Because they tax quite attractive, you stumble in the Netherlands almost over the Tesla’s. In Amsterdam, the elektrowaggies even in use as a taxi. Logical that Tesla for the Netherlands chose as a location for the factory down to plempen. How’s it going there?
The Model S is already a few years on the market (can someone feel the Tesla Roadster, remember?), but yet you see them barely used for sale. Like it so well that you ‘m to always keep? If you are enthusiastic believers and Maarten Steinbuch, and Leo the Hare must believe, you would think so.
Wouter’s test of a Tesla Model S stems again from 2012. I drove myself last year with a P85D, that when 700 horsepower delivered. To range anxiety, organized the brand’s First European Tesla Rally. The intention was to have a large piece of Europe to drive, with Amsterdam as the destination. The starting point was changed from Copenhagen to Munich and later from Munich to Milan, then from Milan to London, and eventually dropped Tesla me from Bunnik to Amsterdam drive to demonstrate that an electric car really fat far can drive…
The 700-hp Tesla Model S P85D which I did, interestingly enough, even with “only” 469 hp. Previously had Tesla namely, simply the ability of the electric motors together, but now that has changed. The batteries have not the capacity to use the motors at the same time their maximum power to be delivered. However, customers have not complained that their cars ‘suddenly’ more than 200 hp less, says spokeswoman Berith Behrens. “It is a theoretical discussion, we have noticed. The performance of the car are unchanged. The Model S is still the fastest from 0 to 100 accelererende four-door production car in the world. She adds: ‘For the background of the horsepower in an electric-powered car in comparison with a car with an internal combustion engine, I refer to the presentation of our CTO, JB Straubel.’ It is logical that the customers there are not a lot of problem, because although the ability is now on paper is lower, the cars are, in practice, of course, still exactly the same speed.
About the production of the Model S in Tilburg, the factories don’t want to get lost many of them. “About exact numbers with regard to production per market, we do not comment,’ it sounds. What we do know is that in september 2015 a second factory in Tilburg was opened, which is the maximum capacity grew from 225 cars per week to 450 copies. That maximum capacity is still not reached. Behrens is still one little thing lost about the factory: “We are going to also be a Model X in Tilburg assemble.’
Really talkative is Tesla does not, as you see, but everything seems to go well with the brand. Fortunately, because the Model S kicked it up to Autoblog car of the year 2013. All we have — to be honest — just a little prefer with the exception of Elon Musk than a Model S in 3.0 seconds to the 100 sprint.
