Electric Tesla S passed 1 billion miles
The company Tesla sent reporters a press release and on its website opened a new page , devoted to a kind of jubilee: electric Model S three years have passed Distance 1 billion miles (1,609,344,000 kilometers).
For a clearer idea of this figure, infographics site says that the distance of 1 billion miles - it is the same distance that had to be overcome, to fly to the moon 4186 times. Or exactly the same figure would show the odometer in a car after 2000 years in the way.
The volume of fuel that would be needed for such a journey would require the driver of 10 years of continuous refueling his car. In addition, the Model S electric vehicles thereby prevent the release into the atmosphere of 570,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
In April of this year in its press release said Tesla , that the first quarter of 2015 were sold 10,030 electric cars (though the statistics include all the machines at once with the Model S). The growth in sales compared to the previous year was a significant figure of 55%. It is noteworthy that, as the company sells directly to consumers, their statistics are much more accurate than those of companies that use the services of dealers. Exact figures on the Model S is unknown, but in June, the company can bring number of sold cars to 77 000 units, despite the fact that the plant operates at full capacity.
In the Chinese market, the company Elon Musk still observed problems . How reported on Geektimes earlier this year, top managers of the Chinese division Tesla could lose their seats if not correct the situation with the sales: buyers purchased a total of 120 electric vehicles.
