    TheStreet: Tesla Has One Big Problem

    Anyone can build a reasonably good EV, it's just a matter of exactly how good it is and how much it costs them to build it. Because there is no point in building it if they can't make a reasonable profit on it eventually. And for the profit to be significant, they have to build them in volume...

    TheStreet: Tesla Has One Big Problem

    I hear you but, depending upon your perspective, it's fair to say there are other players in the EV game. But they don't really compete directly with Tesla. They are the "alternative" for someone looking for an EV that is not a Tesla. They will sacrifice some range or value or reliability or...

    Entrepreneur: Elon Musk Is An Awful Speaker. But Keep Listening.

    I've noticed a clear improvement in Elon's communication skills in the last year. In any case, I can understand him just fine and don't expect him to excel in all areas.

    Entrepreneur: Elon Musk Is An Awful Speaker. But Keep Listening.

    You will find very few people who can deliver well on both counts. I'll take the one that has something worthwhile to say.

    Entrepreneur: Elon Musk Is An Awful Speaker. But Keep Listening.

    If you are being questioned as a suspect for a crime you had nothing to do with, the best pause is the pause that never quits.

    TheStreet: Tesla Has One Big Problem

    We can count on SpaceDoc to swoop in with the gloomy Tesla prognosis. Every take is negative, as sure as the sun rises every morning. He seems unaware that industry analysts have been predicting for many years that competing EV's would wipe Tesla out by 2019. Now they don't even bother to say...

    Honey bees at Giga Texas

    Why do you have such a negative interpretation of everything having anything to do with Tesla or Elon Musk? Do you hate success? Tesla is taking hundreds of acres of what was a mineral mining wasteland with completely messed up hydrology, adjacent to a major Interstate highway, an area that...

    The Anger of Tesla Fans Is Becoming a Problem

    It's not so much having "to spell out every detail" as much as it is using the correct words. Autopilot is analogous to autopilots on a boat or an airplane that can hold or a course or heading (or even follow a pre-programmed route) but that still needs a pilot to oversee it. That's what...

    Lex Fridman interviews Elon Musk (12/28/2021)

    I'm driving the latest version of FSD and was recently in some super-high glare situations due to the road having been treated with an anti-icer and it being wet with brilliant white snow on either side of the lanes. It's about the most glare I've ever experienced as a driver - almost completely...

    What will happen to diesel powered equipment?

    They will all go electric but the transition of heavy equipment is going to take a lot longer than cars so I don't think there is any rush.

    Cybertruck with a side of Pie

    Tesla alternates phone app updates between iPhone and Android. Always have. On the latest update, Android was not far behind, but I imagine some impatient people felt like it took forever! :LOL:

    Cybertruck with a side of Pie

    In 2018, when my wife and I took delivery of our first Model 3's, I was glad we both had Samsung phones because the 'phone as key' function (PAK) worked flawlessly, every time, once we configured our power saving/sleep settings properly, while iPhone users were all having erratic, unreliable...

    Cybertruck with a side of Pie

    You have a strange definition of "news". There is no news and there is no evidence Tesla will make a phone. Yes, I've researched it and found zero evidence. And you haven't posted a shred of evidence either. People these days... :rolleyes:

    Cybertruck with a side of Pie

    No, there is no evidence Tesa is developing a phone. that's just dumb. 8 minutes of my life I will never get back. :rolleyes:

    Mary Barra Living in Cloud Cuckoo Land

    That would be true if EV subsidies would increase battery supply more quickly but it's not clear that it would. There are numerous new battery production facilities being built right now with more added all the time and EV production is still going to be constrained by batteries (as it is now)...

    $TSLA - $1,000,000,000,000.00 Market Cap in 2022

    No, soft China sales were due to shipping so many cars to Europe. Tesla cannot meet all of China demand. It will help when Giga Berlin is supplying Europe so China production can stay mostly in China.

    EV sales have doubled. Is a ‘tidal wave’ coming?

    What we learned is that the garage/storage/workshop building that you are using as an example is not particularly well insulated and you have done the calculations for weather that that is far from average for zone 3. Remember, my comment was not about heating a home through the middle of winter...

    EV sales have doubled. Is a ‘tidal wave’ coming?

    Wrong. The heating values you supplied are the same figures used to determine the required furnace capacity per sq. ft. in Zone 3. When sizing a furnace, the coldest expected weather is assumed and it's over-specified about 10 percent to ensure the furnace doesn't struggle to bring a cold house...

    EV sales have doubled. Is a ‘tidal wave’ coming?

    You can use whatever kind of unfavorable assumptions you want to make it sound sketchy but 40 BTU/h/sq. ft. would not be considered "well insulated and non-drafty" on a typical heating day. Your error is not fully understanding how the recommended number of BTU's per sq. ft. relates to actual...

    EV sales have doubled. Is a ‘tidal wave’ coming?

    With a well insulated, non-drafty house of a normal size, I think you would be surprised just how much heat 4 or 5 Powerwalls could provide using an efficient heat pump, especially if only the occupied rooms were fully heated. Suitably sized solar would only extend the length of total power...
