Ngokusho kwemibiko yabezindaba bakwamanye amazwe, umlingani weTesla ocwaninga ngamabhethri, ilabhorethri kaJeff Dahn, muva nje ishicilele iphepha ngamabhethri ezimoto zikagesi, elixoxa ngebhethri elinokuphila kwesevisi okungaphezu kwamakhilomitha ayizigidi ezingu-1.6, elizoshayelwa ngokuzenzakalelayo. Itekisi (iRobotaxi) idlala indima ebalulekile. Ngo-2020, iTesla izokwethula le module entsha yebhethri.
Ngaphambilini, i-CEO ye-Tesla u-Elon Musk ukhombe ukuthi uma ushayela itekisi elizishayelayo, lezi zimoto kumele zibe nezici eziqinile ukuze zikhiqize izinzuzo ezanele zomnotho. UMask uthe izimoto eziningi kulesi sigaba zizoklanywa kucatshangwa ngamakhilomitha ayizigidi ezingu-1.6 ezinhloso zokusebenza, okuhlanganisa ukuklama, ukuhlola nokuqinisekisa amayunithi okushayela izimoto, wonke asebenzela umgomo wamakhilomitha ayizigidi ezingu-1.6, kodwa empeleni iningi lempilo yebhethri yezimoto zikagesi alikwazi ukufinyelela amakhilomitha ayizigidi ezingu-1.6.
Ngaphambilini ngo-2019, uMusk waveza ukuthi impilo yenkampani yamanje ye-Tesla Model 3, umzimba wayo kanye nesistimu yokushayela ingafinyelela amakhilomitha ayizigidi ezingu-1.6, kodwa impilo yesevisi yemojuli yebhethri ingu-480,000-800,000 km kuphela phakathi.
Ithimba locwaningo lwebhethri le-Tesla lenze ukuhlolwa okuningi kumabhethri amasha futhi lisebenzise izindlela ezahlukahlukene ukuhlola imbangela yokwehla kokusebenza kwebhethri. Kubikwa ukuthi ibhethri elisha lizokwandisa ukuqina kwebhethri elisetshenziswa yi-Bitsra kabili kuya kwezintathu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngisho nasendaweni yokushisa ephezulu kakhulu yama-degree Celsius angu-40, ibhethri lingaqedela imijikelezo yokushaja nokukhipha engu-4000. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uma ifakwe uhlelo lokupholisa ibhethri le-Tesla, inani lemijikelezo yokushaja nokukhipha engaqedwa yibhethri elisha lizokhula libe ngaphezu kwezikhathi ezingu-6,000. Ngakho-ke, iphakethe lebhethri elihle lizofinyelela kalula impilo yesevisi yamakhilomitha ayizigidi ezingu-1.6 esikhathini esizayo.
Ngemva kokwethulwa kwetekisi elizishayelayo, imoto izohamba yonke indlela emgwaqweni, ngakho-ke umjikelezo wokushaja nokukhipha cishe u-100% uzoba yinto evamile. Esikhathini esizayo sokuhamba kwabantu, izimoto zokushayela ezizimele nezikagesi zizoba yizinto ezivamile. Uma ibhethri lingafinyelela impilo yesevisi engamakhilomitha ayizigidi ezingu-1.6, lizonciphisa izindleko zalo zokusebenza, futhi isikhathi sokusebenzisa sizoba side. Esikhathini esingeside esidlule, abezindaba babike ukuthi iTesla yayizama ukwakha umugqa wayo wokukhiqiza ibhethri, futhi ngokukhishwa kwephepha elisha eqenjini locwaningo lwebhethri, iTesla izokhiqiza leli bhethri ngokushesha elinempilo yesevisi ende.
