 Question 1 The Tesla model 3 has material and delivery costs

Question 1 The Tesla model 3 has material and delivery costs of about 17.000 and production costs of about E10.000. Assume an average sales price of E40.000. Assume the same costs and sales price for the Model 3. The upfront investment has been $500 million. How many vehicles does Tesla have to sell before recouping their investment? Vehicles Question 2a Lets have a look at battery degradation. Assume that for every fast charging session the battery degrades 0.05%. Every charging cycle is for empty to full with a battery pack of 100kWh. For this case we assume an efficiency of 0.2 KWh/km and annually 20.000km driven. What is the remaining capacity of the battery after 5 years if the driver only uses fast charging? Give your answer in percentages. % Question 2b Now assume that with slow charging the battery only degrades 0.02% per session. The driver only uses slow charging. What is the remaining capacity in the same situation? % Question 2c Now assume a mix of 20% fast charging and 80% slow charging. What is the remaining battery capacity? %
