Singaphezu kokusetshenziselwa izikhundla eziphikisanayo kanye nezimemezelo ezinesibindi zenhloso ngu-Elon Musk, umqondisi omkhulu kanye "ne-technoking" e-Tesla, kodwa usomabhizinisi waseNingizimu Afrika usakwazi ukusimangaza.
Ngesikhathi kumenyezelwa imiphumela yekota yokuqala yonyaka, uMusk uveze ukuthi Imodeli ye-Tesla Y cishe izoba imoto edayiswa kakhulu emhlabeni.
Umkhiqizo waseMelika awuzange udalule ukuthengiswa ngakunye kwamamodeli alo, kodwa kulo mcimbi ukuqinisekisile ukuthi uthengise amakhophi ayi-182,780 we-Model Y ne-Model 3 engxenyeni yokuqala ka-2021.
Ecashunwa ngabakwaFox Business, uMusk udalule ukuthi iModel Y ingase iwine isicoco sezimoto ezithengwa kakhulu emhlabeni “mhlawumbe ngonyaka ozayo”, kodwa wabuye wathi: “Anginasiqiniseko ngo-100% ukuthi izoba ngonyaka ozayo, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi kungenzeka kakhulu".
Uma sibheka ukuthi ngo-2020 imoto edayise kakhulu emhlabeni kwakuyiToyota Corolla, edayiswe amakhophi angaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-1.1 - yehle ngo-10.5% uma kuqhathaniswa no-2019, ngenxa yalolu bhubhane - nokuthi ngo-2020 I-Tesla ithengise "kuphela" izimoto ezingu-499 550 (kuhlanganisa lonke uhla lomkhiqizo), saqaphela ngokushesha ukuthi ngeke kube lula ukuqinisekisa lesi sithembiso sikaMusk.
U-Tesla ubikezela ukukhula kwaminyaka yonke kokukhiqizwa kwama-50%, okuthi, uma kuqinisekisiwe, kuzomele izimoto ezingaba ngu-750 000 ngo-2021 kanye ne-1 125 000 ngo-2022.
Kodwa-ke, uma ukuthengiswa kweToyota bekuzobuyela emazingeni "avamile" ngo-2022, i-Tesla ngeke idinge nje ukudlula lezi zibikezelo zokukhula, kuzodingeka inikele konke ukukhiqizwa kwayo ku-Model Y ukuze ifinyelele umgomo manje owethulwe nguMusk.
Khumbula ukuthi iTesla Model Y ikhiqizwa ezimbonini zikaTesla eFremont, California (USA) naseShanghai, eChina. Kepha uMusk ukuqinisekisile ukuthi amayunithi okukhiqiza e-Austin, eTexas (USA), naseBerlin, eJalimane, azobe esesebenza ngesivinini sohambo ngonyaka ozayo. Ingabe kuyokwanela ukukhahlela iModel Y esihlokweni semoto edayiswa kakhulu emhlabeni?
