Musk laid down the gauntlet. If I weren't building satellites to send up on his rockets, I'd find this an intriguing idea to consider. Who among you is up to the challenge? And I just realized my grammatical error in the thread title.... Sigh.

Looks like NATO is more or less dead now, so when does Russia make the move? For funsiess you can also predict crude oil price increase amount when it happens.

Hey guys. I know this is a Tesla forum, but I'm guessing some of you have had Leafs at some point, and have tried what I'm about to ask. So there's a family reunion next week (June 5-8) in Breckenridge. I'd really like to take the Leaf there if we could. I'll be starting out in Broomfield, but...

So given Elon's announcement yesterday that the semi will indeed be long haul, I have a theory to put out there. I don't believe the next versions (350kW or above) of the supercharger will be meant for the cars (S,X, 3) but instead for the semis. Given the peak performance levels of the S and...

This year North America is for all intents and purposes energy independent. Canada, Mexico, and the US through localized trade are virtually independent from the wider world for energy imports of oil and nat gas. Thanks to the shale revolution, and the rapidly evolving set of technologies which...

Tesla updated their supercharger map, and they're projecting what looks like Clovis as a supercharger site for 2017.

Tesla updated their supercharger map, and it looks like they're projecting Lubbock as a supercharger site in 2017. Sure will make the Dallas to Albuquerque trips easier.

So my dad was visiting the other day, and (as a former roofer) noticed my asphalt tiles were beginning to look worn out. He said I could probably get another year or two out of them, which got me thinking... Tesla solar tiles? (assuming Elon can actually pull off this product within that...

I'm probably just googling the wrong terms. What I'm trying to figure out is the maximum theoretical capability of a silicon (or other material) solar panel to convert sunlight into electricity. What I'm asking is analogous to the thermodynamic efficiencies of various heat technologies. The...

FYI... I emailed PNM earlier this week asking if any more DC fast chargers were planned in the PNM area. They replied this afternoon two were planned "within a couple of months"! One will be placed between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, the other within Santa Fe itself. I'm quite excited about the...
