I-Tesla ivumile ukuvula inethiwekhi yayo yokushaja ezimotweni zikagesi okungezona ezakwaTesla ngemuva kokuthi uhulumeni wase-US ethe uzowukhokhisa umthethosivivinywa.
U-Elon Musk, isikhulu esiphezulu sikaTesla, uthembise ukuthi uzohlinzeka ngamashaja angena kalula angama-7,500 e-US ngasekupheleni kuka-2024, ngokusho kwezikhulu zokuphatha iBiden. Amadola abakhokhintela azokhokhela ukuguqulwa kwamashaja akhona e-Tesla noma ukwakhiwa kwamasha ukuze kuhlaliswe izimoto ezakhiwe ngabakwaFord, GM, Hyundai, Kia, Volvo, Volkswagen nezinye abakhiqizi bezimoto zikagesi.
Isivumelwano sikaTesla siyingxenye yohlelo lwabaphathi beBiden luka-$7.5-billion lokuxhasa amashaja e-EV angama-500,000 kulo lonke elase-US, ikakhulukazi emigwaqweni emikhulu ngezikhathi ezingamamayela angama-50. Ukusetshenziswa kwemali kugunyazwe yiCongress ngo-2021. Imininingwane eyengeziwe imenyezelwe ngoLwesithathu ekuseni. Isabelo sikaTesla salowo pie asidalulwanga.
Inethiwekhi kaTesla yokuphathelene neSupercharger ingenkulu kakhulu futhi ithembeke kakhulu emhlabeni, futhi ithathwa njengenzuzo ebalulekile yokuncintisana komenzi wezimoto. Ngokuvula inethiwekhi yayo kubantu bangaphandle, nokho, i-Tesla ibekwe endaweni yokukhulisa imali engenayo yokushaja kanye nemikhawulo yenzuzo. (Inkampani yayithe izokhokhisa amanani aphezulu ngokukhokhiswa okungeyona i-Tesla uma futhi ivula inethiwekhi.)
Njengamanje, i-Tesla inikeza amachweba wokushaja angu-28,000 eziteshini ze-Supercharger e-US kanye nama-40,000 emhlabeni jikelele.
Kunamazinga amabili ajwayelekile okushaja imoto kagesi e-US – ekaTesla nawo wonke umuntu. Isizathu esiyinhloko sokungahambisani uhlobo lwepulaki yeshaja engena endaweni yokushaja yemoto kagesi. Izinga lomkhakha laziwa nge-CCS, elikhulu kunenguqulo kaTesla enokulungiswa okuhlukile kwepulaki. Ukuthi i-Tesla izowahlomisa kanjani ama-Supercharger ayo ukufinyelela okuvulekile akukacaciswa.
U-$7.5 billion uzosatshalaliswa phakathi kwabakhiqizi bamashaja, abanye abakhiqizi bezimoto, amaketanga okudayisa, abathuthukisi bomhlaba kanye nabanye abafanelekela ukuthola uxhaso lwamashaja omphakathi. Kuze kube isimemezelo sabaphathi ngoLwesithathu ekuseni, bekuwumbuzo ovulekile ukuthi ngabe uTesla uzofaneleka yini ukuthola noma yiziphi izimali. Ngokwehlukana, uTesla angase afanelekele uxhaso lweshaja ezinhlelweni zikahulumeni eCalifornia.
Ukuthi uMusk uzohlangabezana yini nokuzibophezela kwakhe kuka-2024 kungenye indaba. UMusk unomlando omude futhi okhulayo wezithembiso ezingafezekanga, izinsuku eziwumnqamulajuqu kanye namadili avuselelwe. Kufaka phakathi isibikezelo sakhe sokuthi uTesla manje uzobe esebenzisa inethiwekhi yesigidi samarobhothi angashayeli, isimemezelo sakhe sokuthi inkampani izoba neloli emakethe ngo-2021 kanye nomzamo wakhe wokuhlehla ekuthengeni i-Twitter.
Umkhulumeli we-White House uthe azikho izinkontileka ezisayiniwe noTesla. Abaphathi kwesinye isikhathi baba nobudlelwano obuqinile nenkampani ngemuva ngaphandle kwakho kusukela emcimbini obubanjwe ukukhuthaza ama-EV.
Futhi akucaci: inani lentengo amakhasimende angewona awe-Tesla kuzodingeka alikhokhe ukuze athenge ugesi ku-Supercharger. U-Tesla ubezama ngamashaja okufinyelela okuvulekile emazweni ayishumi nambili eYurophu nase-Australia, lapho amakhasimende okungewona awe-Tesla akhokha inani eliphezulu.
