GM tem grandes chances de comprar a Tesla neste ano, apontam analistas



Analistas da empresa de consultoria Praxis Trading fizeram uma explanação sobre as principais tendências que devem ocorrer ao longo de 2014 no mercado automotivo com uma observação importante sobre a General Motors. De acordo com Yra Harris, um dos consultores da empresa, a gigante de Detroit, por meio de um planejamento considerado pra lá de estratégico, vai tentar adquirir a fabricante de elétricos Tesla.

Em entrevista concedida à CNBC, Harris afirmou que a compra é consideravelmente possível, mas não revelou detalhes ou fontes que reforcem sua previsão. No entanto, outros especialistas do mercado afirmam que a hipótese é pouco provável. “A Tesla está seguindo de vendo em popa, com vendas acima da média, ótima capitalização e recentemente inaugurou novas concessionárias e estações de recarga. Não há porque Elon Musk vendê-la”, dizem.

Pra que vender uma empresa que está a todo vapor, encaminhando pra dar lucro?

Sem contar que IMHO a tesla é mais que uma simples empresa ou fonte de renda pro criador. É quase um hobby.

[Ramiel]

Elon Musk já disse q nem pensa em vender enquanto ele não conseguir emplacar o carro elétrico de 25k. Enquanto eles não conseguirem vender um carro popular nos EUA ele não vai vender. E não é q ele está precisando de grana agora

[AlvoErrado2]

Mas já vi notícias anteriores sobre a tesla, que diziam que ele estaria disposto a se associar a um grande grupo, no caso ele não venderia a empresa mais ganharia um sócio com mais capital para investir, mas deve ser mais uma especulação.

aí faz mais sentido, mas acho q ele não abre mão de ser CEO da empresa.

[Rodolfo]

Pois é.

Pelo menos a idéia que eu tenho desse cara na minha cabeça é que ele seja completamente egocentrico, mais ou menos como um Tony Stark.

Tesla Supercharger wins AOL Autos Tech of the Year award



The votes are in, the ballots have been counted and the envelope is open. Together with our partners at AOL Autos, we're proud to announce the winner of our second annual Technology of the Year award. After having awarded the inaugural prize last year to Chrysler for its UConnect infotainment system, this year we've selected the Tesla Supercharger network as the top technological advancement in the automotive industry.

While enthusiasts will likely associate the name "supercharger" with forced induction, Tesla has successfully redefined the term to apply to its increasingly sprawling network of charging stations across the country. Drive your Model S up to one of the 54 such stations in the United States, and you can be on your way with a half charge in just 20 minutes, instead of the full eight hours it usually takes. With much of the industry and government still wringing its hands over a lack of infrastructure for alternative fuels, Tesla has taken the reins and is working to fix the problem itself.

The winner was selected from a compelling list of candidates by a jury including editors from AOL Autos, Autoblog, AutoblogGreen, Translogic and even Engadget. The Tesla Supercharger beat out such contenders as Chevy's MyLink Valet Mode, Infiniti Backup Collision Intervention, Volvo Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection, Mopar In-Vehicle Wireless Charging and Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive to claim the hardware, which was presented at this week's CES show in Las Vegas.

Tesla sending free replacement wall charger adapters after garage fire



Tesla Motors is about to mail off a lot of packages. The California-based electric vehicle manufacturer is going to send out replacement, upgraded wall charger adapters to customers with official Tesla charging units. The reason is a recent garage fire that involved a Tesla Model S and a company wall charger, even though fire investigators said that the car was not responsible and Tesla said the wall unit did not play a role in the blaze.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in an interview with Bloomberg today that replacement adapters will be mailed out in the next two weeks. Musk said fires and overheating adapters are "very rare events, but occasionally the wiring isn't done right. We want people to have absolute comfort, so we're going to be providing them with an upgraded adapter." The new adapter has a thermal fuse that will shut off if it gets too hot. Musk did not say why the original wall charger adapter apparently did not have a thermal fuse in the design. AutoblogGreen has asked Tesla how many adapters will be sent out and if this is a global or US-only replacement program, but as of press time, we have not received a response. We're also not sure if this will trigger a recall - the adapter is not, technically, part of the car - and hope Tesla can clarify this point soon.

Tesla's first reaction to that garage fire in November was to update its charger software to automatically reduce the charge current under certain circumstances. To date, that incident in Irvine, CA is the only garage fire involving a Tesla wall charger that has been made public, but there are multiple reports of Tesla wall chargers heating up and melting, (see here, here or here), so it appears Tesla is trying to be safe rather than sorry.

Tradução: A Tesla vai enviar um novo carregador de parede para os donos do Model S q agora tem um fusível para desarmar o carregador em caso de sobrecarga. O novo carregador foi feito depois de um incêndio numa garagem em Irvine, CA, enquanto um Model S estava recarregando. A Tesla vai mandar a nova peça mesmo com a investigação sobre o incêndio não apontar nem o carro nem o carregador como os culpados pelo incêndio. A Tesla não soube responder porque o carregador já não vinha com o tal do fusível desdo início.

