  1. How ‘switched reluctance motors’ are being brought back, mainly to advance electric mobility

    It's clear from the manual section reproduced in No. 5 and the Munro teardowns that the motors in the cars are not pure reluctance motors. The magnets are obvious. At the same time Musk has touted what seems to be a new induction motor. I guess anything is possible but they must have a pretty...

  2. How ‘switched reluctance motors’ are being brought back, mainly to advance electric mobility

    Afraid memory isn't my long suite. I know I have posted on motor speculations before though. Let me be clear that I am not predicting that the CT will have CRIMs. I haven' the temerity. Musk made a big fuss over them in one of his recent presentations and that suggests that the CT will use them...

  3. How ‘switched reluctance motors’ are being brought back, mainly to advance electric mobility

    The owner's manuals list the motors, e.g. (X LR+) Note that this is the opposite of the configuration mentioned in the Tweet.

  4. How ‘switched reluctance motors’ are being brought back, mainly to advance electric mobility

    Tesla has been using hybrid SRM's i.e. PMSRM's with embedded permanent magnets in them for a while now. My dual motor X has a PMSRM motor in the front. But, as noted, the magnets, while they solve some problems, cause others the biggest of which is cost. Thus Tesla, as discussed by Musk in some...

  5. Tesla ... great company , wrong name!!

    Nor is there any need to now that they are going back to induction motors.

  6. Toyota is quietly pushing Congress to slow the shift to electric vehicles

    "Toyota has also begun to wage a campaign of FUD—fear, uncertainty, and doubt—to cast EVs as unreliable and undesirable. "If we are to make dramatic progress in electrification, it will require overcoming tremendous challenges, including refueling infrastructure, battery availability, consumer...

  7. What Will Elon Musk Reveal On Tesla's Upcoming AI Day?

    "Full self driving will be available by the end of the year. " That's what he has said every other year."

  8. Daimler Truck Spinoff And Volvo Group: ICE Out, BEV (And Hydrogen?) In

    The thing about hydrogen is that it will always be less efficient than the electricity used to produce it could have been laden into a battery. But if this electricity is dirt cheap it doesn't matter. Hydrogen could be less efficient but overall more profitable than BEV because of the extra...

  9. Want to invest in electric cars? GM could be a better bet than Tesla

    It's true for a "good" investor. I did break my own rule and use the word "good" without specifying the attached metric. Here it is the amount of money you can make. Compare two stocks one of which helps third world poor people while reducing greenhouse gasses etc and which rises linearly in...

  10. I almost got excited.........

    The Lucid cars aren't exciting?

  11. Fiery deaths?

    Easy. The manufacturer has deep pockets.

  12. Want to invest in electric cars? GM could be a better bet than Tesla

    Whether the cars are of good quality or poor and whether the company grows with more or less monotonic increase in share price has nothing to do with whether the shares are a good investment or not. A good investor makes money whether the shares go up or down. The necessary condition is change...

  13. Model S Plaid Delivery Event

    This has been kicked around pretty extensively on this and other fora. Several of the manufacturers, including Tesla are using cooled charging cables (this is why the V3 SC have skinnier hoses than the previous models) but there has to be a limit somewhere. Several OEMs (e.g. Lucid) have gone to...

  14. Model S Plaid Delivery Event

    Thats 875A at 385V!

  15. Elon Musk and taxes

    I don't know if you are aware of this but you are rather rare. Envy is an extremely powerful force. Here in the US it is the foundation of one of our two major political parties (the other is founded on greed). Margaret Thatcher observed years ago that the left would rather have the people they...

  16. Elon Musk and taxes

    I know people just love to think that way but I really don't think that's the root cause. Pickety is pretty convincing. You think "many.. are getting away with criminal tax evasion". Be curious as to how you come to that conclusion. You don't say "I think" or "I suspect" so you must have some...

  17. Elon Musk and taxes

    I won't say that some rich folks don't own a politician or 3 but I think the real reason is that capital has greater potential to earn than labor. And that it has always been that way and always will be that way. At least that's what Thomas Pickety says and I'm beginning to think he knows what...

    Thank you.

  19. Elon Musk and taxes

    And it is still an amount you don't have. I don't know if you have actually ever dealt with these things but in the day you are given the warrant it has some intrinsic value. Someone might give you $20 for a $10 warrant if he things the firm is going to do well but all you have is a piece of...

  20. Elon Musk and taxes

    And so do a whole lot of things in the tax code. It sure is whether you sell or retain the shares. This is not untaxed taxable income. It is TAXED phantom income. The tax is owed whether you sell some of the shares or not. The risk is that if you rely on the shares to cover your tax bill and...
