Elon Musk has a habit of it: infrequently send a mysterious tweet about his company Tesla. In the early Sunday morning twittered that he Thursday would hold a press conference on the removal of “range anxiety” when the Model S

.

Musk seemed to suggest in the tweet that Tesla remote software update will run on the Model S. S drivers would have then run on a charged battery than is now possible.

How does it work exactly is wait. But earlier claimed Tesla remotely the maximum speed of the cars, and improved warning systems and automatic braking system, writes Quartz. The price of Tesla went after the tweet 4 percent.



Is the range a problem?

However, the tweet is a bit weird, because if you have somewhere not suffer from Tesla is the range anxiety, writes Matthew Debord of Business Insider. Range anxiety is the fear of electric drivers that the batteries of their cars almost at the end of their tether, and they have nowhere to charge.

The range of CURRNT Tesla S is 333 to 435 kilometers. This is much better than other e-cars that are now on the market. Moreover Tesla in the United States is working hard to expand its network of charging stations.



We are tech, really

For now, it is speculating about where the press conference will be exactly on . But Debord looks an image-trick in Muskegon. Lately namely very emphasis on Tesla as automaker.

Is the company able to actually significantly increase its production and thus meet the high demand? Tesla may break as a car for the masses? And while only 2 percent of the workforce Tesla has a background as a traditional car manufacturer -. From 60 percent to staff members with a software background

But Musks tweet the focus is again briefly Tesla as a tech company. “I can not escape the impression that Musk trying (…) to emphasize that Tesla shares part of Silicon Valley, and not the rest of the Stone Age-car business,” Debord.
