can see how Tesla's smart Summon behaves after several tests. Does It Actually Work?





Description from YouTube channel UrAvgConsumer :

Tesla software 10.0 just dropped and includes a ton of new features like access to Spotify, playing games like Cuphead and the new Smart Summon feature. Smart summon allows the car to come to you on its own depending on where you are. Question is, how well does it work?

Tesla Model Y was presented in March and implements the vision of Elon Musk for S3XY electric cars (Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y).  Although the Model Y launch is expected in a year (May earlier), real-time testing has begun, and in the previous days a prototype was caught moving to Palo Alto, near the Tesla headquarters.

The Tesla Model Y is essentially a Model 3 with compact SUV design and includes 75% of the components of the previous model. Moreover, it has three series of seats such as Model X, therefore it has space for 7 passengers, but also glass roof in all its versions. In the short video below you can see the Model Y on a public road as recorded a Model 3 dash cam.

The huge stretch that has an airport is the ideal space for Drag Race and as you can see in the video below there are several Tesla Model S and Model 3 where tested on various layouts. However, the match between the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta with the Tesla Model 3 Performance, where the Italian super-car delivers over 700 hp while the 0-100 needs only 3.1 sec. The instantaneous huge torque of the electric Tesla will be able to eliminate the huge Ferrari's power? The answer below.





Description from YouTube channel Matteo Valenza (translated)

Mamma mia! but how much do these tesla electric cars track? even more of a ferrari and the more you unload the stronger they go :D ! In this race you will see tesla model 3 performance and tesla model s p100d struggling with an airport runway to forlì and a ferrari f12 sedan. will electric mobility be the future in sport?

In the Drag Race, traction plays the main reason for a particular vehicle to achieve a very good start and at the same time a good time at the end. In the video that follows the TESLA Model 3 Performance has opposite the powerful Dodge Hellcat Charger. The four-wheel drive of Model 3 in combination with electric motors can achieve a great result in acceleration. But will it be enough to enforce it against Hellcat Charger?




Description from YouTube channel Chill Cars :

11.769@114.15 (Tesla) vs 12.152@124.46 (Hellcat).  If the race had been 40 feet longer, I was toast as the Charger was coming on strong!  Thanks to Jonathan Reyes-Santos for the footage!

The top version of Tesla Model 3, comes with two electric motors, 487 horsepower and 640 Nm of torque.  On the contrary, the VW Golf R delivers 300 horsepower at 5.500-6.500 rpm and 380 Nm at 2,000-5.400 rpm of course it's a four-wheel drive and this particular Golf R doesn't have any crazy conversions. Only a first stage of Revo, which sends power to the 400 HP. In theory, he doesn't have the slightest chance.

However, while Model 3 passes to the start, the German hot hatch picks up the difference and passes the 400 to 11.768 L., versus 12.251 of the American ηλεκτρικού sedan. Impressive! What do you think?

According to a study conducted by iSeeCars, the S model of Tesla retains its value 2 times more than a conventional or an electric car. According to this study, the average depreciation rate for electric vehicles is 56.6% versus 38.2% for an average car using petrol.

Also earlier studies have shown that in general, electric cars are underestimated more quickly than common petrol-powered vehicles. However, we must bear in mind that electric cars are being underestimated more quickly because resale prices are calculated as well as the state and local credits applied to these vehicles when purchased for the first time.


Ly suggests that obsolescence may also play a role in the high depreciation rate of electric vehicles:
"Because electric vehicle technology is changing rapidly, obsolescence also plays a role in their dramatic devaluation as well as consumer stress and the lack of public infrastructure to charge them."

However, things would have been different if electric cars did not have the extra credit and if petrol-powered cars were sold at their real cost, since their impact on health and the environment had been included in their price.

Either way, it is very likely soon the devaluation of gasoline cars to increase compared to electric vehicles. In a few years no one will want to buy petrol-powered vehicles and they will know that no one is going to want to buy their used petrol car in 3-5 years destroying its resale value.

Tesla Model 3 has won several awards for its security, such as 5 star rating in all categories and the lowest probability of injury from NHTSA, 5 stars from Euro NCAP and 5 stars by Australian NCAP. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has announced that it awards Tesla Model 3 the Top Safety Pick +, which is the highest security award given by the Institute.




The IIHS Top Safety Pick Award requires vehicles to achieve good performance in angular collisions on the driver's side, moderate collisions in front, lateral collisions, ceiling resistance, and good or acceptable lateral Passenger-level collisions. Also, vehicles should have an impact prevention system with advanced or higher gradation and headlamps suitable or acceptable according to the institute.




The Tesla Model 3 managed to achieve good ratings in the headlights and in all safety categories during the collision. In addition, it received superior scores in the prevention of frontal collisions. According to the Institute, the only risk of injury recorded in the tests was during the low-overlap crash tests on the driver's side. This is a scenario with moderate probabilities and you report a leg injury.

Electric vehicles have a significant advantage over conventional vehicles since the electric motor generates minimal noise resulting in quieter environment and better quality on the journey. On the other hand, however, in the city is a disadvantage since pedestrian is difficult to perceive. In the video below you can see the special sound that makes a Tesla Model 3 when moving in reverse.




Description from YouTube channel Crazypostman :

Starting September 2019 all Tesla model 3's will have this noise maker. I think it sounds goofy as heck.

Electric vehicles and stagnant waters for some it is certainly not the best combination, but here comes the Tesla Model X to dispel any doubt about the abilities of electric cars. As you can see in the video below, the waters have a depth of about 70-80 cm but the Model X does not seem to be difficult to cross them, even the reporter at the end quickly abandons his position after a small.... Tsunami Approaching!

The rumors that wanted the Tesla Model S with the "experimental" drive Plaid to crush the Porsche Taycan performance in the Nurburgring were confirmed a moment ago and officially longer.

The record time in the 4-door EV category achieved by the new Porsche Taycan was 7:42.34. But the Tesla did not stop here, after announcing that it will make some upgrades to the prototype Model S Plaid expecting that on its new visit to ' Ring next month, the performance of the prototype in a flat-out round will descend to 7:05!


Also, the company of Elon Musk published two photographs-graphs depicting both the longitudinal acceleration during the hot round and the performance of its electric motors in the various parts of the track.
