The great philanthropist, billionaire, and CEO of Tesla Motors, Elon Musk, spoke this week about his current desire for the next generation of Tesla electric cars to be completely independent. Musk believes that his ‘popular’ electric car model will reach the highest level of autonomous driving, potentially eliminating pedals and even the steering wheel. The high expectations from the market and electric car enthusiasts are waiting for the arrival of Tesla’s new ‘popular’ electric car model, which has had more details revealed throughout this week.

THE NEW 2021 MODEL 2 UPDATE

Indeed, Elon Musk always surprises everyone with his vision of the future, which often goes far beyond what we can consider “real.” The topic that surprised the media was Musk implying that the future electric car from his automaker might not even have a steering wheel or pedals.

The billionaire garnered everyone’s attention when he recently commented that Tesla would launch a very appealing electric vehicle, which will cost around US$ 25,000 and will be different, fully autonomous.

Estimate of Values for the Autonomous Electric Car

Even if the estimated value is US$ 25,000, Elon Musk highlighted that this price could be achieved due to the new cell developed by Tesla and the new improvements made by the automaker during the battery production process, which is a key factor in reducing the final cost by at least 50%, or even more.

The new entry-level popular electric car model from Tesla Motors will be entirely produced in China, where the teams working on the project and development of this specific model are located. The entry-level electric car will be assembled by the Shanghai Gigafactory, one of Musk’s partners, and will be exported directly to other markets around the world.

Without a doubt, this is an ambitious plan. The goal now is to get approval for the Full Self-Driving Beta software, which will roll out to its wider fleet in the United States by the end of September.

Once the software is operational, even if still under the control of a driver, Tesla will continue to refine the model. Data from the most recent fleet will be used, with the aim of making it safer than usual driving performed by us humans. The ultimate goal is to launch the car with the highest levels of automation and independence.

High Expectations Surrounding Tesla’s New Autonomous Electric Car

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.
