电动汽车陷入低迷 知名企业家家艾隆•马克斯最近获得了一项历史性的胜利，他的太空探索科技公司（Space Exploration Technologies）发射的宇宙飞船成功完成了历时九天的航天任务，为国际空间站（the International Space Station）补充给养，成为第一架漫步太空的商用航天器。 相比之下，如何让他那家刚刚起步的电动汽车公司获得成功，倒是摆在面前的一个更大的挑战。就在他的特斯拉公司（Tesla）准备发布全新车型的时候，公司的销量突然急转直下。 对于一家刚刚起步的汽车厂商来说，成功的道路不可能一帆风顺，处处都有激流和暗礁。比如不称职的供应商、无可更改的政府法规、资金不足，以及数不清的其它障碍。今天，我们将带领大家看看最近九家电动汽车厂商及供应商的近况如何。 |
Electric blues Entrepreneur Elon Musk recently scored an historic triumph when the space capsule launched by his Space Exploration Technologies completed a nine-day mission to resupply the International Space Station. Getting his fledgling electric car company off the ground is proving a bigger challenge. Tesla sales have screeched to a halt while it gets ready to launch its first all-new model. For a fledgling motor manufacturer, there are many potholes on the road to prosperity: incompetent suppliers, immovable government regulations, insufficient financing, and an infinite number of others obstacles. Here's a look at how nine recent EV manufacturer and supplier startups are faring. |

特斯拉汽车公司 请在日历上标注出这个日子：6月22日。特斯拉汽车公司（Tesla Motors）最新款的Model S电池动力汽车将从这一天开始发售。Model S并没有沿用Roadster的莲花（Lotus）轿车平台，而是经过彻底重新设计，然后由特斯拉在通用汽车（General Motors）的一家旧工厂里生产。特斯拉公司表示，计划到今年年底售出5,000台Model S。要想填补资金的大坑，Model S只能成功，不能失败。因为今年第一季，度特斯拉公司净损失了8,990万美元，营收入只有3,020万美元。投资者将密切关注特斯拉公司。不过得益于分析师的热情推荐，从特斯拉的股票来看，它的市值已经达到了36亿美元。 |
Tesla Motors Mark it down on your calendar: June 22 is the date when Tesla is due to begin deliveries of its Model S sedan. Unlike its Roadster, which was adapted from a Lotus design, the battery-powered Model S is all new from the ground up and built by Tesla in an old General Motors plant. Tesla says it plans to deliver 5,000 Model S's by the end of the year. It will need to in order to dig out of a deep financial hole: a first-quarter net loss of $89.9 million on revenue of only $30.2 million. Investors will be watching closely. With its share price propped by favorable analyst recommendations, Tesla has a market cap of $3.6 billion. |
