The Tesla pickup is coming

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).

Driving autonomy is long overdue

Mercedes-Benz lands us in reality and drops the ball on Tesla

TEXT: IRINI MOUSTAKARIA

Because all car manufacturers indulge in recent p’ an impressive game about self-propelled vehicles and the feats they perform every day in the workshops and on the roads, Mercedes-Benz decided to put things right. It supports, Well, that fully autonomous vehicles will become a reality in at least ten years.
The German brand's Head of Test Identification, Jochen Haab, revealed that self-driving systems are currently bogged down’ between the level 2 and 3 and they are far from flat 5 which is the top.
'To have that level of automation where you sit in the car at point X and tell it to go to point P - you might as well have programmed it in advance- the moment you write on your laptop and it tells you in a short time 'ok you can download', ten years away from becoming a reality’ says Haab. And it complements: It is still late for the level systems to be installed 5 in such cars. The only exception is Tesla, which has already installed them and is conducting its official tests..
Now we are not sure if the German is pointing at’ this way his admiration for Tesla or throws down the gauntlet to present its achievements. It is known that the Germans have been accusing the American company of misleading marketing and empty words for years now. Haab in fact, he does not hesitate to send a message in any direction: 'We are of the opinion 'either the best or nothing’ and we leave nothing to chance'.
