Speculation: Perhaps bringing Solar City under the umbrella of Tesla was the plan from the beginning. We know that Solar City was conceived by Elon and his cousins on the road to Burning Man in 2004. Elon joined the board of Tesla earlier that year.

Excellent news for autonomous vehicles: Remarks on Automated Vehicles: Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS) (1/14/2016) | Department of Transportation

"DETROIT, MI – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx is in Detroit Thursday to announce efforts by the Obama Administration to accelerate vehicle automation technologies and other transportation initiatives." Anyone know when this announcement is scheduled to take place? Obama...

No clue about partners. I heard only that partner(s) will be announced. Please take that info with a grain of salt!

Well, we already know that Rousch has been building the prototypes, and these prototypes are cruising the streets of Mountain View and Austin. I don't know anything about the potential partners, but my sources seemed to think that once partner(s) are announced, fully autonomous cars would...

Not public yet, but one to watch: Carbon3D | CLIP Technology - Breakthrough technology centered on tunable photochemical process for layerless 3D printing Google Ventures recently invested $100 million. A couple good people from Tesla are on the leadership team.

Doubtful. I heard that Apple proposed collaborating on a car with Tesla. Elon said no. So Apple decided to go ahead with their own car. As I posted above: The car will not be autonomous, it is designed to compete with BMW 1 series, and it will be marketed to Millennials (who, for now, are...

Right, which is especially weird considering the fact that he is the CEO of a solar-installation company. This might've been a deliberate attempt to spread FUD, and not simple ignorance on his part. Perhaps it is sour grapes that Tesla didn't select his company as one of their partners, or...

Elon Musk's 3-Biggest Powerwall Whoppers, written by the founder and CEO of Run on Sun, "Pasadena's premier installer and integrator of top-of-the-line solar power installations."
