2. INTRODUCTION
MISSION
Tesla was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers who wanted
to prove that people didn’t need to compromise to drive electric
– that electric vehicles could be better, quicker and more fun to
drive than gasoline cars. Today, we build not only all-electric
vehicles but also infinitely scalable clean energy generation and
storage products.
We believe the faster the world stops relying on fossil fuels and
moves towards a zero-emissions future, the better. Tesla’s products
offer a complete solution – sustainable generation, storage and
usage – all capable of being powered by the sun. We envision a
world powered by solar energy, running on batteries and
transported by all-electric cars.
Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable
energy.
The world cannot reduce CO2 emissions without addressing
energy generation and consumption. And the world cannot
address its energy habits without directly reducing emissions in
the transportation and power sectors. This issue is Tesla’s entire
reason for existing. We are focused on creating a complete power
and transportation ecosystem from solar generation and energy
storage to all-electric vehicles.
3. INTRODUCTION TO TESLA
MODEL-S
Tesla’s advanced electric
powertrain delivers
exhilarating performance.
Unlike a gasoline internal
combustion engine with
hundreds of moving parts,
Tesla electric motors have
only one moving piece: the
rotor. As a result, Model S
acceleration is instantaneous,
silent and smooth. Step on the
accelerator and in as little as
3.1 seconds Model S is
travelling 60 miles per hour,
without hesitation, and
without a drop of gasoline.
Model S is an evolution in
automobile Industry.
In year 2009, during the Frankfurt Motor Show, the company revealed
the Tesla Model S, a new and improved all electric-car. By June 2012,
the Tesla Model S was available for the general public to acquire. The
Tesla Model S is the current Gold standard we are using for an electric
car. This specific model is considered the first fully electronic luxury
sedan. The car boasts superior technology to its competitors, providing
peak performance statistics in terms of mileage and emissions of
pollution. Tesla Model S’s Swappable Production coupled with its ever-
growing Super Charger Network has made consumers gain confidence in
the efficiency and feasibility of owning an all-electric powered car. In
addition to these factors, this specific model’s chic styling and safety
record has allowed the car to quickly gain popular support, where other
manufacturers have failed. With its clear competitive advantage, Tesla
Model S epitomizes the idea of a fully electric car and hence serves as
the unit of analysis for our research

7. AERODYNAMICES: Air drag can affect the cruising ability of pure electric vehicles, especially in the
case of high-speed driving. Tesla’s design and engineering teams have gone
to extraordinary lengths to ensure that air flows smoothly above, around
and below Model S to reduce drag, which in turn maximizes battery range.
The smart air suspension lowers the car’s height at highway speeds to
reduce its frontal area.
Model S door handles are a work of art. When a key is in close proximity,
they automatically extend. When no longer in use, they retract into the
body of the car, creating a seamless surface for air to pass over.
A carbon fiber spoiler provides Model S with incredible aerodynamics and
the lowest drag coefficient of any vehicle in its kind.
8. FRAME DESIGN:
BODY AND CHASSIS SYSTEM
The chassis design Tesla uses
was originated by Borboni-
Bird when he was at the GM
AUTOnomy Lab.
UNIBODY FRAME
The ideal design they came up with is the so-called ‘skateboard
chassis’ which houses the entire large battery pack.
The skateboard is a viable approach for Tesla and pretty much any
EV because the drivetrain has few components and takes up less
space. It has the benefits of freeing up space for the passenger
cabin, the inherently lower center of gravity improves handling
and the increased crumple zones and the battery pack
increase crashworthiness

10. CHASSIS DETAILS:
BRAKES:
Anti-Lock Brake System:
Regenerative Braking:
Model S has an anti-lock braking system (ABS) that prevents the
wheels from locking when you apply maximum brake pressure. This
improves steering control during heavy braking in most road
conditions.
During emergency braking conditions, the ABS constantly monitors
the speed of each wheel and varies the brake pressure according to
the grip available.
The alteration of brake pressure can be felt as a pulsing sensation
through the brake pedal. This demonstrates that the ABS is
operating and is not a cause for concern. Keep firm and steady
pressure on the brake pedal while experiencing the pulsing.
Whenever Model S is moving and your foot is off the
accelerator, regenerative braking slows down Model S and feeds
any surplus energy back to the Battery.
By anticipating your stops and reducing or removing pressure
from the accelerator pedal to slow down, you can take
advantage of regenerative braking to increase driving range. We
can also set range of regenerative breaking based on our
requirement.

