This Week in Tesla: Tesla Gives Updates on All Upcoming Projects in 2020 Q1 Earnings Call

Model S Should Supposedly Have 400 Mile Range

Wednesday, with the release of the Tesla Q1 earnings, came the Earnings Call, which they have each quarter and stockholders can ask questions to some of the high up employees and board members at Tesla. In mid-November Tesla released a new “Long Range” version of the Model S which had an EPA rated 391 miles of range. On the earnings call, Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated that the company already has a 400 mile range car. Musk claimed that during the EPA range testing for the Long Range Model S, while the car was stopped, the key was left inside the car and the door was left open. This caused the car to stay on whereas if the door was closed and the key was taken out of the car, it would have powered off and not lost any range during this time. Musk also claimed that once this pandemic passes, the EPA will retest the car, likely finding that the range is 400 miles or above.

Cybertruck Factory Location to be Announced Shortly -

It was announced last month that Tesla was scouting possible locations for the Cybertruck factory in the Midwest. It was revealed on the Earnings Call that Tesla will be announcing the location of the upcoming factory as soon as next month. The company is known to have scouted Nashville Tennessee, Joplin Missouri, and Wichita Kansas.

Elon Musk Hypes Tesla “Battery Day” -
