Uma kukhona imoto ephakamisa okulindelwe, i-Tesla Model 3. Yethulwe ngo-2016, iqale ukukhiqizwa ngoJulayi nonyaka futhi inohlu lokulinda lwamakhasimende ayingxenye yesigidi. Izinkinga ziyaqhubeka ukuze umugqa wokukhiqiza uhambe "umusi ogcwele", no-Elon Musk, i-CEO ye-Tesla, ekhuluma "ngesihogo sokukhiqiza".
Ekupheleni kuka-September kuphela amayunithi angama-260 Model 3 ayesekhiqiziwe futhi wonke alethwe kubasebenzi bohlobo lwaseCalifornia - abasebenzi bazoba "abashayeli bezindiza abavivinya" ukuze basheleleke emaphethelweni emodeli entsha ngaphambi kokuqala ukudiliva, ekupheleni kwale nyanga, kumakhasimende azimisele.
Izinkulungwane eziyi-150 zamadola… ingabe yonke into iyahlanya?
Okungazange kuvimbe i-Craiglist ukuthi ivele, okwamangaza wonke umuntu, isikhangiso sokuthengiswa kwe-Model 3 (VIN #209) eseceleni engaphezudlwana nje kuka-3200 km. Le yunithi emhlophe ifakwe zonke izinto ongazikhetha ezifanele: umthamo webhethri elikhudlwana - elikhuphula ibanga libe ku-500 km -, i-panoramic sunroof, amasondo aerodynamic kanye ne-premium sound system. Okusha okuthengiwe kuzolingana namadola ayizinkulungwane ezingama-56, ngaphezudlwana kwama-euro ayizinkulungwane ezingama-47.
Imodeli 3 yokuqala ukufinyelela ezigabeni, kodwa ukushaqeka kuvele enanini elibuzwayo: 150 izinkulungwane zamadola , okulingana nama-euro acishe abe ngu-127 000! Ingabe imakethe efuna iModel 3? Ngemali efanayo ebesingayithenga, entsha, iModel S enamandla kakhulu noma i-Model X futhi sisenesikhwama semali esigcwele.
Umkhangisi uvumile ukuthi isidingo salo modeli sisobala futhi ubengazi ukuthi uzobeka malini - wakhetha into ewumbudane. Ngokwazi ukuthi wonke ama-Model 3 kuze kube manje angabasebenzi benkampani yokwakha, isikhangiso sanyamalala phakathi namahora ambalwa. Ingabe lesi sisebenzi siye sasolwa ngu-Elon Musk ngokwakhe?
Ngokulindele lezi zinhlobo zezimo, u-Tesla ubhekisela kuzo kwinkontileka ye-oda ngabasebenzi bakhe:
[…] wonke amamodeli 3 ahamba phambili ngabasebenzi kufanele abhaliswe kusisebenzi noma ilungu lomndeni futhi awakwazi ukuphinda adayiswe ngemali engaphezu kwenani langempela.
Ngaphandle kwentengo yokubuza engenangqondo, asizange sazi ukuthi umkhangisi uthole noma yikuphi ukunikezwa “kwethilamu yabantu”.
