ROADSTER I LOVE ELON MUSK
10:56 AM - 14 Feb 2018
]
Tesla’s next-generation Roadster was recently spied testing at the Fremont
factory test track. A short video clip, posted to Twitter by Shehryar Khan?
on February 14, featured the $250,000 all-electric supercar launching off
the line. Quite interestingly, the vehicle’s windows were down and brake
squeal, common with high-performance carbon ceramic discs, could be heard as
the Roadster prototype came to a stop. As the car prepared to accelerate,
Khan and his friends wondered if the next-gen Roadster’s driver would go for
a full 0-60 mph launch in 1.9 seconds.
Just a couple of seconds after that, the electric supercar demonstrated its
impressive acceleration from a standstill, though the community largely
agreed that it wasn’t a full launch test. Especially as it was nowhere near
the acceleration that was seen in one Youtuber’s video when they
demonstrated what Maximum Plaid mode looks like in real life.
This week has proven to be quite eventful for fans of the next-generation
Roadster. As we mentioned in a previous report, the Tesla Roadster 2020 was
recently placed on display at the company’s headquarters in Palo Alto, CA.
While the car was not driven around then, photographs of the vehicle were
taken and shared online. A Tesla enthusiast who goes by the handle u/Casey_S
on Reddit managed to take more than 20 photos of the upcoming vehicle,
including its unique steering wheel and what seemed to be cameras mounted on
the vehicle’s side aero ducts.
The next-gen Tesla Roadster is, apart from being the fastest, most
impressive vehicle in the California-based firm’s offerings, a successor to
the car that started it all for the company. During the reveal of the
vehicle last year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk emphasized the role the original
Roadster played for the electric car maker.
“We started Tesla with a sports car — the Tesla Roadster. That baby got
us going. It was the foundation of the whole company.”
Looking at the specs of the next-generation Roadster, it seems like the
upcoming all-electric supercar will be able to carry Tesla well into the
next few years.

Renault upgrades Zoe with more powerful electric motor

2018 - Renault ZOE
]
The Renault Zoe got its big model year update a year ago with an updated
~200 miles range on a 41 kWh battery pack.
This year it gets a smaller, but still welcomed update with a slightly more
powerful electric motor.
The French automaker unveiled the new R110 electric motor for the 2018
model-year Zoe.
They described the motor in a press release today:
“The new R110 motor is the latest fruit of Renault’s electric motor
development and production strategy and further evidence of the expertise in
this field of Europe’s number one electric vehicle manufacturer. The
all-Renault R110 – an evolution of the R90, developed in just two years – is
made in France at the make’s Cléon plant in Normandy and was designed by
engineers working out of the Renault Technocentre, southwest of Paris, as
well as in Cléon. In addition to carrying over the R90’s outstanding energy
efficiency, the R110 packs a combination of electrical machine- and power
electronics-related innovations that have yielded an extra 12kW with no
increase in either weight or volume.”
Those 12 extra kilowatts don’t make the Zoe a powerful beast, but an 80kW
output is plenty for a vehicle in this segment.
Elisabeth Delval, Assistant Director of the Renault Zoe Programme, commented
on the update:
“Thanks to this power boost, ZOE is even more responsive and versatile
when used for journeys out of town. In addition to being able to enjoy the
pleasure of driving a ZOE, drivers will also benefit from the longest range
available for a mass-market electric car.”
Renault also introduced a few other features to the Zoe with the 2018
version, like Android Auto and a new metallic body color called Blueberry
Purple.
The updated Zoe will be available to order next month – starting in France,
where the vehicle is the best-selling EV and holds over half the market.
Renault is getting close to hitting 100,000 Zie units produced to date and
the vehicle is also the top-selling EV in several European markets.
