Tesla Noise
2017 timelineThe year in brief
Tesla Motors renamed itself Tesla, Inc. in February and began Model 3 deliveries in July with more than 500,000 reservations, though the ramp fell far short of plans (Tesla reported 220 Model 3 deliveries in October). The Semi truck was shown in November, Tesla built the 100 MW Hornsdale battery in South Australia, entered the Fortune 500 for the first time and for a couple of months was worth more than Ford and GM.
Im Februar benannte sich Tesla Motors in Tesla, Inc. um und startete im Juli mit über 500.000 Reservierungen die Auslieferung des Model 3, blieb beim Hochlauf aber weit hinter den Plänen zurück (im Oktober meldete Tesla 220 ausgelieferte Model 3). Im November wurde der Semi-Lkw gezeigt, in Südaustralien baute Tesla den 100-MW-Speicher Hornsdale, kam erstmals in die Fortune 500 und war für einige Monate mehr wert als Ford und GM.
En febrero Tesla Motors pasó a llamarse Tesla, Inc. y en julio empezó a entregar el Model 3 con más de 500.000 reservas, aunque el aumento de producción quedó muy por debajo de lo previsto (en octubre Tesla informó de 220 Model 3 entregados). El camión Semi se mostró en noviembre, Tesla construyó la batería Hornsdale de 100 MW en Australia Meridional, entró por primera vez en la lista Fortune 500 y durante un par de meses valió más que Ford y GM.
En février, Tesla Motors est devenue Tesla, Inc. et a commencé en juillet à livrer la Model 3, forte de plus de 500 000 réservations, même si la montée en cadence est restée très en deçà des prévisions (Tesla a annoncé 220 Model 3 livrées en octobre). Le camion Semi a été présenté en novembre, Tesla a construit la batterie Hornsdale de 100 MW en Australie-Méridionale, est entrée pour la première fois au Fortune 500 et a valu pendant quelques mois plus que Ford et GM.
2 月，Tesla Motors 更名为 Tesla, Inc.；7 月开始交付 Model 3，预订量超过 50 万辆，但产能爬坡远低于计划（特斯拉在 10 月报告仅交付 220 辆 Model 3）。11 月发布 Semi 卡车；特斯拉在南澳大利亚建成 100 兆瓦的 Hornsdale 储能电站，首次进入《财富》500 强，并有几个月市值超过福特和通用汽车。
