VideoGameVet posted:No business case for doing so. They can’t keep up with orders as it is. I just got a 2018 40kwh leaf and it's so nice. Every time I see a model 3 here in Iceland I think of this thread and feel like I dodged a bullet. No service center in Iceland, owners have to ship it to Scotland or Denmark for service. We had a waiting list of 250 people for the 2018 leaf in a nation of 320k, but then again, gas is 9$ a gallon here, so...

Ol' Musky's at it again: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-45445554 "I think people should be nicer to each other," he said. At least he's beyond parody at this point. Was it yesterday or the day before he was calling the cave rescue guy a pedophile again?

It is really embarrassing to see how this formerly great broadcaster writes nowadays. This can’t even be explained by conservative budget cuts because proper use of language when typing at your office PC should really be the part of reporting least affected by the budget. However three lunatics who recently escaped from a privatised asylum disagree. “It was aliens”, one said. “Reptilians have replaced the reporters.”

fishmech posted:The Chevy Bolt is already the thing the Tesla Model 3 was advertised as, beats it in range, and is actually available for the originally stated price. The one advantage Tesla has is the Supercharger Network. If you have to drive distance (say San Diego to Vegas) it makes a big difference in travel time. As to the Bolt, it looks good but I simply don't trust GM. The 60kwh Nissan Leaf finally gets the thermal battery management it needed and it's a 3rd generation model with lots of refinement. That being said since I like smaller cars I wish Nissan would just import the Renault Zoe. My car sits at a train station for 5 days, as I work in LA (live in San Diego County) and rely on my folding bike for all transportation during the week. When the 255k miles on it Toy-Auto dies (if ever) I should just buy a lease trade-in on some low-range electric.

Okay, here's the Guardian.quote:Taking a puff from a joint – which Rogan said was a blend of tobacco and marijuana and is legal in California – Musk said he “almost never” smoked. “I’m not a regular smoker of weed,” Musk said. “I don’t actually notice any effect … I don’t find that it is very good for productivity.”

I don't think Musk is a very smart person, guys.

Tesla's doing great! Honest!quote:Kevin Kassekert has been promoted to VP of People and Places, with responsibility for Human Resources, Facilities, Construction, and Infrastructure Development. Kevin has been with Tesla for 6 years and was previously VP, Infrastructure Development. Kevin led the construction and development of our Gigafactory in Nevada, turning what was a pile of rocks in the Sierra Nevada mountains into a factory employing 12 thousand people with greater output than the entire rest of the world’s battery factories combined, in roughly three years. I, myself, am a first-rate sewist, and am therefore qualified to run a noodle factory. Because ... uh... SYNERGY RAND DISRUPT SINGULARITY!!!! (inhales)

HootTheOwl posted:Am I dumb for thinking electric trucks would have been a better use of RnD than electric cars? the usage profile of trucks doesn't work as well for electric propulsion. electric vehicles are better if you want fast acceleration and are willing to trade short range. trucks dont really care about speeding up quickly but you do want long range. it's also way faster to refuel than recharge a truck, which is also handy for a business/industrial vehicle electric trucks makes more sense when you're talking about smaller trucks, often called straight or box trucks - something that hauls less freight and is only making local deliveries. but if you're talking about a tractor trailer doing regional travel then electric is clearly inferior the best fit for widespread electric vehicle usage is for commuter vehicles, because people generally only commute like a few dozen miles at most at generally predictable times, to generally predictable locations

Telluric Whistler posted:Not happening, and consider the US Electric-likes market to be a forgotten thing outside the well-known (Leaf) players. The tipping point is an installed battery cost of $100/kwh of capacity. At that point, electric cars with decent range (250miles+) become cheaper than gas cars. My prediction? The Chinese end up owning the entire EV car market by 2030 or earlier.

Rigged Death Trap posted:or you know this is in that weird area between fixed route, externally powered vehicles but also i dont want to put down train tracks. there are places that do trolley buses as well, the problem being that your route is locked to your infrastructure but at least your infrastructure isn't as expensive to set up or take down  but this is a century old idea, the problem with widespread implementation is the same as it was seventy years ago - there just aren't many places or applications where this technology makes economic sense. they were somewhat popular in the united states midcentury but generally fell out of use
