Audi R8 V10 Race Taxi med Jacky Ickx bakom ratten

Written By nyit on Sunday, January 31, 2010 | 11:56 PM


The V-10 is into the meat of its powerband now, fusing my helmet to the headrest as it blazes to its 8700-rpm redline, the race-tuned R8 feasting hungrily on straightaway, the engine’s searing exhaust note ricocheting off the carbon-fiber dash like a machine gun firing in a window factory. Ahead -- not very far ahead at all -- a sharp left turn looms. Normally, I would do something about now, but my legs don’t move. Nor do my hands. In fact, they’re in my lap, as they have been for the past minute or so. Zero point five second to impact.

IP Uh-Oh: Tesla Filing Reveals Roadster Production to End in 2011


Electric automobile purveyor Tesla filed paperwork for a $100 million IPO with the SEC earlier today, and after deeper scan of the 173-page form S - 1, the company looks to be treading on very narrow ice. The filing has revealed that not only will the company stop making its only automobile -- the Lotus Elise-based Roadster -- in 2011 because Lotus will be retooling its plant to make way for a new Elise/Exige line, but also that it's no solid agreements in place for further development or procurement of electric powertrain components with third-party suppliers. While the company hopes to have a new Roadster on the road by 2013, the discontinuation of the present automobile means Tesla would have no vehicle to sell for the better part of five years -- unless of coursework its proposed Model S sedan magically appears in 2012.


It is no secret that the future of the company rides on the success of the Model S & Tesla says that it already has 2000 orders. However, 2012 is less than six years away & the company still does not have a way of actually building the sedan. In fact, the company lists 11 assumptions that it is operating under with regards to the launch of the Model S:

The filing -- specifically, the 39-page-long "Risk Factors" section -- makes Tesla's entire operation look shaky as it includes far over the usual warnings about outside factors that could affect a company's business.

It generally takes established automakers that do not must worry about supplier contracts, facility procurement, & government permits at least two years to bring a new vehicle to production, so they fail to see how Tesla is going to produce the Model S by 2012, barring a minor miracle. The company admits that it does "not have a full production intent prototype, a final design, a manufacturing facility or a manufacturing method."

* that they will be able to identify & secure an appropriate facility for the manufacturing of our Model S;
* that they will be able to secure the funding necessary to build out & equip the manufacturing facilities in a timely manner, including meeting milestones & other conditions necessary to draw down money under our loan facility with the DOE;
* that they will able to create & equip the manufacturing facilities for the Model S without exceeding our projected costs & on our projected timeline;
* that the equipment they select will be able to accurately manufacture the vehicle within specified design tolerances;
* that our computer aided design method can reduce the product development time by accurately predicting the performance of our vehicle for passing relevant safety standards, including standards that can only be met through costly crash testing;
* that they will be able to receive the necessary permits & approvals, including those under the Indiana Environmental Quality Act & the National Environmental Owner Act, as well as building & air quality permits, to comply with local zoning, environmental & similar regulations to operate our manufacturing facilities & our business on our projected timeline;
* that they will be able to engage suppliers for the necessary components on terms & conditions acceptable to us & that they will be able to receive components on a timely basis & in the necessary quantities;
* that they will be able to deliver final component designs to our suppliers in a timely manner;
* that they will be able to attract, recruit, hire & train skilled employees, including employees on the production line, to operate our Model S manufacturing facility;
* that they will be able to maintain high quality controls as they transition to an in-house manufacturing process; &
* that they won't experience any significant delays or disruptions in our supply chain."

Furthermore, the production of the Model S also depends on Tesla finalizing a quantity of agreements with Daimler (which has a little stake in the company) that would result in the Italian automaker providing it with access to parts as well as engineering help. There's also clauses that would permit Daimler to terminate all of its agreements should current CEO Elon Musk leave the company or invest in another automaker.

Even if Tesla manages to overcome the multitude of hurdles in its way, it remains a mystery as to how it would make money in the time that passes between the finish of the present Roadster & the launch of the Model S.

Instruction for buyers of car parts

Body kit for muscle car

Car fans may be in a position to get the details of new car accessories from various web sites. There are very many web sites that offer comprehensive information to consumers of the car accessories. One may also find new car accessories from auctions that take place online (eBay, or other). Internet sellers can also offer new accessories at lower prices since their overheads are essentially less.

Only original car accessories

Once the car accessories have been selected, one can shop around and compare the various price offers. Due to special demands for these types of things, one will find many shops offering the unique parts. Before buying at Internet market, ensure that you gain a full information regarding the car accessory since one may come across unfair sellers who claim to have the most original car accessories and charge exorbitantly for them.

HID Kits

Find out the add-ons to the accessories being bought by inquiring from persons who have purchased the parts to avoid buying other accessories that may not necessarily be part of the main accessory that is required.

Trust only to authoritative dealers!

The accessory should be inspected properly to ensure that it is as ordered. This will guarantee from sellers who require one to sign on the receipt waving their right to return such parts in case they are faulty or non-standard. For people purchasing in online store this option of returning faulty parts may not be available. Such purchases therefore should only be from a dealer who is really reputable.
