In general, the plans of Tesla's management resemble science fiction stories. First, they announce the design of ultra-high-speed transport capable of reaching 1220 kilometers per hour, then they talk about an autopilot for their cars. Now an amphibian. What's next?
In fact, the amphibian project is not a priority for Tesla. After all, it's an opportunity to show the level of versatility in the thinking of the company's management and engineers. "We will make only a few units. We can do it," Musk stated. In reality, there is nothing difficult about moving all the internals from the Model S into another body that can not only drive but also float.
Let us remind you that Tesla's model lineup includes two electric vehicles - the Tesla Roadster sports car and the Tesla Model S sedan, which was tested by Autoportal. This car is offered with a choice of three electric motors with power outputs of 302, 362, and 416 horsepower. The base version can reach 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds, while the top version does it in 4.4 seconds. The Tesla's range is up to 480 kilometers.
In the near future, according to Tesla representatives, the public will be presented with the Model X crossover and a new firmware for the Roadster.
