Chinese EV maker Xpeng, a company that is wholly owned by Ford, is now shipping its hotly anticipated Tesla Model 3 to customers in the US. Xpeng claims that this is the first time they are building an electric vehicle for the US market.
To build this car, the company wanted to see what it would take to produce an electric vehicle that could easily fit into the already over-crowded SUV category of car. In this case, Xpeng aimed to build a sedan car that had a six-speed transmission that would allow it to be able to go up to 60 miles per hour in about five seconds. The vehicle uses electric motors and can reach top speeds of approximately 130 miles per hour.
The Model S has been very popular in the US, but with the new EV, they have outpaced it by about a month. A year ago, the company hoped to begin production within two years. With more people wanting an EV, the company hopes to be ahead of its competition. The company says that more than 500 units have been ordered, with more orders expected each day.
Xpeng is hoping that this popularity will translate into success in the American market. They also claim that they will soon be selling in China, the most significant demand for SUVs. They can now add another electric vehicle to their already established line up, which will be great for sales and profits.
One of the most notable environmental benefits of owning an EV is the fact that they will not only reduce pollution from vehicles on the road, but it will also reduce carbon emissions from humans as well. This means that you will be taking care of the environment in a big way, and it is something that should not be taken lightly by any consumer.
In addition to these eco-friendly benefits, Xpeng is also touting the fact that the Model S is a safer vehicle than other electric cars. That is to say, they will be able to offer passengers a chance to travel longer distances without having to worry about any type of potential mishap.
As of right now, the electric version of the Model S is not yet available for purchase in the US. It is only being offered for deliveries by Xpeng until September. In the meantime, the company is providing free delivery to one customer.
Those who want to be one of the first in the world to own a luxury vehicle can request delivery by contacting Xpeng directly. You can also place your order online to have your car delivered to you as soon as it arrives.
