The electric motor is the most inexpensive model Tesla car more powerful engine than the BMW M3



The company Tesla is going to be installed in its new electric Tesla Model 3 batteries, which are now produced on "Gigafabrike" from Nevada. New powertrains as the company promises will be more powerful and effective. The converter was designed from the ground up, the previous model, which worked in the same Tesla Model S, is not used. New everything here, including semiconductor elements of the system. The company's engineers managed to reduce the number of unique elements of the inverter approximately 25%, which allows you to reduce the cost of construction.


In addition, Model 3 received 435-hp electric motor. This was announced by the technical director of the Tesla. It's even more than the BMW M3, which is set a three-liter six-cylinder twin-turbo engine (maximum - 431 hp). Thanks to the powerful motor slowest modification of the model can accelerate to 96 kilometers per hour in just 6 seconds. In older models with the advanced mode Ludicrous Mode to accelerate to that speed it takes only 4 seconds.



Electronic components of the inverter (insulated-gate bipolar transistor)

Engineers of the company for several months working on a new inverter Model 3 capacity of 320 kW. The design of the inverter used bipolar transistors TO-247 with insulated gate. These electronic components used in the inverter designs for Tesla Model X and Tesla Model S. inverters production already started, run the production lines, and other components, as the company is going to put some 500,000 electric vehicles by 2018.



Without charging a new model will be able to pass from 340 to 400 kilometers, which is very good. Initially, the market will be supplied with the version of the power reserve of 340 kilometers, and then will be a model with a battery capacity of 80 kWh. With this battery electric vehicle can pass and 480 kilometers. In addition, the novelty receives autopilot. And though he did not turn in the electric robomobil, motorist assistance will be provided quite serious.

Now the company already is testing its new electric vehicle. For example, such a model recently photographed in one of the service centers. In appearance it is no different from the demonstration model.

Model 3 is shipped to customers will begin no earlier than the end of 2017. Preorders on electric received several times more than planned - at the moment more than 375 thousand. It is unclear whether Tesla Motors is able to handle the load without failure timing. It is possible that there will be setbacks terms. By Model X issues were still in the first quarter - instead of the 4500 electric company was able to deliver 2400. Nevertheless, Elon Musk promises to gradually increase production capacity to customers of any electric vehicle models receive their vehicles on time.
