    BMW iM2 EV could blow away Tesla Roadster — with 1,300 horsepower

    I read/heard somewhere that 's it's getting to the point where it doesn't really matter how much more power you're putting in the car, the limiting factor is the wheels to road. Street legal wheels can only take so much before they shred. This is where the roadsters cold gas thruster circumvents...

    This site has affected my thought processes – not necessarily for the better

    Be careful you're following a very passionate bunch now. I started with the dual motor no FSD, now I'm at Dual Motor with FSD and seriously considering Trimotor + FSD if I can swing it when it comes time. Lots of good info here and there sure is a lot of it now. Congrats.

    Oil companies refuse to be left out of EV revolution!

    Basically they're poop'n bricks. They are losing or have lost a huge segment of the energy business. THey might make few bucks on charging stations, but if the prices are too high people will only use as a last resort. IMO they were banking on hydrogen that way they could produce H with fossil...

    Aptera

    Apparently from what I've heard cockpit is designed with similar tech to F1 racing. But yes that was my first concern as well, safety. It is a very cool design though. Although if I were to get a 3 wheeler it would definitely by a NOBE.

    Starship launch

    There is now way you could consider this test anything but an amazing success. They never intended for it to land successfully (Elon only gave it a 30% chance). By every metric: -collection of data -flight time -fin motors -belly flop -glide -kick out for vertical landing -getting back to launch...

    The curse of 'white oil': electric vehicles' dirty secret

    Plus up to 95% of the lithium can be recycled from expended batteries. Good luck recycling burnt hydrocarbons.

    Elon vs IG Metall Union - Who will win?

    I worked in a unionized pulp and papermill as a student. This mill has been operating since 1910, was once the largest pulp and paper mill in the world. The same mill is now on it's last legs and IMO in large part due to unions. I watched as staff fell asleep for 4 hrs of a 12 hr shift. When I...

    To merge or not to merge?

    Fake news, saw the interview and Elon was just being polite answering a question diplomatically. No scenario where it would make any sense for Tesla to merge with existing OEM. A battery producer, raw materials company, bleeding edge tech company maybe.

    TSLA will join S&P 500 on December 21!

    Yah, that 's always the case. Wish I could have bought more.

    Elon Musk and Paul Elio

    Elon basically denied Sandy Munro's request for help on 3 wheel vehicle projects (Nobe, arcimoto and another) Elon responded that 3 wheelers were not safe enough. Personally I'd love to have a Nobe one day, maybe when I retire.

    Tesla and Giga Metals reported talks sends stock soaring

    Then when the stock was up GIGA board dumped their shares. Not all that familiar with stocks but is that investor fraud? Drop a Tesla hint to raise your position to get out? https://thedeepdive.ca/giga-metals-chairman-unloads-majority-of-position-following-tesla-rumour-excitement/

    Nikola partners with GM

    End of the Badger, in my opinion. GM is to engineer and build with their own tech, what the heck do they need Nikola for? convenient scape goat? If GM was to use Nikola's 'superior tech' (yes sarcasm as it is yet to be proven) then it might make sense.
