No. That was another study. Here's the one Lombard is refering to: Comparative Environmental Life Cycle Assessment of Conventional and Electric Vehicles - Hawkins - 2012 - Journal of Industrial Ecology - Wiley Online Library

Well, there are other studies that come to about the same conclusion. This one for example. I dont see any car makers behind it: Green Car Congress: New full LCA highlights complexity of environmental advantages and disadvantages of EVs relative to ICE vehicles; the importance of life cycle...

Well I´m all for instant gratification, even though that might be the reason why I can't afford a Model S :smile: But what's interesting is how dealers stops competition by having laws prohibiting car makers to sell their own product. And how they call it a scam when Tesla tries to explain that...

This is funny. I learned something about USA reading about these issues. I thought USA was the home of the free and brave, and a capitalist society. These laws that prohibits companies to sell their own products is something you expect to find in Poland in the dark ages, or in Sweden 40 years ago.

Sure, I got a bit carried away :smile: The more I live the more I learn, as Schwarzenegger once said. I asked some people who know these things, and they said, a 35 % lighter car would reduce the energy needed by 6 %. That would mean that a lighter and smaller Gen III would need 80 kwh to...

How much cheaper will Gen III be to produce? * The technology will be improved, but most of the cost for research and development will already be paid for by the Model S * Less bells and whistles, like no 17inch screen How many kwh will the GenIII car need to drive 300 miles? * A smaller car...

Well, if they pay $200 per kwh now, in three years with a price falling 10 % every year as Elon stated recently, a 75 kwh-package will cost 10 935. Considering that battery producers will start to dramatically ramp up production the following years (400%) IDC Energy Insights Forecasts...

There's a lot of experts that have said that Tesla in NO way will be able to produce the 300 mile Model S, not at that pricetag. We don't know when Tesla plan to start selling GenIII, but I'm sure Elon is waiting for the battery price to drop below $200 per kwh. Battery cost dropping below...

I hope we don't see a prototype before they are sure to be able to deliver a GenIII with 300 miles of range at a $ 30 000 price. If it's going to be a massmarket car, well the customers won't accept less. Mod Note: as this post sparked a line of discussion relating to costs and range, it has...

I don't know, why would it? The info is up, and no one belives they will fail to deliver the first cars next week. If there's some surprises, they have to be huge, and I can't see that coming. The only thing that could make the stock go up is sales figures. The stock may even go down big time...

1,618 KM in 24 hours: a new world record for ZOE - media.renault.com "ZOE has set a new world record for the longest distance travelled in 24 hours by a production electric car. ZOE completed 363 laps of the Aubevoye speed ring in Normandy, a distance of 1,618 km (1005 miles). It thereby...

Boring. I want signs, hidden messages!

Some people are holding up their indexfinger, is that some secret message? Or is it a standard US-company-soon-to-deliver-a-product-sign?

So, either the Bloomberg New Energy Finance are talking out of their hats, or Tesla will not make a profit in the forseable future?