11. SUSPENSION SYSTEM:
Air Suspension:
Auto-Raising
Suspension:
Adaptive Air Suspension offers a superior ride quality and allows
you to choose a softer or firmer ride based on your preference.
When carrying loads, the system also maintains a level height
between the front and rear. You can manually adjust the ride
height to suit your circumstances (for example, you can raise
Model S when driving at low speeds when you need extra
ground clearance, such as when driving on a steep driveway or
ramp, in deep snow, over large speed bumps, parking curbs,
etc.). You can also specify the default ride height when driving at
higher speeds.
Auto-raising suspension saves you from manually having to raise
the suspension every time you arrive at a frequently-used
location where you have previously raised the suspension.
Whenever you raise the suspension to HIGH or VERY HIGH,
Model S saves the location. When you return to the saved
location, Model S raises the suspension.
Front Breaking System Independent, double wishbone, air spring or coil
spring/telescopic damper, sway bar
Rear Breaking System Independent, multi-link, air spring or coil spring/telescopic
damper, sway bar (air suspension vehicles only)
12. STEERING SYSTEM:
TYRES: Performance variants of the Model S P85D and P90D utilize a
low rolling resistance and high performance tire made by
Continental that’s designed specifically to reduce tire noise
through the use of sound absorbing foam. This tire technology
can reduce rolling noise by up to 9dB and limit the level of
sound that reaches into the cabin.
The Model S uses the ContiSportContact 5P high performance
tire that’s outfitted with a sound absorbing polyurethane foam
attached to the inner tire. This allows the tire to maintain
the same level of grip, steering response and wet performance,
but also roll substantially quieter.

ACTIVE HOOD:
SPEAKER PEDESTRIAN
NOISE:
TESLA MODEL S ACTIVE
HOOD:
Model S features a pyrotechnically-assisted pedestrian
protection system that reduces head injuries to pedestrians
and cyclists in a frontal collision. If the sensors in the front
bumper detect an impact with a pedestrian when Model S is
moving between 19 and 53 km/h, the rear portion of the
hood automatically raises approximately 80 mm. This creates
space between the relatively soft hood and the hard
components beneath to absorb some of the impact energy in
a collision.
Artificial sound is generated when vehicle is at low speed i.e.
during traffic, the sound will warn the pedestrian about the
incoming vehicle
17. ACTIVE SAFETY: ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM
The Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) automatically
adjusts the beam of the headlights to improve your driving
view. Electric sensors measure driving speed, steering angle
and yaw (the rotation of the car around the vertical axis) to
determine the optimum position of the headlights based on
current driving conditions.
CHILD PROTECTION LOCK
Model S has child-protection locks on the rear doors and
liftgate to prevent them from being opened using interior
handles. Use the touchscreen to turn child-protection locks on
or off.

upgrade, the horn sounds in situations where a locked door
or trunk is opened and Model S does not detect a key
nearby. If the Tilt/Intrusion setting is on, the horn also
sounds if Model S detects motion inside the cabin, or if the
vehicle is moved or tilted (for example, with a tow truck or
jack).
PIN to Drive:
To increase security, you can prevent Model S from being
driven until a 4-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) is
entered.
Sentry Mode:
For added security, Sentry Mode continuously monitors
your vehicle’s surroundings by keeping its cameras and
sensors powered on while the vehicle is locked and in
Park. When in Sentry Mode, Model S may go through
three states depending on its surroundings: Standby,
Alert, and Alarm.
Model S automatically enters the Standby state when
you enable Sentry Mode. In the Standby state, the
vehicle’s cameras are constantly monitoring its
surroundings. If the vehicle detects a threat, such as
someone leaning on Model S, Sentry Mode switches to
the Alert state.
In the Alert state, the touchscreen displays a message
indicating that the cameras are recording the event. For
major threats, such as someone breaking a window,
Sentry Mode triggers the Alarm state. When in the Alert
state, Sentry Mode saves the last ten minutes of video
footage prior to the event that triggered the Alert state.
