    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    You are mixing up 3D object detection with 2D neural network image recognition. Yes, you are. This is a depth map from 3D object detection using stereo cameras. Notice it doesn't have to recognize the shape of an object to know how far it is within a certain distance. Image recognition...

    All three packaging type has improved to the point where cooling and so aging is not an issue any more. To be more precise pouch cell has the best geometry for cooling as it is a rectangle prism shape so its thickness can be sized arbitrarily and can have a large cooling surface if needed...

    Dahn bought the material from another party and tested it. Wrote an article about it. It's not related to Tesla.

    Wrong on most points. Prismatic cells (or rather packaging) wont change those properties of the batteries. Other car makers are using NMC type cell material which is safer but more expensive. Tesla uses NCA which is cheaper, has slightly higher energy density but not as safe (lower thermal...

    Battery (type) makes little difference on rated range. Silicon carbide inverters make a difference. Trad car makers waited until suppliers picked up this technology (better say will release them in 2020-2021). If however this sentence below is true for the i4, then this spec is impressive...

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    Looks like it's getting close to zero even though there are some clever folks here. But they are ok with the lazy answer (Toyota/Honda/Hyundai/BMW/etc investing in H2 just to deter the attention from batteries) which doesn't explain why does the Japanese or the Korean government want to build a...

    several hundred thousands of cars annually don't prove anything yet.

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    Again, they are thinking ahead. Current H2 prices aren't relevant when they are planning for the future. Not sure I understand your oil comment. There are gasoline cars on the road, you suggested to replace them with CNG. I think it makes more sense to replace them with H2 now (if BEV is not...

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    Not if your goal is lowering emissions. Because of math.

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    An answer to this for example: Why does Honda CEO say this: "The hurdles to battery electric vehicles and complete autonomous driving are still quite high," Hachigo said in an interview last month at Honda Motor Co.'s global headquarters here. When it comes to electrification, Hachigo said...

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    I found some data why Japan might not be interested in CNG cars over H2 which nwdiver was suggesting Here is the emission of several drivetrains based on German grid mix: Treibhausgas-Bilanz: Das Klima braucht die Energiewende | ADAC light grey: car manufacturing dark grey: fuel preparation...
