Electric Tesla Model S and Tesla Model X are available in versions with all-wheel drive - for each of the axes is allocated electric motor, and it can not only improve patency in winter conditions, but also add the vehicle stability in cornering and better distribute the thrust during acceleration .  The basic version  Tesla Model 3 can pass on a single charge up to 344 km, but the site Electrek, citing its own sources said that Tesla tests a prototype Model 3 with a drive on both axles and the battery
capacity of 70 kW • h. Â
Actually, this same resource has analyzed all the statements of Tesla representatives  Model 3 trim levels, and concluded that the company is not going to offer  electric vehicle with a battery capacity of 100 kW • h.  Even in the older equipment Tesla Model 3 will have a less capacious battery, and this is due not only to the need for  economy, but also less wheelbase.  The batteries are located under the floor between the front and an electric rear axle, so a compact sedan Model
3 will receive a less capacious battery traction. Â Hypothetical 3 Tesla Model 70D could pass without recharging up to 480 km, but the cost of the electric car is far from the base $ 35,000.
Generally, Elon Musk explained that all the "cars" electric Tesla (Model S, X, and 3) never get a battery capacity of more than 100 kW • h. Â This privilege may be worthy of the truck and pick-up, which are developed by the company. Â By the way, the lack of progress in battery capacity does not mean that the power reserve will not be able to increase in the course of improving the battery. Â They can increase the density of the charge storage, which is why the mass of the battery is
reduced, and the electric car can travel further on a single charge.
This month, Tesla will also stop for a week on their core conveyor plant to conduct routine maintenance of equipment, as well as to prepare for the beginning of serial production Tesla Model 3, which is scheduled for mid-year. Â In particular, it is planned to upgrade the paint complex already purchased some industrial equipment and preparing for installation of stamping equipment this month. Â Downtime conveyor Tesla promises to compensate by introducing before the end of the quarter extra shifts.
