是啊它的定位确实是高端消费品据我了解他们的主要目标客户群是公众人物这类高收入人群理由很简单现在公众的环保意识日益增强对于公众人物来讲开一部环保的电动车出现在镜头里肯定要比开一部V12的超级跑车来得更体面更能赢得好感

Yes, it really is positioned as a high-end consumer product. According to my knowledge, their main targeted customer base is public figures, that is, the kind of people that typically have high income. The reason is very simple. The public awareness of environmental protection is increasing day by day. For public figures, an image of them driving an environmentally-friendly electric car definitely appears even more honorable and gives an even better impression that driving a V12 super sports car.
到底环不环保我看还是仁者见仁,智者见智吧如果从长远来看它可能相当绿色但放在今天它就不那么绿色了电动汽车不是烧汽油的所以它相当绿色这没错没有引擎没有油箱没有废气排放它基本上是零排放的但是如果考虑到汽车对环境的影响就不能只看排气管了特斯拉不是靠空气跑动的它用电而电来自不同的燃料如核电天然气还有最污染环境的煤

Whether it is environmentally friendly in the end or not, I still think people will have differing viewpoints. If you view it from the long-term, perhaps it is fairly green; but for the present, it isn't that green. Electric cars don't burn gas, so they are quite green. That's true. There is no engine, no gas tank, no exhaust emission. It has basically zero emissions. But if you consider the effect of the car on the environment, you can't just look at exhaust pipes. Tesla doesn't run on air, it uses electricity. And electricity comes from different fuels: for example, nuclear power, natural gas, and coal, which pollutes the environment the most.
