Tesla advisor and early investor Philip Odegard on the next-gen Tesla Roadster

It is already 2020, and this year Tesla is set to bring to market certain new models that are poised to boost the company’s valuation and give it’s competition a run for their money. The company’s CEO Elon Musk was dancing with joy onstage during a ceremony held recently at the Shanghai Gigafactory, celebrating the delivery of the first China-built Model 3 cars to the public out of the factory. Various new product developments are underway. This can take Tesla to new heights.

Philip Odegard, an early investor at Tesla and the recipient of Tesla’s original roadster, serial number 139 to be exact, revealed at the 2019 annual shareholder meeting just how amazing of a machine the next generation truly is. “That car is like no other. I think it showcases the ability of what an electric vehicle can be and much more as we move away from ancient fossil-fuel combustion,” he said. “I’d often get thumbs-up praise back in 2010 when driving the original roadster in San Francisco, but there was also a significant amount of go-kart remarks and skepticism behind the product,” Odegard said.

The original 2008 Tesla Roadster was based on the Lotus Elise chassis and was the first highway legal serial production all-electric car to use lithium-ion battery cells and the first production all-electric car to travel more than 320 kilometers (200 mi) per charge. It is also the first production car to be launched into orbit, carried by a Falcon Heavy rocket in a test flight on February 6, 2018. The roadster accelerated from 0 to 97 km/h (0 to 60 mph) in 3.7 or 3.9 seconds depending on the model. It had a top speed of 201 km/h (125 mph), which is considerably slow by 2020’s standards and technological advancements over the decade.

Tesla Model Y: The much-anticipated Model Y, which is relied upon to be out for conveyance soon, aroused the interest of EV lovers since it was first revealed in March 2019. Around then, the vehicle was booked to be propelled in pre-winter 2020, yet later Tesla reported that the hybrid will be accessible in summer itself. In any case, it appears that the organization may discharge the Model Y in front of its mid-year dispatch window. Only a couple of days back, Tesla Model Y got its CARB (California Air Resource Board) affirmation, alluding to an outstanding reach (higher than the previously publicized scope of 280 miles for every charge).

The exceptionally foreseen dispatch of Model Y, a little hybrid vehicle, is required to support the organization’s possibilities. Fundamentally Model Y is a littler, minimal and an increasingly sensible variant of Model X. Edge desires for Model Yare higher than its exceptionally well-known Model 3. While generation costs are relied upon to be the same for both, Model Y is evaluated higher than Model 3 because of additional room, bigger size and a hatchback. With a scope of in excess of 300 miles for each charge and seating limit of 7 grown-ups, Model Y would be offered in three variations. The Rear-Wheel Drive Long Range form will retail at $48,000. The Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive Long Range and the Performance form will be sold at $52,000 and $61,000, separately.

Tesla Semi: Tesla had stood out as truly newsworthy when it disclosed the all-electric rock solid truck, Tesla Semi, in 2017. While the organization was at first scheduled to start the creation of the equivalent in 2019, it later deferred it to 2020. The main EV creator will start the constrained generation period of Tesla Semi in second-half 2020. Curiously, the all-electric Tesla Semi can possibly upset the tremendous U.S. trucking industry.

Semi’s appearance appears to be enlivened by Japan’s projectile trains. In obvious Tesla style, the vehicle is stacked with prevalent innovation specs. Semi would be controlled by four autonomous electric engines dependent on the ones that force the Model 3. On account of its four electric engines, the vehicle can accomplish 0-60 mph increasing speed in 5 seconds level without a trailer. What’s increasingly amazing is that, in any event, when completely stacked, Semi can hit thruway speeds at around 20 seconds. At first, Musk said that Semi would be offered in two variations, with either 300 mile or 500-mile renditions, for $150,000 and $180,000, separately. In any case, later Musk said that the more drawn out range adaptation may convey around 600 miles on a completely energized battery. Tesla Semi is set to offer a drag coefficient of 0.36, which is essentially stunning!

Tesla Roadster: The hotly anticipated cutting edge Tesla Roadster, which was revealed in 2017, is additionally liable to hit the streets this year. While Roadster isn’t the organization’s need, Tesla focuses to dispatch the equivalent in 2020, particularly after its amazing model in 2017. While Musk had guaranteed at the Tesla Design Studio occasion in 2017 that the $200,000 estimated Roadster will be at a bargain in 2020, he neither affirmed nor postponed the creation timing of the vehicle when gotten some information about the Roadster program a year ago. Be that as it may, he hinted at a potential generation volume for Roadster saying “it’s most likely not in excess of 10,000 units for every year.”

Strikingly, Musk has charged Roadster as the “dessert” of the organization’s up and coming item lineup. The excessively quick EV will offer 1.9-second 60mph scramble with a top speed of in excess of 250 mph. It will brandish 200 kWh battery packs giving 630 miles of parkway driving extent. One of the most energizing highlights of Roadster is the SpaceX choice bundle, which will incorporate 10 little rocket engines organized consistently around the vehicles. This will definitely improve braking, increasing speed and speed.

Tesla Model S Plaid: During the second from last quarter 2019 profit call, Musk affirmed that it would proceed with the creation of Model S for nostalgic reasons. Model S is Tesla’s leader vehicle and will remain along these lines, thinking about Musk’s announcements. A three-engine track-prepared adaptation of Model S is headed. The organization is attempting to introduce its new “Plaid” tri-engine Powertrain to Model S, which is relied upon to revive Model S, which is battling in the midst of the enormous notoriety of Model 3 vehicles. Currently, the greatest battery pack offered by Model S is 100 kWh unit. Anyway, the Plaid variation will wear a greater battery pack. The track-competent, efficiently streamlined Plaid variation will hold the exemplary look of Model S.

Tesla Model S Plaid units are set for generation around summer 2020 and will be accessible available to be purchased for the current year. While the cost of the vehicle has not been uncovered, Musk said that it will be lower than the contenders, alluding to Volkswagen VWAGY Porsche’s Taycan Turbo with a base cost of $150,900. In such a manner, Model S Plaid is normal to be lower than $150K, most likely somewhere close to $120K and $150K.

Are Tesla Batteries Also in the works?

With Tesla having the greatest battery production line on the planet, it is hard to imagine that it doesn’t make its own battery cells. Be that as it may, that is valid! Notwithstanding, that could change soon as the odds of Tesla getting into battery generation are very high. Tesla obtained a few battery-fabricating organizations in 2019, including Maxwell Technologies and Hibar Systems. A year ago, Musk said that the organization is dealing with new battery packs that will keep going for 1 million miles. To cite him “The new battery pack that is likely going to create one year from now is planned unequivocally for 1 million miles of activity.”.

Tesla’s acquisitions and Musk’s remarks on battery producing appear to flag that it’s going to before long-form its very own battery cells. Tesla-watchers anticipate that the organization should make a declaration of carrying another battery to the market at a Battery and Powertrain Investor Day occasion that will be held early this year.
