Winner winner. My guess is that like vampire bats they are going to suck some blood out of each "commuter". There will be somewhere between 22 - 30 percent in transmission losses because of the back and forth. Normal power grid transmission losses are around 15 percent. I can't imagine this being able to work without 480V AC fast charging stations being located everywhere.
The solar roof is available, but most people don't want to get it because it costs about twice as much as putting solar panels on. The only thing that would make it worth it is if you actually needed a new roof.
Alert readers will notice the increasing tie-ins with China. Expect much more of this going forward as Musk finds that doing "business" in China makes it much easier to avoid scrutiny, so long as he retains favor with the Emperor.
Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan & CO have decided to make Tesla a success story. Period. Bank loans, underwriting of securities and bonds are the rainmakers. Elon´s "side businesses" are a welcome additional revenue stream for Tier1. What to complain about? Wall Street is happy.
Dude's not stupid, he's taking Donnie's side & opposing the shutdown to reel in the redhat rubes as he knows the lefties are already indoctrinated.
Yeah, let's all look down on Elon, since we've all built a multi-billion $ company and made the electric car a real industry. All his boondoggles and failed ideas - like a re-usable rocket (which sort of worked). So what if not everything pans out? He tries a lot of shit. Some works, some doesn't. But he's done more to move the lever than all the people on this board combined.
Does anybody reading have a telsa and had to have the battery pack replaced at the end of its life? (or personally know someone who has?) I would like to know: 1. how much replacing the battery pack cost 2. how many years and miles/km the pack ran for
what lever's that? And whoa, way to take a risk at surmising that a bunch of traders whose purpose is to redistribute wealth to their pocket haven't "moved the lever".
The rumour is that a million mile battery will be announced at the Tesla battery day in June. It is a very rare internal combustion engine car that will last a million miles. There is a 2007 Toyota pickup on YouTube that managed it. Search YouTube for Tesla million mile battery. You tubers are way ahead of Wall Street when it comes to Tesla research.
