Pakistan To Elon Musk: We Want A Tesla Factory

January 7th, 2020 by Johnna Crider

Federal Minister for Science and Technology of Pakistan, Fawad Chaudhry, has a message for Elon Musk: “Dear Elon Musk your next destination may be Pakistan where 68 percent of the world population lives within 3.5 hours flight radius from Islamabad,” he shared on Twitter.

There is even an offer on the table for Tesla — a 10 year zero-tax facility and custom-free importing for the factory setup. This is actually pretty awesome if you look at it from a business owner’s perspective.

There are some comments to the minister’s tweet that mention Osama bin Laden — the truth is that no one country is 100% without a past, and I believe that as a world, we can grow from hating one another to loving one another. Yes, Pakistan has a bit of history, but Elon’s influence is felt worldwide and I believe his mentality should be embraced globally.

The people of Pakistan would definitely benefit from having a Tesla factory, and perhaps having a factory there and selling Tesla vehicles could bring electric vehicles to places in the region that desperately need it and help with neighborly relations in that regard. Remember, the mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. For Tesla to do that, factories will need to be in many places of the world. Pakistan’s tax incentive packed as offered by Minister Chaudhry now makes it a more compelling place.

Minister Chaudhry mentioned something else as well. Pakistan is the world’s third-largest freelance software exporter. In other words, Pakistan has a lot to offer Tesla on the technology side of the coin.

In an opinion piece by the New York Times back in 2015, Bina Shah wrote about Pakistan’s potential to be the next software hub. She writes that Pakistan’s I.T. sector “is carving a niche for itself as a favored place to go for freelance I.T. programmers, software coders and app designers.” She also mentioned that there were 1,500 registered I.T. companies in Pakistan at the time.

That was five years ago. In 2019, Forbes listed Pakistan and the 4th fastest growing freelance market in the world. Freelance covers quite a bit (I am a freelance writer, for example, as well as a freelance artist), and I.T. is definitely included in that definition. Whether or not Elon decides to open a factory in Pakistan has yet to be determined, but the offer is definitely there and the world can benefit from having more Teslas in it. We certainly expect Tesla to build more gigafactories in the coming decade.

Raindrops On White Tesla Model Y Performance (Spy Video), + Different Tesla Model Y Designs Raise Questions

January 7th, 2020 by Cynthia Shahan

There is so much Tesla news breaking of late. And some Musk dances along with it.

Still, there’s more big news to come, especially regarding the Model Y, and the question of whether it is right for you and your family or job. It appears that many do think so. The Model Y is the next technologically brilliant, useful vehicle that Tesla is putting into production for the masses to adopt, something in between the Tesla Model X and Tesla Model 3. It is like a mild but active middle child, needing little attention as it jumps into the flow of things. The Cybertruck is now the youngest, and has quickly stolen the spotlight, but don’t underestimate or forget about the Model Y.

Luckily, we are getting more and more views of the Model Y in the real world, like the recent photos above from our own Kyle Field in Oxnard, California. Below is another video glimpse of the Y, perhaps useful for those musing about a Model Y future. Although there are raindrops on the Model Y, the video offers a bright, clear look at the Model Y Performance prototype. This siting emerges from San Luis Obispo, California.

A driver with a camera noticed it sublimely as he was passing by a parking lot. (Think I’ll go back for a second take.) The rain adds a nice, natural, artistic touch, with the high-definition video capturing the white glow and smooth curves so well. The black and silver accents of the 100% electric SUV make it look that much beautiful.

The coming year promises to be a good one. More zero-emissions vehicles help everyone’s air quality, protecting our health. Elon Musk said the Model Y would be coming in “summer 2020,” yet it seems like things are quickening day by day with Tesla. Maybe it will be coming earlier than that — limited production should start happening in this quarter (Q1 2020), according to information some on our team have garnered.

If a key appeal of the Model Y (over the Model 3) is that you get to ride a bit higher from the ground, take a look at a height comparison between a Model 3 and Model Y charging next to each other. Thanks to C@559FresnoState for these spy shots (hat tip to Iqtidar Ali).

And a hat tip is due to Iqtidar Ali at X Auto again, who pointed out that some keen Tesla enthusiasts noticed two distinct Model Y prototypes featuring different hatch openings.

Ali suggest that one of the trunks is more angled, offering a wider opening of the trunk. Ali believes that this is a design decision that was taken late in the prototype stage.

Ali continues, “The other stunning white Model Y prototype recently spotted in San Luis Obispo, CA also has the new trunk design, looks like this change has also affected the rear fender from where it molds and the rear bumper design as well.”

If you haven’t noticed it yet, the white Model Y seen in the pic above is also the one in the video higher up and is the one Kyle Field photographed in Oxnard. It’s been getting around.
