ABSTRACT
Cost
It is 3-5 times less expensive to drive per mile than even
fuel efficient ICE cars (Internal combustion engine car)
and the maintenance of the car is minimal considering the
number of moving parts in the car and components that
could wear down are a small fraction of an ICE. There are
no oil changes, belts to replace, spark plugs or wearable
components other than brakes and tires. There is some
concern that millions of ICE car workers could be put out
of a job because the car simply doesn’t need maintenance
like ICE cars do and if at home charging takes off then
many thousands of service stations might go out of business
as well. That’s disruptive. Since the car has so few moving
parts the body can be built with no-compromise
aerodynamic and safety considerations.
Safety
The Tesla was ranked by the NTSA and Consumer
reports as the safest car ever built and the most
efficient. The NTSA had their “car breaking” machine
broken by the Tesla. The Telsa broke the machine after
applying a force equivalent to 4 Teslas stacked on the roof
of the car the machine ran out of steam. The NTSA also
was unable to flip the car since the Tesla battery is
positioned on the floor. The car had a safety rating that
was higher than any other car ever tested overall and in all
5 categories it tests for. No passenger in a Tesla has been
seriously injured or killed in its short history so far as far as
I can tell and Elon has said this as well. Recent reports of
fires have not been life threatening or injurious to anyone.
SENSORS USED
The Future
Privacy concerns with the Tesla include the fact you can
know where it is and what you are doing and going to as
well as how you get there. People could potentially learn
your driving habits or even potentially figuring out you
went through a stop sign. The car links to your cell
phone and therefore has access to contacts and other
information. A virus infected car could deliver this
information to unscrupulous people potentially.
Security
Privacy broaches security if for instance using the API
someone could find and open the car. If valuable things
are in the car this could compromise security as well. I
believe like others that Tesla should implement a 2-factor
authentication scheme sooner rather than later for the car.
CONCLUSION
