The manufacturer of electric vehicles Tesla will decide from April 16 to eliminate the potential threat to expensive Models 3, which will appear in the second half of the year, and this threat is now the Model S model with a battery capacity of 60 kWh. In fact, the electric car has a battery of 75 kWh, but its capacity is limited programmatically, and the owner can always increase it for a surcharge.
According to Tesla, most buyers of the Tesla Model S 60 and Mode S 60D, ultimately, still pay extra for accessing the full capacity of the battery. The presence of the "extra" modifications of the Tesla Model S in the configurator complicates the ordering process.
Resource Reuters concludes that Tesla managed to raise 20% more funds during the recent offering of shares than planned. A total of 1.3 million common shares worth $ 350 million were sold, of which 95,420 were purchased by Elon Musk himself, the largest shareholder and founder of the company with a stake of about 21%. Another $ 850 million was brought by the sale of convertible bonds with a maturity in 2022. Thus, Tesla managed to raise $ 1.2 billion, which will be spent on current needs
and preparation for mass production of Tesla Model 3. Related Products :
