    Supercapacitor News

    Eh.. No? http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/capchg.html The current charges are also DC, and could probably provide more current, but not safely given current li-ion tech.

    Hybride batterij laadt in 5 minuten op

    Er is niets in de natuurkunde wat 5min laden van 100kwh oid verbiedt. Een combinatie van een high-temp supergeleider en eldc's zou technisch gezien wel aan deze specs kunnen voldoen. Ik vermoed eerder dat praktische en financiele restricties aan de client (auto dus) de bottleneck zijn. De vraag...

    Wiki Belgium and the Netherlands: Charging infrastructure (Thuis laden)

    Eerder Nuon en Eon gehad, nu 2 jaar Greenchoice en eigenlijk zeer positief over. Zeer goede klantenservice en duidelijke facturen. Qua prijs moet je heel goed opletten, leveranciers zijn hier in zo onduidelijk mogelijk waardoor je duurder uit bent dan ze voorspiegelen. Vergelijkingssites komen...

    Belgium and the Netherlands: Tesla aandelen

    Net mijn resterende helft verkocht voor 161 (eerder @ 84). Gekocht voor 29. Party time dit weekend :D. Wel weer van plan in te stappen, maar vind de prijs wel erg leunen op future prospects. Ik hoop op een dipje binnenkort :).

    Wat blijft t toch een mooie auto (L), en cool om een Nederlands nummerbord te zien. Ziet er niet eens zo slecht uit imo.

    Climate Change / Global Warming Discussion

    A long but nice read: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/assets/files/pdf/our_work/science_impartiality/science_impartiality.pdf It basically states that the 'fairness' of journalism damages scientific truth (opinion among experts). Journalism always tries to cover all sides of the story, often...

    Blue Model S for Sale

    I don't understand, how is this beneficial for CarMax other than PR value? --edit-- great sell though :D

    Watch A Model S Being Built

    Indeed, nice find. Didn't see this one yet, but I have now :D. Loving those robots and that it's actual proper production in the USA.

    Anyone see a link between GM and Kodak

    I think that the lifetime period of products of GM vs. Kodak could make the difference between a repetition of history and well, a big win for everyone. Transition to electric transport arguably goes slower than transition to digital photography.

    Anti Tesla Guy on Twitter, Boycott Tesla Site, and the "Solyndramobile"

    I agree with Adm and geramu, I'm also Dutch and I know quite a few naysayers like that personally. Don't waste too much of your time on logical fallacists ;). Maybe you should save all his tweets and work and confront him later with a simple "Lol".

    What other tech stock to consider?

    I own quite a few shares of LQMT (Liquidmetal technologies). They're dirt-cheap, and could either go under or be great, about +100% gain atm but that can change in a day :). I think the technology is quite awesome, and it would be nice if it grows to be a good alternative for machining or...

    Interesting NYT Article on Aluminum Supply -- Does This Affect Tesla's Prices?

    Didn't Elon complain about aluminum prices in some interview, joking something like "makes me want to start an aluminum company". But indeed, that would be market cornering and is obviously illegal. Then again, lots of tricks banks pull are 'illegal'...

    Belgium and the Netherlands (Dutch)

    Mja, denk dat het proces wel degelijk heel anders is dan bij andere fabrikanten. Het chassis is totaal niet te vergelijken en de body is geheel aluminium. Daarbij gaf Gilbert Passin (hoofd productie tesla) aan dat het behoorlijk nieuw is, en hij heeft eerder bij Toyota een vergelijkbare positie...

    Great story and nicely written :). Indeed even I would sort of have doubts during a powerout. Solar is the way to go, free driving after you've paid back for it ;)!

    10k mileage mark. What hauling-butt really costs - analyzed with pics

    Awesome. Great info! That's quite a lot better than the $ 0.33 I pay per mile (the Netherlands though, we get ripped off everywhere) One question though, what's the difference between the net usage and what the Model S gauges tell you. I'm assuming they don't account for charging losses and such

    Asking Elon Questions

    I would like to tap his brain haha.. Some questions in general: 1) If it were only up to you, describe how you would (re-)design production and consumption of domestic and industrial energy (including steel industry and such). 2) Obviously, distributed generation plays a major role when using...

    Breaking (sad) News - another Tesla crash

    Auch! My favorite color :frown:... Although I hope nobody ever gets hurt, a major crash would provide great insights to the true safety. Must say that the aluminum crumbles quite differently from plate steel :o.

    Belgium and the Netherlands: Tesla aandelen

    Mijn Binck account zegt +255% (totale waarde 355%). Ooit een deel verkocht voor 84, alles wat het aandeel boven 0 doet is pure winst. Kennis van me werkt bij een investment bank, vroeg laatst of ik 'nog meer advies had'. Haha :D.

    Belgium and the Netherlands (Dutch)

    Audi is a sore loser: "Audi Responds to Report About Tesla Model S Beating its A8's"

    +1 Didn't actually think about it that way. Though I do think it wouldnt be really hard for Audi to start production with some (semi)-ev. They have quite some experience with prototypes. Plus they probably got a load of money. In addition, I think Tesla is more than willing to produce...

    Hyperloop

    I think the carts will be moving along with the flow to hold energy. Anyway plenty of ideas, but the devil is in the details. Probably similar to everything Elon touches. It's gotta be done exactly right or it will be a failure.

    Gaaf! Is het niet een idee om eens aan de overkant (de UT dus ;)) een ev-dag uit te stippelen, evt gegeneraliseerd naar energie+transport? Merk zelf dat onder studenten veel onwetendheid en daarom misverstanden zijn betreft energie en transport.

    Tesla's new core business? CES Grid Storage Device For SuperCharger/SuperSwapper

Oh and electric planes. Oh and one more thing, you'll be able to move to...

    Cramer

    Tesla to make "exciting announcement on Thursday" (correction Tuesday)

    Good news, but not revolutionary at all. I reckon he shouldn't have said "arguably more important". I think making a profit is way more important than offering some "me2"-financial product

    Tesla to be profitable in Q1, both GAAP and non-GAAP

    Woop woop :D. I hope it will break $40. I'm starting to feel really awesome that I got in at 29. I heard some of you buy in before or after hours. Does that mean I could buy some @38 right now?
