Separate names with a comma.
I think control of the fake engine noise should be given to the owners of the car. Have a setting somewhere that lets you turn it on, and even...
So all batteries have the same efficiency? All, inverters? All Motors? All transmissions? If weight is so important, why is the heaviest...
Going lightweight is not as important as having a good drive train. Having an efficient drive train means more of the energy that leaves the...
I think a hybrid wind/electric boat is a great idea. Adding solar panels may not be worth it, but it is also worth looking at.
Going to a station is less convenient than plugging in at home. People will use the battery only for most of their driving, especially if the...
The headline should read "Op-Ed: Chevrolet Bolt Makes 200-Mile, $30,000 Electric Car A Reality – Congratulations Tesla". Chevy making a 200 mile...
I think self driving cars will replace buses, but not subways or commuter rail. Trains are just really efficient, and when well implemented they...
I think the need for driver competence will diminish more quickly than actual driver competence. As long as we still require drivers to know how...
I don't see a big advantage for a plug in hydrogen hybrid over a plug in gas or diesel hybrid. I think biofuels are more promising than hydrogen,...
This isn't going to shock Tesla. This is what Telsa's mission is. Elon Musk got involved in EVs because existing manufacturers failed to innovate,...
Reducing the fuel requirement doesn't just save on fuel costs, it also means you can use smaller fuel tanks and a smaller engine, and it makes...
I just don't think the battery swap is better than the supercharger. It depends on what the price ultimately is, but if it costs as much as it...
Even at 6 kWh of thermal energy to refine a gallon of gas, you could run a turbine, transmit the electricity, and charge an EV enough to go a good...
The difference is in the amount they are spending. Tesla is spending a huge amount of money on the gigafactory and on new products, while other...
It may become more feasible in the future, if one of those thrusters that don't require fuel turns out to actually work, it becomes much cheaper...
There isn't a massive debris field of man-made space garbage. The total amount of stuff in space is really very tiny. It doesn't take a huge...
I am curious about how careful deniers have been to avoid committing slander or libel. If they've slipped up in this regard, I think throwing the...
Anything Tesla does to get around it will either give up ground, grant franchises to someone independent, or if they maintain control, the...
Replacing the battery when it runs out is less convenient than filling up at a gas station, let alone home charging. It looks to be more expensive...
No, I don't think they should. I think they should continue to focus on the cars. Tesla does not exist to please shareholders, Tesla exists to...
I'm still hopeful for fusion mostly because of all the failed attempts. Throughout all of these, we've made little bits of scientific progress,...
I'd be happy with an autopilot that eliminates accidents in 90% of dangerous situations and triples accidents in the other 10%. That would...
The technology will reach a point where the most dangerous thing it can do is hand control over to the driver. Until then, the driver and the...
If the electricity is that much cheaper, it will be that much cheaper to charge an EV. Hydrogen will still have a higher cost because distribution...
People don't have to ignore the fact that they will soon be merging until the last instant, as they approach they assess how much space they need...
It is possible to patent things that will never work. And you are correct that nobody has proven that this device would not violate the laws of...
I don't think limited range is what causes range anxiety. The problem is that charging an EV is fundamentally different than filling up a car....
The problem is that the people merging early cause the lane they merge into to slow down earlier than necessary. If people used both lanes equally...
Self driving cars will be safer, that alone makes it worthwhile. It also lets the car do the boring stuff, like cruising for hours at a time. For...
I think it is plausible, but we will have to see. It definitely won't be as roomy as a Model X, and I don't think three across the back is going...
I'd like to see the numbers relative to other cars in the class. The Model S does not compete with the i3, one is a big luxury sedan, the other is...
10 miles EV range is pretty pathetic, but it is a step in the right direction. People who by this car will notice the engine coming on partway...
In the part of the report that I can actually see, he assumes that the battery will be 70 kWh. Considering that the Model S 60 KWh achieves an EPA...
If you see things this blatantly wrong, write to the editors. If there are no editors for the "news" outlet, then perhaps it isn't really worth...
There are two ways to get to some sense of price parity, you can look at it from a consumers point of view, and figure out what car you could...
They conveniently did not compare to Tesla. They talk about "typical" EVs having short range. But to get price parity, you can't look at a Leaf....
I look forward to the day that both of those can be replaced with electrics.
It isn't just poor design, the reason the cost is so high and the product so bad is in part because of the nature of hydrogen. To get it into a...
If they are going to do multiple models, they need to be at least as different as the S and the X. I could see as many as three versions, one...
It has the benefit of continuing to generate power after the sun goes down. With some designs at least, it takes longer to get going in the...
Lux may be right in saying that the gigafactory's contribution to price reduction is not enough to achieve the sales goals Tesla has set out. But...
True, it is the peaks that matter, but having 95% less to handle at the station typically means the peaks are lower too. There isn't always a...
The moon isn't a good stopping point for going to Mars, because the Oberth effect makes it more efficient the lower your altitude on your escape...
Holding an earth atmosphere's worth of pressure against complete vacuum is far more difficult than holding it against one tenth of earth's...
Full purchase price being saved in 10 years is a bit optimistic. And the Model 3 is still a few years out. Most of the numbers I've seen show...
Cheap gas vehicles are better than cheap electric vehicles, and will be for a couple years more. This should change soon, especially in places...
The idea that FCVs are competition to EVs is laughable. If you care about the environment and look into the actual environmental impact, EVs win....
Inductive charging is really cool tech, and has a lot of uses, but so far what I've seen just isn't as good as a good old fashioned wire when it...
Long term, maybe. Short-medium term, no. There are a good number of people who enjoy building their own cars, and those people are an asset to...
The fact that a Leaf's range doesn't match its MPGe rating just means it has a tank equivalent to less than a gallon of gas. If a gas car gets 20...
