Tesla can make a car with 500-mile range but not now

Elon Musk said ” Currently Tesla is capable of making a car that has a 500 miles range on a single charge ” during the Baron Funds investor conference.

Tesla can make a car with 500-mile range but not now
So The company can make a long range car with current batteries. But why they don’t, Elon Musk said; ” the cost would be so much and vehicle would be too high”. They need to fill front, rear trunk and take a little bit space from the passenger room, if they fill these will places with batteries no doubt that car will go 500 miles with a single charge.And Elon Musk added this, within ten years the company would be able to make a car with the same range without changing the Model S structure, so same Model S but more range. Now the company not focused on how much energy the battery can produce, they focused on how they can make the same battery with the lower cost.
Now the current battery can go 300 miles with a rate of 65 miles per hour. Even this range is pretty good for most of the people. But real issue here is; if Tesla want go grow and became a strong company they need to sell more cars and not many people can afford a car that is $100.000 so that is why they focused on the battery cost. Elon Musk doesn’t give a exact number but they want to lower the cost %30 per battery, with their new giant factory they are planing to reach this number.
With the price reduction Tesla will be able to start making Model 3 in 2017, their low cost car which is planed to be between 30 – 40 thousand dollar.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 Lunch With Some Issues

Call Of Duty games are always the money earner for Activision, they broke records year after year. But last years Black Ops 2 sold less than MW3, Ghosts sold less than BO 2, and Advanced Warfare. Black Ops 3 could be different, Treyarch work on Black Ops 3 almost like 3 years, and they are accepting good number if not they will not a good sign for Call of Duty.  Black Ops 2 had one of the great multiplayer components and this old games have the ” Zombie ” mode which is awesomely fun.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 Lunch With Some Issues This season Black Ops 3 has an another important mission and that is the reversing the recent trend of downward Call of Duty sales which is going this last three years. And this holiday season’s Black Friday looks like will give a boost to this sales.  Black Ops 3 will be bundle with Ps4:

PlayStation 4 1TB Console – Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Limited Edition Bundle + $429, you can buy this bundle from Gamestop with $15.49 shipping, Target ( free shipping ), Toys R Us ( free shipping ), Walmart ( frees hipping ) and Amazon. And during Black Friday price of this bundle might be $299.

This bundle and Black Friday might help the sales of Black Ops 3 go up. But there are some problems with PS4 servers since launch, and too many player are upset because of experiencing connectivity issues, Activision just listed the problems at PS4 and PS3 servers other platforms are working just fine.

Activision currently working to solve this problems, and probably they will. Most of us love playing Call of Duty series but i am still hoping for new WWII games but looks like this will not be possible for a while.
