Tesla, it’s more than just a car. Tesla is the future of zero emission energy. We were lucky enough to have a presentation from two people who work at Tesla in our science lesson on Thursday 25th April. They spoke to us about the future of Tesla and how their plan is to go from cars to energy suppliers. The things that were spoken about closely relate to those in which we are already learning in our GCSE science lessons. Energy stores and the enhanced greenhouse effect were amongst the mentioned subjects. We found out that power packs can be used to conserve energy that is not used during the day so it can be used in times of need such as power cuts or in South Africa during load shedding. We were also told that there is enough wind power to supply the whole of England. We had the incredible chance to see a high-end Tesla car up close and personal. We found out that the cars are all made onsite in mega factories to reduce the carbon emission on each and every car. It was compared to making a toy car. The batteries in each car can also regenerative braking where the car can regain some charge when using the brakes. It was incredible to see how a car can make so much difference and impact on the environment.
