A few days ago the head of Tesla Motors Elon Musk выступил the participants of the event Automotive News World Congress , held in Detroit. During his speech, he made a number of interesting statements that relate directly Tesla Motors and the company's products, and other companies.

In particular, the mask has decided to return the rear lighting. Moreover, the decision was made after a child of the mask called Tesla Model S «the stupidest car in the world" because of the lack of lighting, which can be used for reading.

But this is not the most interesting announcement mask. In particular, he reported on the planned output of Tesla Motors profit only in 2020. The Head of the company did not disclose the exact number sold this year EVs, saying only that the planned number of sales 33,000 electric vehicles has been achieved, moreover, was sold "much more electric than planned).