Superchargers power Tesla Model S EVs for over 8M miles



Ahead of the company's press conference at the Detroit Auto Show tomorrow, Tesla is talking up its Supercharger network with some impressive numbers. Tesla's Alexis Georgeson told AutoblogGreen that Tesla Model S EVs have driven more than eight million miles on Supercharger fill-ups. That's the equivalent of 33-and-a-half trips to the moon and back.

We can see how quickly the free Superchargers are getting popular by comparing this milestone to where we were four short months ago. At the end of September, after the Superchargers had been installed for a year, Tesla drivers had hit 3.2 million miles. The rapid increase since then is due mostly to there simply being a lot more chargers being available now. Tesla representatives told us that there are over 70 Supercharger stations in the world today (58 in North America and 14 in Europe) and that six were installed in the past week. Georgeson didn't have numbers on hand to say which stations were the most popular or other details, but did say that it's safe to assume that the Supercharger in Lusk, WY (pictured), part of a sweeping 'S' shape from Los Angeles through the northern US and on to Chicago and the East Coast, is not the most frequently visited. The next target for expansion is finishing the Boston-to-Miami corridor, which means putting in more Superchargers in North Florida and South Carolina. At CES last week, the Supercharger network won our AOL Technology of the Year award.

Tradução: A Tesla afirmou, antes de começar o Salão de Detroit, q os Tesla Model S já rodaram mais de 8 milhões de milhas (ou 12,87 milhões de km) abastecidos pelas estações Supercharger da Tesla. A rede Supercharger cresceu muito, sendo que agora 58 estações na América do Norte e 14 na Europa. No momento a Tesla está tentando terminar o corredor Boston-Miami.

Tesla recalling 29,000 Model S wall chargers to prevent overheating

Tesla's big wall charger adapter replacement program is about to get a lot bigger. For one thing, the replacement has become an official recall. Secondly, the number of affected adapters is higher than expected: 29,222 units.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration officially announced the recall today. Tesla says that the problem lies in "certain NEMA 14-50 (240 volt) Universal Mobile Connector (UMC) adapters" and that the problem is that the adapter, cord, or wall outlet can overheat during charging. This possibility came to light in a garage fire in California in November and has resulted in some melted adapters since then.

As we know, step one in solving this problem was an over-the-air software update (version 5.8.4 or later) that would shut off charging if things got too hot in November. Then, late last week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said his company would send out the replacement wall adapters that has thermal fuses built in. We wondered at the time if this would lead to an official recall, since the charging unit is not, technically, part of the car. It has, even though at the Detroit Auto Show today, Tesla representatives testily said that the even if NHTSA calls it a recall, Tesla just calls it modern technology (Update: and now Elon Musk is chiming in on Twitter). You can read the entire recall notice below and find more details in in the letters between Tesla and NHTSA in this gallery. Tesla says just 2.7 percent of its UMC adapters had been returned because they were defective.

The word "recall" needs to be recalled.

- Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 14, 2014


Tesla has had recalls before, bringing the Roadster in for auxiliary cable issues and the first for the Model S because of seat latch problems. This new recall doesn't mean that Tesla has sold 29,000 Model S EVs – people could have purchased one for home and work, or not bought one at all – but it does imply that the number of Model S units sold is inching close to the 30,000 milestone. We should know more when the company releases Q4 2013 information next month.

Tradução: A Tesla está mandando o carregador de parede com o novo fusível, conforme eu postei a uns dias, para 29 mil carros. A imprensa e a NHTSA estão chamando isso de recall, a Tesla está falando q não é recall. Pelo fato de não se algo relacionado ao carro em si, fica a dúvida.

Tesla Model S sells 6,900 units in Q4, eyes top of the charts



Tesla Motors sold roughly 6,900 of its battery-electric Model S sedans during the last three months of 2013, making it the country's best-selling plug-in vehicle during the fourth quarter.

The California-based automaker beat independent sales estimates by about 20 percent and increased its quarterly sales rate from the third quarter by about 25 percent. More notably, Tesla's fourth-quarter sales beat those of Nissan Leaf EV (6,534 units), and the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug in (6,334). For the year, Tesla sold about 22,300 vehicles, putting it just behind the Volt's 23,094 vehicles and the Leaf's 22,610. Heck, Tesla sold more green cars last year than Honda, which moved about 20,600 battery-electric, hybrid and plug-in vehicles, combined.

Investors were certainly happy with the news. Shares of TSLA were up around 16 percent in Tuesday trading, closing at $161.27. The news release was conveniently timed to change the story from the issues Tesla has regarding its wall chargers and what's believed to be their potential role in a garage fire. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said earlier today that more than 29,000 of Tesla's wall charger adapters were being recalled. You will find Tesla's press release on Q4 sales numbers below.

Tradução: O Tesla Model S é o carro plug-in mais vendido dos EUA nos últimos 3 meses, com 6.900 unidades vendidas. Vendeu mais que o Nissan Leaf (6.534 unidades) e que o Chevrolet Volt (6.334). No ano, no entanto, as 22.300 unidades perdem por pouco para as 23.094 unidades do Volt e as 22.610 do Leaf. Vendeu mais que todos os híbridos e plug-ins da Honda combinados, que somaram 20.600 unidades. As ações da Tesla subiram 16% depois do anúncio.
