The Tesla pickup is coming

Kostas Fouzas (kf@newsauto.gr)

Via Twitter Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, brings back to the fore the company's plans for its first pick-up model. Creating playgrounds for use by children with mobility problems and ensuring their access to all municipal structures and schools, confirmed that the said project will come to fruition and thus the production model will be released in the 2019 in the American market initially (where this particular category of vehicles records high sales figures). On a technical level now, we expect a fully electric pick-up, with four-wheel drive, great horsepower (0-100 km/h σε 6 sec approx) and autonomy that will reach 500 km.
From the electronically edited spy photos that have been published on the internet from time to time, like the one we present to you, it looks like the production model will retain Tesla's design identity up front, it will have a double-cab body and a large cargo area. In fact, sources from Tesla claim that their model will not lag behind in anything compared to the traditional players in the category.
End, note that the first Tesla pick-up will have all the technological elements with which the company equips its models (among them an autonomous driving system).

The interpretation behind the brands of car companies

In a car what is it that takes up little space on the hood or steering wheel and yet means a lot to its owner; A symbol! Famous car brands that you don't have to “you know what it's called” because its sign alone is characteristic. But what is hidden behind each brand and its emblem; A man, a bow tie, a helix, an animal, a zodiac sign, an acronym, a translation, a coat of arms are some of the answers. Let's travel into the minds of the founders of the biggest car companies.

ALFA ROMEO
1910, Milan, Italy: A group of Milanese entrepreneurs founds the Lombardy Automobile Industry Anonymous (Anonima Lombarda Automobile Factory). Hence the abbreviation ALFA. A few years later, the Milanese businessman Nicolas Romeo buys a share in the company and the company takes the name by which it is known to this day as Alfa-Romeo. About the Alfa-Romeo brand, the red cross has a triple symbolism: is a symbol of Milan, it refers to the Crusades and finally it is the most widespread Christian symbol. Representatives of the company do not want to discuss the importance of the second half of the brand, which depicts a snake eating a young man, symbolizing the defeat of the Crusaders.
AUDI
1909, Tsvikau, Germany: The surname of the founder of AUDI, August Horsch, in Latin it translates as “Audi” which means “to listen”. In the emblem each of the circles symbolizes the merger of the four oldest car manufacturers of Germany's Auto Union (Αudi, DKW, Hark, Wanderer). Similarity to Olympic emblem prompts Olympic Committee to sue AUDI for trademark infringement, although as it turns out the Commission lost.

Development tests of the renewed Auris have already begun and despite the fact that everyone is waiting for a completely new generation, the Japanese claim that there is still an interesting intermediate stage before we reach the new generation.

Alcohol is a risk factor for rosacea in women

It is known that red wine can make rosacea worse (rosacea) to those who already have it, γι’ this should be avoided by those who do not want to have a red face. But a new American scientific study also blames white wine, as it indicates that it increases the risk of giving a woman the specific inflammatory skin disorder that "flares up" the face for the first time.

Detailed prognosis: 

Alonso causes!

Δεν είναι η πρώτη φορά που το κάνει ούτε η τελευταία, το ερώτημα είναι η Honda γιατί το ανέχεται; Ο Φερνάντο Αλόνσο δεν έκανε καριέρα ως καλό παιδί. From his early years in F1 to today there are too many examples where he has been disrespectful as well as rude. That never did him any good, on the contrary, it created a lot of trouble for him.
ΤΟΥ ΤΑΚΗ ΠΟΥΡΝΑΡΑΚΗ
Θυμάμαι Κυριακή πρωί στη Μόντσα το 2006, τον Αλόνσο να λέει πως ηF1 δεν είναι πια άθλημα”. Ο Ισπανός θεωρούσε πως άδικα του είχε επιβληθεί ποινή 5 θέσεων επειδή είχε κλείσει το Μάσα την προηγούμενη μέρα.
Θυμάμαι μια Πέμπτη απόγευμα στο Μονακό έχει τελειώσει η δουλειά και φεύγουμε από τα πάντοκ μαζί με τους τεχνικούς του Alpha. The Spaniard comes with his girlfriend at the time, later his wife, today his ex-husband to take his scooter. We smile, he doesn't reciprocate… he's got the stand stuck in the building's ventilation grill. He puts down the bags he's holding, he tries to release it he can't. I offer to help, we make it, το σκηνικό έχει γίνει αντιληπτό από κάποιους φωτογράφους που αρχίζουν να τραβούν εικόνες. Πάει να φύγει σα παλαβός, ξεχνά τις τσάντες του φωνάζω, τις δίνω, φεύγει χωρίς ευχαριστώ…
This scene is indicative of Alonso's approach to things. There are thousands of other examples like what happened to 2007 at McLaren. They had the best car and Alonso instead of competing with Hamilton on the track, preferred Stepneygate. He leaves McLaren badly and returns to Renault. The 2008 first race in the history of Singapore Alonso wins with the help of Piquet. But he didn't know anything about it’ this…

Honda is investing in the Civic

The tenth generation of the Civic family benefits from the largest global development program for a model in Honda's history. The car has been designed to exceed European standards and expectations – to meet the demands of all global regions where the Civic will be sold.
Honda's European production plant, Honda UK Manufacturing (HUM), will become a global production hub for the tenth generation Civic hatchback. Honda has made an investment 200 million pounds in new technologies and production processes in preparation for the new model. This will be exported worldwide, even in the US. The investment is part of a long-term vision for the European plant in Honda's global operations.
The Civic is an important model for Honda in Europe and is a key contributor to its strong sales and production history in the region. For many European customers, the Civic is synonymous with the Honda brand. Το νέο Civic hatchback συνεχίζει αυτή την παράδοση και θα παίξει καθοριστικό ρόλο για να επιτευχθούν οι στόχοι πωλήσεων της Honda στην Ευρωπαϊκή ήπειρο.
Το εργοστάσιο της HUM κατασκεύασε τον πρώτο του κινητήρα το 1989 και το πρώτο του αυτοκίνητο το 1992. Τώρα περιλαμβάνει δύο Μονάδες παραγωγής οχημάτων και μία εγκατάσταση παραγωγής κινητήρων. Άλλες περιοχές των εγκαταστάσεων προορίζονται για πίστες δοκιμών, εργαστήρια δυναμικών και στατικών δοκιμών, αλλά και τμήματα διοίκησης και προμηθειών.
