Tesla Noise
2021 timelineThe year in brief
Tesla became a US$1 trillion company in October and moved its legal headquarters to Gigafactory Texas on December 1. It dropped radar for camera-only "Tesla Vision" from May, revealed the refreshed Model S in January, sold its two-millionth car in September and started selling FSD as a monthly subscription. NHTSA opened a formal investigation into Autopilot crashes in August.
Im Oktober erreichte Tesla einen Börsenwert von 1 Billion US-Dollar und verlegte am 1. Dezember den Firmensitz zur Gigafactory Texas. Ab Mai verzichtete Tesla auf Radar und setzte nur noch auf Kameras („Tesla Vision“), zeigte im Januar das überarbeitete Model S, verkaufte im September das zweimillionste Auto und bot FSD erstmals als Monatsabo an. Im August leitete die NHTSA eine förmliche Untersuchung zu Autopilot-Unfällen ein.
Tesla alcanzó en octubre una capitalización de un billón de dólares y el 1 de diciembre trasladó su sede legal a la Giga Texas. Desde mayo dejó el radar por un sistema solo de cámaras («Tesla Vision»), en enero presentó el Model S renovado, en septiembre vendió su coche eléctrico dos millones y empezó a ofrecer FSD como suscripción mensual. La NHTSA abrió en agosto una investigación formal sobre accidentes con Autopilot.
Tesla a atteint en octobre une capitalisation de 1 000 milliards de dollars et a transféré le 1er décembre son siège social à la Giga Texas. À partir de mai, elle a abandonné le radar pour un système uniquement à caméras (« Tesla Vision »), a présenté en janvier la Model S remaniée, vendu en septembre sa deux-millionième voiture électrique et proposé FSD sous forme d'abonnement mensuel. La NHTSA a ouvert en août une enquête formelle sur des accidents impliquant l'Autopilot.
特斯拉于 10 月市值达到 1 万亿美元，并于 12 月 1 日将法定总部迁至得州超级工厂。自 5 月起，特斯拉取消雷达，改用纯摄像头方案（“Tesla Vision”）；1 月发布改款 Model S，9 月售出第 200 万辆电动车，并开始以月度订阅方式提供 FSD。8 月，NHTSA 对 Autopilot 相关事故展开正式调查。
