Elon Musk Says Tesla Cars Will Reach 620 Miles On A Single Charge “Within A Year Or Two,” Be Fully Autonomous In “Three Years”
Tesla CEO Elon Musk sat down with a Dutch TV show last week and had some interesting predictions to share.
Asked, for example, when he thought the company could produce a car that can “break 1,000 kilometers” (or 620 miles) on a single charge, he said his guess would be “within a year or two,” adding, “2017 for sure.”
As readers might recall, a new record was established last month by one enthusiastic Model S owner, who drove a painful 24-miles-per hour to make it a stunning 452.8 miles on a single charge. (The car is advertised as having a 265-mile range.)
Musk didn’t elaborate on whether someone would need to drive just as slowly to reach 620 miles in 2017. We’d guess that’s not what he had in mind, though.
Musk also said that self-driving Tesla cars are around the corner.

If they ever reach that goal, perhaps it will be time to give some serious thought to buying a Tesla. Oh, wait, they cost over 100k. Never mind....
