I seriously doubt there would be any underground tunnels involved, since it's usually cost prohibitive. I think Elon's a fan of elevated guideways - he's suggested elevated highway lanes and some sort of personal rapid transit installed on central dividers. Judging by the air hockey analogy, I'd...

If anyone's interested, a "Climate literacy" course just started on Coursera this week. It deals with this very issue - the huge gap between public perception and the findings of the scientific community. I think it's great for both proponents and (genuine) skeptics so people don't just rely on...

Now that we've started with wildly optimistic speculations about Chris Porritt's role, let's please salivate over One-77's pushrod suspension for a moment :biggrin:

This is from a TM forum member (link http://www.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/tesla-s-p85-vs-porsche-panamera-gts):

That's been the plan for a while AFAIK, and the reason they haven't installed them yet according to Elon is that Solarcity is also quite backlogged.

This probably doesn't have anything to do with tomorrow's announcement, but here's another cryptic tweet: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/318888865668681728

Just to add fuel to the Phinergy speculation, TM has about a dozen patents relating to metal-air batteries, the last one published January 17 (TESLA MOTORS, INC. - Patent applications). I'm sure it's something more modest though. On a related note, we could use a TM Patent Master Spy Thread to...

What would be a reasonable rate to expect in the future? Is the superchargers' 120kW already pushing it? Assuming batteries/capacitors are not the issue. Sorry for going OT, just wondering.

Yeah, you can see their logo in that workshop video and the battery pack pictures. https://www.facebook.com/Applusidiada :smile:

Someone posted this station wagon render on Tesla's fb. It would sell like crazy in Europe :smile: Tesla Model ST Theophilus Chin

Not sure if this is big news but it might help battery prices (and no 'laboratory breakthrough' stuff for a change). Also, model S gets a mention! :smile: http://business.financialpost.com/2012/10/26/canada-lithium-will-produce-hard-rock-lithium-in-march-2013/

I think Elon specifically said so in an interview. Here: Musk’s ambitions to return a “Roadster follow-up” (supercar) to the lineup have been noted before, and this car he said will have “supercar performance, but not supercar pricing.” Hullo from long-time lurker/fanboy!
